What u hear problems in vista 32bit

#What u hear problems in vista 32bit2 I just installed the newer variety of the x-fi notebook card with the wireless broadcast function, and for whatever reason installing the drivers failed the first time, I tried a clean install after that, and the microphone is displayed as not available and what u hear isn't present either, so is there a problem in the driver installation or are those features just non existent in the newer software I also noticed that line in works and the microphone input doesn't, gah, windows fixta is irritating,
EDIT: I found out how to get what u hear to work, I kind of felt stupid but all you have to do is right click in the recording device manager and hit show disabled devices and boom what u hear and the microphone input are there, for what reason I don't know why they were disabled in the first place, but hope this helps anyone with the same problem

+Re: "What U Hear" Missing in Win7G ?
Agreed! I have an X-FI Extreme, upgraded to win 7, installed the latest audio drivers, and have just spent the last 2 hours trying to get my "what u hear" back without any luck at all.
I'll also mention that "disabled devices" are shown in the recording options, so that is not the issue.
I was using vista before with the exact same hardware and "what u hear" was available. The driver version was 5.2..200 dated 4/02/07 ... The current driver for windows-7 is 5.2..208 dated 3/08/2009. Maybe installing an older driver would do the trick? I don't know if that would work as I haven't been able to find the old driver I was using for download (just been bombarded with broken links). I'm also guessing that you'll be held hostage to the latest drivers in windows 7.
Get the latest drivers to lose functionality? Sounds like something apple would pull on you!
If anyone has a solution for this, please let us know, otherwise I'll be rolling all the way back to good old XP again.

  • Vista (32bit) and 'what u hear' problem

    Hi,
    Wonder if anyone has encountered this problem. I usually mess around with sound n stuff and in XP used to record stuff on the fly using what u hear tool.
    Since moving to Vista (32bit) whenever i record utilising the 'what you hear' recording setting the recording volume tends to MAX out at 100% regardless of what setting i set it at using the sound controller.
    I have the X-Fi Xtreme music edition and am using the latest CL drivers (too afraid to try the M$ WHQL driver update which arri'ved for me today).
    I use Adobe Audition .2 to record audio.
    Anyone have a work around?
    Thanks

    Here's the answer to the WHAT U HEAR problem that just came in today from the wonderful folks at Creative.
    "Please be informed that drivers updated from the web will comply with
    UAA standards. However, due to Microsoft's new Windows Vista?
    architecture, some features may be lost. I regret to inform you that
    currently "What U Hear" as recording source is not supported in Windows
    Vista."
    Doesn't sound very creative to me. I was originally asking about this in regards to a x-fi xtreme audio board but it looks like they've thrown up their arm is surrender to Vista period.
    I have managed a fair work around by putting a y connector at my card's speaker out, running a patch cable to my stereo, and then sending it's signal back into the card's line in socket. There's probably a lot of signal loss but it does allow me to use my stereo's reverb and equalizer to good advantage. Good enough for what I'm doing.

  • "What u Hear" problem with vis

    I used to use the option "What U Hear" a lot when i sat in teamspeak/ventrilo, if i wanted to play of a song or something to my friends, then i just switched from Microphone to "what u hear" then the people would hear what i was playing.
    Anyway, i've tried this in vista, and so far i've not gotten it to work, so i wonder if anyone here has done it's and can explain to me how its done?
    The thing is, i first disable my mic, enable "what u hear", set it to default, the meter comes up showing sound, but when this is done, and i open teamspeak and join my friends servers, and i try to use my push to talk button to "play music/sound" nothing happends, i also sometimes get some sort of error with teamspeak when i have "what u hear" enabled too. So there is a problem somewhere here.
    Haven't tried in ventrilo yet, so may be a teamspeak problem as well.
    My soundcard is Creative X-FI Xtrememusic.
    Edit: Just got it to work, seems to be a slight problem with teamspeak.Message Edited by Nitrius on 03-7-200702:44 PM

    I dunno if you have tried it but in ventrilo if you go into setup you can chage the input device there to What u hear, I have use direct sound box unticked. Personally for me changing the input device in vista doesnt work that well with vent. Im not sure how TS works.Message Edited by Renegade87 on 03-7-200702:23 PM

  • (X-Fi Xtremegamer) Recording two streams of audio simultaneously via "What U Hear"

    Hello everybody.
    I'm running Windows 7 32bit and have downloaded and installed drivers from creative download page.
    Also performed an update. Integrated sound card (realtek high def) is disabled from BIOS. So my system
    detects only X-Fi Xtremegamer.
    I want to be able to record music in background and voice/guitar (input from FlexiJack) together.
    Currently I have set "Audio Creation Mode" for my sound card and have chosen FlexiJack input to be a microphone.
    So the problem is, when I set "What U hear" in windows recording devices as the default recording device, in idea it must record everything together. Audio being played in background and my voice over it from microphone alltogether.
    The problem is, once I set "What you hear" as the default recording device, my microphone immediately goes into "currently unavailable" state. If I put mic back as defaul rec dev, it becomes active again. This is very very frustrating.
    I know people here are pros who may have very sophisticated setups with all that MIDI controllers, routing etc. And you may tell me "So whats the problem, just set the music play on one channel of Audition for example and record your voice with mic as default recording device on the other one".
    Yes it is a valid notice, but there are situations when I really need to record both, background music/sounds along with microphone input sound simultaneously. A good example is online karaoke site(s) who need both sound streams to be recorded simultaneously and in realtime.
    Could anybody, please, give me an advise how to correct this problem? I don't want to throw away such a nice piece of hardware just because of this problem

    Oh, boy... You have my sympathy with the 'What-U-Hear' thing...recording two audio streams at once (mic etc)...
    I just upgraded my home studio system to a Win7 computer...I use SONAR to do my digital/MIDI work...
    On my old WinXP machine (a Pentium 4 with 4 gig RAM), I had the luxury of actually being ABLE to record in 'What-U-Hear' mode...
    I figured I needed a new soundcard with my new Win7...so I went out and bought the well-recommended M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI card...
    Big mistake...I CAN'T record ANY 'What-U-Hear' streams at all!!...I wanted to tear out the new M-Audio card and plunk my trusty old Audigy 2 back in...but, the problem is not that Creative doesn't have Win7 drivers...it's that the SOFTWARE that came with it is largely useless according to the Creative site.
    Funny, I transferred all my files from the old computer (including all the Creative apps) to the new Win7 computer, and guess what? Good old 'WAVE STUDIO' from 2001 - version 4:12:07 - works just fine (WITH the ****ed M-Audio card, too!)...
    However, I STILL can't get the M-Audio 192 to do 'What-U-Hear' recording...!!
    I wonder if I DID put the old Audigy in my new Win7 computer...would that most important bit of Creative software that I use all the time (Wave Studio)...work?
    What a minefield!
    But about your particular problem...I think it is something to do with memory addressing, that the mic won't work with other audio streams...
    There is a program called 'DIGITAL CABLES' available on ZDNET for free download (costs $30 in full version) that is SUPPOSED to get around the 'What-U-Hear' problem...but, I'm afraid to screw everything up...since I use my system regularly to do work for my church choir...
    cheers...

  • X-fi Fatality Titanium "What u hear" Vista Problem

    Now let me begin.
    I Recently bought a Creative Fatality Pro, and i was recieving constant Blue Screen of Deaths, and i figured it was a faulty card, and my warranty expired.
    I do ALOT of audio editing for church, work and a forum where i am the admin of. My most used feature is the "What u Hear" feature, which is excellent. I've always used it since i was young. However... this week i paid $400+ for the Creative Fatality titanium professional champion, the big mamma, and from what i've been told here and there, Titanium does NOT support this feature on Vista...
    Why the hell not? I mean.. i paid big money and i get less features than the OLDER cards?
    . Is there a legit Reason why there is no "What u hear" in Vista? (i have checked recording and selected show hidden and unused devices)
    2. Is there a work around to fix this? (Installing XP drivers over the Vista ones)
    3. Will this be fixed in the future?
    Im fuming at Customer Service for basically not knowing the card existed... And then having no idea what to do.
    Can someone PLEASE help me with this? I've been browsing all day to no avail... Cheers.

    The Titanium does not have "What u hear". I think it's because of DRM in Vista.

  • Xfi - xtreme/vista - no "what you hear" - please h

    I have puchased new Dell pc, with Vista ultimate, and soundblaster xfi xtreme card in. Looking at the forums i am not the only person with the problem of locating "what you hear", i have gone through process of right clicking and showing disbled functions but alas it is not there. I have uninstalled drivers and reinstalled and it makes no difference at all. My soundcard was put in by Dell and i am little reluctant having had this pc only a week to take out the soundcard to check for product number, therefore although i get 90 day help from Creative i cant use this service. I spend a lot of time playing music triv on paltalk and without "what you hear" i cant do this - i have gone through all forums to try find solution but none found so far, but there must be one.Would i be better off getting rid of Vista and putting XP on, will this work ??Many thanks

    Many thanks for response, it is X-FI XTREME MUSIC PCI SOUNDCARD, it is Vista Ultimate I am running. I have tried absolutely everything have reinstalled sound card/drivers but still the same, and there is no "what you hear" available. Even paltalk have tried to help me and they say it should be there but alas no.
    If you have link to drivers please let me know, any help at the moment would be appreciated. ThanksCharlie
    The drivers are on the Creative website. The only way I know to restore the "What You Hear" is to uninstall the driver and all the software, install an older version of the driver that had the "What you Hear" component (I don?t know where you?re going to get an older version of the driver), then update the driver to the latest one without uninstalling the old one unless prompted to during the update. After that you can install the software and whatever else you need.
    This was how I got the option back after the driver update from the Microsoft Windows site installed the driver which removed the ?What You Hear? form my system.

    I do not have 'what you hear' as an option any longer with the new Titanium; I had it with my older X-Fi Fatalty, but not this new card.
    I would imagine it has something to do with Microsoft trying to limit recording of DRM-protected content, and Creative bowing to their wishes.

  • SB Xi-Fi gaming - x64 vista - EAX console software / "what u hear" ?

    Greets,
    I'm looking for the software that installs the EAX console, along with the "what u hear" input/recording options. I have the original driver installation cd - but for XP 32bit only, and I'm running vista64 currently. In the past, I downloaded this off the product support page, but the recent drivers I found there are driver only, and some watered-down options software.
    The package I'm looking for included 3-5 pieces of software, of which the EAX console was one. Creative WAV studio was another. I don't recall the others.
    Namely, I'm trying to find the components that allow me to record "what u hear" speaker output, as I hear it, and additionally reroute speaker output as line-in/mic input.
    The BadBoy iso backup links don't resolve any more, not sure where else to find these.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The EAX Console is something that's bundled in Audigy cards.
    Which X-Fi card do you have exactly, SB X-Fi XtremeGamer?

  • "what u hear" available but not working (vista)

    okay so i just upgraded my x-fi drivers to the latest release and the "what u hear" recording option became available... only problem is it doesn't function as it's supposed to, i.e. it's not receiving the audio signal from the output, so when i go to record i get nothing... i have it activated in the sound options and i have it selected as the recording source... what do i have to do to get it functioning? [email protected]

    coldpenguin,
    I can't recall much info for the Audigy but see if the option is listed in the properties setting. Open sounds and audio devices and go to audio tab. Click at Volume button of the 'Sound Recording' column. Now click on Options->Properties. Do you have that option listed?

  • G530 (4446) wireless lan problem on Windows Vista 32bit without AC

    I have  new G530 lenovo laptop with the following problem
    After I have enabled the wireless driver (pressing Fn+F5) and moving the switch in front of the laptop, the wireless led is blinking BUT, I can't find any wireless networks. When diagnosing the problem with windows vista,it tells me that the wireless should be turned on.
    Of course, it is ON. After I have reinstalled the wireless driver again from your the support site, the problem disappeared, but reappeared after a couple of days.
    I do not use Access Connections. I have Uninstalled it since I don't need it
    I have seen this problem on several sites when I googled for a solution.
    I need a deterministic solution:
    a. What drivers should I update?
    b. In which order should I update them?
    c. What configuration should I change from their default?
    d. What causes this problem and can I prevent it from happening (like- don't go to standby but just to hibernate state)?
    Thanks

    Hey, guys.
    I just discovered that the computer had no issue at all.
    The problem was with me.
    Somehow I managed to disable the wireless network.
    I just typed Fn+ F5 and reactivated it.
