X-Fi recording trouble, Re: "What U Hear" and MIDI

Hey there--
I just got a new computer, an HP with Windows 7. I had it come with an X-Fi, because that was what I had in my previous computer (also an HP, but that with Vista). I am 90% sure it's an X-Fi X-Tremegamer, but I cannot recall how to check that.
Anyway, on my old computer, in Audio Creation Mode, there was an option for recording called "What U Hear". I used that to record midi from a Midi transcription program I have. I could hit record in Audio Creation Mode, then play the midi on my midi program, and it would record perfectly as a wave.
On my new computer, while the software all seemed the same at first, I just discovered that the "What U Hear" option is gone. I can only chose from "Line In" and "Digital In".
Is there any way to get "What U Hear" back? And if not, is there any other way I can record Midi on the X-Fi?
Thanks.

I am having the same issues with my new Dell. I do not see stereo Mix or What you hear. I play alot of music over the web in chatrooms. how do i get the new drivers so i can see what you here?
Thanks

  • What u hear and microphone at the same ti

    Hey,
    I am planning on broadcasting some video and audio with my commentary online, but can't seem to find a solution to my problem.
    In order to do it'sI need to talk and send out the audio from my computer. But it is impossible since I can't choose "What U hear" and microphone under sound options in vista at the same time.
    Anyone knows how to fix it's
    I have a X-fi Xtrememusic.
    Thanks

    The new X-Fi cards have both What U Hear and the microphone enabled at the same time. It makes for a good card to stream with if you have a decent mic.
    If Mike knew anything he would also know that for streaming you need both What U Hear..and the mic enabled at the same time so you can stream though What U hear and use the mic without switching back and forth.
    The older cards do NOT have this feature making it very difficult to stream music while having the microphone function correctly.

  • Creative X-Fi recorder from "what you hear" and splitting tra

    Hi,
    I used to be able to record minutes of music or sound and be able to split this saved file with the splitting option of Smart Recorder. I now have installed a new sound card X-Fi and want to do the same but cannot find where I need to look. Does this new software for X-Fi offer that or not anymore?
    thanks,
    Luke

    I have the software from the CD installed, as I stated earlier, the "What You Hear" option is only missing if you do a CLEAN install of the drivers from the Windows Update. That is?to say if you install the drivers from Microsoft's website with no other X-Fi driver installed on your system.
    If you installed the update over a previous version of the drivers, then the "What You Hear" option remains available.
    I checked this three times by doing a clean install from the Windows Update and then installing the other driver from Creative?s website.
    All three times I deleted the X-Fi driver from my system, then installed the one directly from the Windows Update. I would check my record settings and could not find the "What You Hear" option. I would then install the driver from Creative?s website and checked the settings again and the ?What You Hear? option was available.
    If you just installed the Windows Update driver over the one previously on your system without first deleting it, then yes, you should have the "What You Hear" option.
    I also could not get the "What You Hear" recording option in any software application that previously had it (ie, Adobe Audition, Sony Sound Forge) until I installed the driver form the Creative website.

    I cannot stop what I hear from going through my Micon Ventrilo. We use Ventrilo to game with and everything I hear in the game is played through my Mic when I hit my push to talk key.

    Open up the (Surround) Mixer, and set your recording source, the red slider, to <EM>Microphone</EM>. It sounds like it's currently set to <EM>What U Hear.</EM>

    I have X-Fi Xtreme Music, latest drivers, Windows XP SP2. When I save sound through "What U Hear" into WAV-file, all going OK before I try to save stereo WAV-file with 24 bit and 96 KHz. When I save stereo 24 bit 96 KHz file, I receive empty WAV file with straight line, no sound. In any other settings all working perfectly (even in mono 24/96), but I want maximum quality and can't got it Message Edited by Twinsen on 09-2-2006 02:35 PMMessage Edited by Twinsen on 09-2-2006 02:35 PM

    What're you using to save the wave file? Mebbe the application doesn't understand 96 kHz wave data?
    Does the problem occur if you save to wave at 96 kHz with Mediasource player?

  • Im having trouble with " what u hear "

    I dont have " What u Here " turned on but when I record with Cubase SX3 its picking up everything on the computer as well as the instrument or what have you. I played with the button but I cant figure it out. Can someone help ?

    This is a pain until you learn the quirks... You see the little down arrow... by selecting will determine what you are controlling...
    I have this set to mute (below the slider) but make sure Microphone selected... When I get home I will double check but play with those settings

  • Any way to set recording source as "What You Hear"?

    Just wondering. I used to have this in WIndows. Didn't get input from line or mic, but whatever was going out to the speakers. This is nice for using "Tape Deck" to grab Web radio snippets on the fly. Of course, it's recording from the builtin mic but that gets all the background noise too.
    Thanks
    Tim

    Tim,
    What you're looking for is some audio capturing software. Audio Hi-Jack is one that comes to mind. Whatever is available can be found on Versiontracker.com.

  • "What you hear" in Windows Vi

    I have an HP Pavilion with Vista installed (and Realtec audio) and just got Soundblaster USB (model SB0490) with the Vista drivers. What I can't get this to do is to be able to hear what I am trying to record. For instance line-in is from my radio, currently on, output is headphones. USB connected, nothing is muted, volume is turned up. It will record off of the radio and play it back which is hearable. Its just I can't hear it when recording - i.e., no simultaneous playback. In any of the configuration screens such as the simple mixer panel etc. there are no buttons to enable/disable "simultaneous playback"
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Casey Burns

    go to control panel, sound and recording, click on "What U Hear" and choose disable.
    if the device disappears and you want to reenable it, click on a blank area in the box and choose "show disabled devices".

  • Using Analog 2 or "What You Hear" for stereo recording

    I'm recording sound bites from tv shows and movies to my Audigy 2 Platinum by using the front-panel's Analog 2 by plugging in the left and right channels for the audio.
    When I record directly from Anolog 2, the sound is real low, but If I record from the "What you hear" option, it comes out a lot louder.
    Is there any difference in how the audio is being formatted during it's recording by weather or not if I use Analog 2 or "What you hear"? Like in surround sound? Will I get surround sound quality from either Analog 2 or "What you hear"?

    This low signal can be caused by wrong connection impedance or voltage, BUT also
    Have you already tried by setting
    - Source level to max (eg. Analog 2 in this case) on Surround Mixer and checked it equals on Windows Mixer (Control Panel_Sounds and Multimedia_Audio tab: Volume on both Play)
    - Rec level too (on both as above /Rec)
    I think you can't record surround directly using 1 stereo microphone/source.

  • Can't get "What you hear" recording source to wo

    I am using a SB Audigy 2 ZS platinum (sb0350p). There is no sound recorded when I try to record from the What you hear source.
    I've tried to increase the volume in my advanced settings with no luck. It's if it is muted. I havn't checked any onter line in yet.
    Any ideas?

    Fireryan,
    The setup depends on your input and output sources. In the Creative mixer, unmute (enable) a source such as the microphone or Line-In and slide up the volume. If you're using a microphone, unmute that line and click on the red X and check +20dB boost. Also, click the red X over the "Master Control" and make sure you don't have digital output selected (unless that's what you want.)

  • 0404 USB - Record "What U Hear" / from WAV / AVI etc...

    Hi, on any dinky onboard soundcard you can easily internally record the audio from a video file being played back with programs like soundforge.
    But apparently, on my $260 EMU 0404, the task is nearly impossible.
    I've read that "Patchmix" will do the trick, but the program will not install, citing that "Setup has not found any supported hardware."
    Does anyone know how to get around this? Emu told me I have to set my recording destination to "Wave L/R" but there is no Wave L/R available, just Analog A/B and SPDIF.
    Thanks an advanced,
    EDIT:
    Is "Patchmix" only for PCI versions of the 0404?

  • [WIN7] Enable Microphone and "What U Hear" at the same time?

    Hey folks!
    I am trying to enable both at the same time on my Windows 7 in order to record Battlefield 2 and my own voice at the same time.
    Please do NOT start with "do this and that", I have tried everything for at least 1 year by now and the only way to make it work is to have microphone and "What U Hear" enabled. Apparently it is not possible. In order to activate one of both you have to make it "Default" record device but then the other device gets disabled. Trying to record the disabled device obviously ends up in silence.
    What is the reason for that and how to enable BOTH devices at the same time?
    I am using PAX Drivers which the maker always updates to the latest Creative Drivers. So I am up to date.
    Thank you a lot in advance.

    Thank you for your reply.
    Well, yes, the microphone is activated. And if I put the microphone playback volume to 100 I can hear myself talk even with "What U Hear" as my default recotding device. But once battlefield 2 starts it uses the default recording device for the in-game voice over IP. If I select "what U hear" as the default device it will basically put the game sound into the VOIP...
    What I tried was - set microphone as default device, launch BF2 so it registers the microphone as VOIP input, then alt tab out, select What U Hear as default device but it does not get activated! I only see a bar at the microphone.
    What I want is to be able to have TWO volume bars, in What U Hear AND Microphone so I can use the microphone for BF2 and What U Hear as gameplay-sound for my recording device.
    In Windows XP this was possible. In Windows 7 this is missing.
    The problem here is that once a recording device (the Default one usually) is being used by a program it BLOCKS the other recording devices.

  • 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.

  • What U Hear sta

    I've got an X-FI ExtremeMusic running Windows Vista x64. I recently installed the May 30th drivers from Creative and now whenever I record from "What U Hear," the sound is extremely distorted and crackly. The volume level is fine, but the sound has a persistent skipping pulsating thing to it.
    Here's a link to what it sounds like if I record silence from "What U Hear":?http://rapidshare.com/files/4057339/Skipping.wav.html?This problem occurs no matter what program I use to record (Audacity, Soundbooth, Audition, etc...)?What's the deal?P.S. I had the same May 30th drivers installed before, but for some odd reason I needed to reinstall them. First thing I noticed was that there was a new "Sound Blaster" tab in the device properties and the icon for the Audio Console changed. Before yesterday, everything worked fine. I haven't made any changes to my system, either. Edit: Oh yes, and thanks, Creative, my system no longer wants to reboot or shut down with these drivers installed.Message Edited by Locust76 on 07-02-200705:2 AM
    Message Edited by Locust76 on 07-02-200705:2 AM

    Nevermind, I managed to fix my own problem. The May 30th drivers are absolute garbage. I found the May 24th drivers on Softpedia.com and installed those with no problem.

  • "What U Hear" Capable/Uncapable Car

    ?I am curious as to which Sound Blaster Cards allow for the function of the "What U Hear" recording option. The two cards that i've owned with this capability are the:SB Li've! 5.SB Audigy Gamer?I've heard the SB Audigy 2 and 4 have this capability as well. However the SB Audigy cards included in laptops such as the Dell XPS M20 do not have the option for "What U Hear". The External MP3+ didn't have this capability either. Do the PCMCIA cards have this option? Does the Xi-Fi have "What U Hear"? Is Creative slowly getting away from the "What U Hear" with?new and future?products? And i'm wondering if it is just the driver that is restricting these "other" integrated audigy, external cards the ability to use "What U Hear" and whether Creative is able to write drivers for them that will work. Or whether these soundcards just weren't build to support it. Are there also any other brands of SoundCards that support recording what you hear from the speakers? Such as M-Audio's Revolution 7. Or other brands?Thanks,Ryan

    A similar feature has been around ever since the SoundBlaster 6 Vibra (oldest I recall, but even the AWE32 could "record itself"), although the on-board mixer was part analog, part digital.
    In any case, AC'97 cards usually have a "Wave out mix" or "Stereo out mix" which is the equivalent to "what you hear", and some have a "Mono out mix" as well, although I have no idea who could find that useful.
    The mixers on modern cards, even on onboards/codecs operate entirely on digital data, so at least mixing "internal" sources like CD (DAE mode), MIDI an WAVE playback is not subject to analog noise. If you use analog sources too (line in, aux in, mic in etc.) then you must factor in any noise these may carry.
    The quality of the digital mixing may also vary: some perform 24-bit or better precision mixing internally, regardless of the output format, while other may handle different sample rates in very different manners (from simple "value hold" to sinc interpolation). In any case, you DO get some form of "what you hear".
