  • Please help. How can i get my mic to work??

    + Hi all
    I have a creative inspire 5. 5700 hooked up to my X-FI extreme music via Digital I/O port.
    However im a bit pissed off because i cant get a microphone to work, it seems that the port i use my speakers for is the same port as the microphone..
    Any ideas how to get my mic to work without unplugging the digital I/O?
    Cheers

    /Re: Please help. How can i get my mic to work? The only solution that I can think of is to get the?X-Fi I/O Dri've. Unfortunately, Creative does not sell this anymore on their store. You can buy it online, though most places I find it at, it is refurbished.
    This is what it looks like: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...5&product=4659#
    The other alternati've is the X-Fi I/O Console. This, however is rather expensi've (I think it is anyways).

    Unfortunately those are the only ways I know of. The X-Fi Xtreme Music does not hook into normal front panel solutions.

  • HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC - Can't get internal mic to shut off or sync with webcam

    I'm not really sure what happened. I was trying out my headset with inline mic on my PC and it didn't work the only thing that worked was my internal mic. I did disable my internal mic at one point but turned it back on when I realized that didn't make it work either so I promptly turned my internal mic back on. However, now I am left with hearing myself type and the outside noises even hearing instantly the curses I use at my computer. I can turn the volume down and not hear anything, but when I try and record a video I can't hear myself at all; the mic isn't recordng me and the webcam video is laggy. (the listen back button is unchecked) but when I check the listen back button I can hear me type and I can hear myself on the recorded video.
    Basically, I just want my computer to work how it did before I tried to get my headset mic to work.

    Hello eerilyquiet,
    I would like for you to use Recovery Manger to restore your software and drivers.  Please let me know if these troubleshooting steps help resolve your issue.
    Good luck!

  • Audigy 2zs notebook - Can hear but NOT record effect of Graphic Equalizer

    Dear people,
    Audigy 2zs notebook card, using with sonar-le to record (and also with Audacity).
    I can record all I play with my soft synths, and mic voice, perfectly. Various tracks simultneously.
    Playback is also great.
    I use sonar-le in Asio 2-Mode, and MME and all works good.
    HOWEVER, I bring up the Creative equalizer, and I enable it, it makes a NOTORIOUS difference.. I can enable it while I am recording, before, or after.
    So I record a track as usual, but I enable the equalizer, and I am FINDING-OUT that I can not seem to be able to RECORD the effect of the creative EQUALIZER!
    Even though I can hear it in and out, big difference, the track recorded wave continues to record as if it does not see the equalizer at all.
    I have tried all available inputs and many many things, but I just can not get the eq. effects to RECORD.
    I have two speakers connected to the dongle that attaches to the notebook card... I have also tried using headphones, directly connected to card, and all I can think. I tried also mme mode.
    I also tried audacity and same. Can't get the recording to be like what I hear with the headphones.
    Why would this be? How can I solve the problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    Whoops!? That sequencer/recording application "Cubasis VST 4" comes packaged with Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro but not with the Notebook soundcard. A similar product Cubasis LE comes with X-Fi Elite Pro.
    I haven't seen any details of the internal layout/architecture of the sound card, but I don't think that would help you in terms of some new configurations for recording.
    In terms of recording capability, since there is only one input port with the NOtebook card, you are of course fairly limited in terms of connectivity, unless you have an external mixer (if you are talking about recording two things at the same time).
    However, the audio quality of the Notebook card is certainly good enough to record very good quality audio with S/N, THD etc. My opinion is that people spend way too much time fussing about specs, noise etc. where in reality, most external transducers (mics, guitars etc.) always limit the recorded quality (unless you have really good professional recording gear and you have a lot of experience.
    I've heard outstanding quality recorded music made on recording gear with much poorer specs than the Notebook card.
    Best thing with your Notebook card is do what you've been doing. Use it and experiment and concentrate on the music generation itself.
    Thanks for the reply!
    I gather that the application may not be downloadable, specially if it is third-party. I do have the Synth effect, though that I can plug into Sonar.. I like the hardware enabled effects, though, specially since my music playing/recording system is a little complex.
    Yes, I do have external hardware mixers, and though there is only the mic/line input, that's not too bad since this card has MANY internal inputs and outputs that I DO USE. All? of my instruments and music is now software based..Only the Mic is external. That's why the hardware synth of the 2zs laptop is so attracti've.. It does not bear on cpu or data... That's why I asked about architecture info orient myself.
    Also, I may be wrong, but I read that many of the hardware capabilities of the 2zs notebook card are no longer there on the newer cards... That effects and other things are now mostly software based? Is that so?...Can I use two cards on the laptop, the 2 zs and the express slot one simultneously and have more inputs/outputs?
    I am still interested in all practical possibilities, and I do like the Creative soundcards.
    The great thig is that you told me that the Eq can not be recorded, so that's very important to me.. I can still record it, though out into a second laptop via the headphone jack. But I will try the VST's I have here first and see how they feel and sound.
    It really amazes me, though, that I can hear the effect, but there's no way to record it.
    Maybe a new driver could do it's
    Thanks and best wishes!

  • Audigy 4 Pro - can only get 2 channel sound via SPDIF/optical connecti

    I have two PC's, one with an Audigy 4 Pro and one with an Audigy 2 Platinum (A2P), I have my 5. speakers hooked up to the A2P and the A4P connected via the SPDIF to the A2P, I would expect to get 5. - both are setup to use 5. speakers, (I know that as a standard Digital coax/optical connections should handle multi speaker configs my entire A/V sound system (7. Dolby) uses optical and coax and it works fine).
    If I run the channel test on the Audigy 4 I can get nothing but sound through the left and right speakers, if I run the test on the Audigy 2 (speakers direct connected) the sound is fine, if I reconnect the speakers to my Audigy 4 I get sound on all speakers so it looks like its an issue with the SPDIF and optical inputs (I tried both).
    I have emailed tech support, I'm waiting for them to come back and tell me that the Audigy 4 cannot transmit more than two channels down the SPDIF/optical outs, thats my suspicion anyway, if that is the case then I'm not going to be a happy man and the Audigy will be going back to the store. Could be a driver problem of course as I cant believe they would implement Dolby and THX and only transmit two channels on the optical outs, that would be a bit dumb considering the primary use for digital connections is sound system interconnects.
    Anyone with any ideas about this let me know, perhaps theres a hidden setting somewhere or a registry setting that switches the digital outs to carry all signals.

    Just before everyone kicks off, heres a response I got from a tech guy at Creative themselves.
    If you connect speakers to your sound card using a digital cable
    (RCA/SPDIF or optical) then the software speaker test will only output
    from two speakers. The reason for this is that the speaker test signal is
    not in AC3 nor DTS format.
    The signal on a digital connection is either
    Optical SPDIF - which is either Stereo PCM signal or AC-3/DTS Bitstream
    RCA SPDIF - which is either Stereo PCM signal or AC-3/DTS Bitstream
    If you play AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS encoded signals, the amplifier
    decodes this and outputs it to all 6 speakers (5 satellites & subwoofer)
    discretely.
    When playing back stereo signals (such as Wav/CD Audio or MP3/WMA files)
    the amplifier may generate 5. output based on the incoming stereo PCM
    signal, provided Dolby Pro Logic decoding is available and activated.
    Therefore the speaker test should not be relied on when using RCA or
    Optical digital connections.
    This applies to all speaker systems equipped with RCA or Optical digital
    connections.
    This makes sense to me and I'm pretty happy with it, basically as the reply says above the speaker test does not encode to AC3 hence if you hook two Audigys together and run the test you only get 2 channel output, if you play a DVD which is AC3/DTS encoded on one Audigy and listen to speakers hooked up to the other when both Audigys are connected via SPDIF or optical you should in theory get full playback on all speakers. Hopefully
    Cheers

  • Can't get Samson Mic (C01U0) to work with Premiere 12 (Mac)

    Can't get my Samson C01U mic to work with Adobe Premiere Elements 12 (Mac). It keeps saying "Your current hardware audio selection does not have any input chanel" I've tried everything , please help

    bfrazier88
    As always, strictly an Elements Windows person here.
    In the Premiere Elements Windows world USB microphone are rarely if ever supported. What type of microphone is your
    Samson C01U? A Google search seems to say that it is the USB type.
    That may or may not be the case in the Mac experience.
    Also, in your Premiere Elements 12 Mac system, do you have Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware with its ASIO tab under which are Input and Output tab/settings or the counterpart of those settings in Mac?
    The forum moderator Steve Grisetti used Premiere Elements Mac so perhaps he can steer us in the right direction on finding the core of your Premiere Elements Mac audio issue.
    Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
    More later.

  • My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

    Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
    The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
    In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
    I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
    But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
    Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
    please help, thx.

    If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
    Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
    Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    Another option:
    Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
    --> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
    = You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

  • How can I get my mic working?

    My internal microphone isnt working and when i make a video the little bit of sound is off from the picture

    Can you go back to a prior System Restore point?
    Control Panel/System/System Protection (upper left)/select System Protection then System Restore.
    It might even list the deletion episode date.
    Or you can just manually re-install the Boot Camp driver for the mic from the BC folder on the drive you installed it on the first time.
    I haven't found where you can have Windows check for hardware like you can in XP to let Windows find the Mic hardware to let it install the drivers again.

  • Can't get Mic to work in Ventrilo

    ! OS:?? Windows XP SP3
    Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatalty
    Headset:? Sennheiser PC-350
    Creative driver:? 2.8.003
    Ventrilo version: 3.0.5
    Problem:
    I'm using the I/O Dri've front panel to plug in my headset. The mic works in Windows - I can record my voice. But I can't get the mic to work in Ventrilo. I've tried various options, and I am using Line-In 2/Mic 2 as the input source but still no go.
    Any help? Thanks.

    % Yes Ventrilo has an option to select Input source, which I've done as Mic 2. Doing the 'Monitor' test it scrolls values in the right window in response to my voice, so it does seem to "hear" me. (But doing the 'Test' does nothing - not sure what I'm supposed to see there...)
    There's gotta be something I'm missing I just don't know what. Thanks.

  • Help getting my headset/mic to work with my Audigy 2 ZS I/O

    Hi,
    I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with the external I/O dri've. I am trying to plug my headset/mic into my external I/O dri've, however I can't get the microphone to work. I have used the headset/mic with my other computer without any problems, so I know it is working. There has got to be a problem with the I/O connections or the way I have set up the Audigy 2 ZS.
    Here are the connections I have made:
    Headset speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub headset port --- Works great.
    Mic speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub Line /Mic In port --- Doesn't work.
    I have tried talking to a friend using Skype as well as using the Windows XP Sound Test Wizard, neither once picks up my voice from the mic.
    Thanks for the help, I am at my wits end with this thing.

    Thanks,
    JD
    Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
    Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
    W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

  • I can't get my headset mic to work when using team speak anyone help ?

    hi i am playing WOW in my windows partition, but cant get the mic to work in a program called teamspeak i know i works ok as it's ok on my dell laptop, i can hear ok. it's not just in that game , i have tried to record, but it keeps telling me mic not connected, are there settings i need to change in the sound software to get it to work  ?

    ykaldes,
    Unfortunatly, the Mac requires that your mic source have a pre-amp in line with it. There are several that you can find online.
    That or you need to use a USB mic (such as you might find on a USB headset). Personally, I use a USB mic...
    I believe Apple did this so that your computer would be able to take feeds from musical instruments or 'professional' sound equipment.

  • Need help getting Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic to work

    greetings.
    i am using a Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic along with an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, and i cannot for the life of me get my laptop to recognize audio coming from the mic. the mic switch on the cord is on, and the status light is lit up, and i can even hear my voice from the mic in the headphones, but the audio is not being inputted into the computer. i'm using winxp pro and have played around with all the audio settings in control panel with no luck. any suggestions? i thank you in advance for your time and consideration. take care.
    regards,
    jps

    Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
    They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

  • Can't get creative hs-300 microphone headset to work(total newbie)

    Alright, I'm not very experienced in this, and probably my computer that's set up right for this. But here goes
    I've bought the creative hs-300 microphone headset so that I could talk with a friend of mine. But it won't work. I can easily hear him, but we both get an echo of what he's saying, like my microphone takes whatever I hear on my headphones and send it back to him.
    Also, when I get a msn message while testing my microphone in the msn guide, it detects the sound as me talking into the microphone, and thinks everything is ok, which it obviously isn't.
    I've also tried just about everything in controle panel -> sound settings, ticking only microphone in recording, but nothing seems to do the trick.
    Some hardware info: ATI WDM Rage Theater Video placed on Sapphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis
    The standard unit when selecting microphone and speaker in the guide to audio interaction is SigmaTel C-Major Audio.
    Would appreciate any help that I can get, as I would really like for this to work.
    Thanks.
