Audigy 2NX Recording Issu

I am using the Audigy 2NX Sound Blaster to record voice recordings used for a training demo. I have tried recording and saving as both wav and Mp3. For some reason the recording sounds like there is small echo. To be more specific, it sounds like a PA system used in a huge auditorium, where there sounds to be a lot of 'background' noise. I have tried recording in different rooms, especially where there is little or no air movement, but no luck. Is there anything else I can try with the system? Thanks!

Is recording source set to "What U Hear"? Don't use this but set it by the source.
Also, check that EAX effects and CMSS are disabled (if NX has these features available).
If you can, switch to proper recording software which supports ASIO or Kernel Streaming device driver mode (IIRC, NX supports ASIO and if not then Asio4All is the way to go). Especially ASIO is good for recording work. There are plenty of these even as freeware.

Audigy 2NX USB and PCMCIA 2ZS compatibil

Currently I use an Audigy 2NX USB with my laptop. I will install the Audigy PCMCIA notebook card on the same laptop. With the USB 2NX, when it is powered off, the laptop automatically configures itself to use the internal (motherboard) sound card.
() My understand is that with the 2ZS PCMCIA card, you need to physically remove the card (e.g. "Safely Remove Hardware") to revert to the internal sound-card speakers. Is that correct?
(2) PCMCIA 2ZS comes with the Smart Recorder application. Can that application be also be used with the USB 2NX card enabled (and with the PCMCIA card removed) ?

I have an Audigy 2 NX myself, and I found it works best off of a direct root usb port (not off a hub). The problem is that on most computers 2 USB ports share hub. Which is why you are having that comflict.
My conflict doesn't happen there, it was on the mouse at first, now it's on an external IDE Adapter i'm using.
All I do is unplug the IDE adaptor when it stops working, waiting a few seconds, then plugging it back in.
So what I suggest is to do like I did, and switch what ports things are plugged into until it's something that can plug & unplug with no real issues.
Why this happens, in opinion, is that there just isn't enough power getting to all the usb ports when there's alot of stuff plugged into them. My limit seems to be 7 items, even though most of them are lower power stuff, mouse, joysticks. I do have a 3.5" hd in a case, which is self powered, and the ide adaptor which is self powered, and the audigy 2 nx, which is, as you know, self powered. I can plug another item in, but anymore after that will knock my ide adaptor. and i still have usb ports i'm not even using. oh, the joysticks are on a hub which is where I usually plug another item in, either my mp3 player or thumbdri've.
I think it most likely an electric problem, and that it only affects people with faulty usb componets or something. I haven't heard of it being widespread or specific chipset/usb controller problem. Can't think of anything else it could be, but i'm not an electrition.
Sorry i could be of much help, but maybe you can at least make it less of a bother to deal with.
good luck

Audigy 2NX USB Root Hub Prob

Hopefully someone here will have some suggestions to help resolve my issue.
I have fi've USB Root Hubs on my computer; the USB system is 2.0
Only two of those hubs are in use. One hosts my Canon scanner.
The other hosts every other USB device on my system.
That in itself is an issue, but because not all of my USB devices are in use simultaneously, it hasn't previously been an issue.
Now, however, it has become one.
Both my Audigy 2NX and a four-port self-powered USB 2.0 hub are on one USB Root Hub. The four port hub has my two printers connected to it.
The issue is that when I use my laserjet printer, it disables the Audigy 2NX. The Audigy normally comes back up after the printer has gone back into sleep mode.
However, if I am playing a game when the printer is used (I share it on a wireless home network) it disables the Audigy and it can only be brought back up by restarting the computer.
I think it is one of two issues;
. The four port hub with the printers on it cannot share a root hub with the Audigy 2NX; when the laserjet comes out of sleep mode, it uses all of the bandwidth on that root hub and disconnects the Audigy.
2. A recent driver update to the Audigy is conflicting somehow with the printer.
I might also be tempted to think it was a power supply issue if I didn't have a robust 650 watt PSU on my system.
To try to get the two devices on separate root hubs, I turned off my computer and disconnected all of my USB devices. Then I connected one at a time, powering down in between connections.
The device assignment remained the same.
My next step is to uninstall the Audigy 2NX completely from my system, and then re-install from the base drivers.
My question is; does anyone know how to force devices to install to a specific and/or different root hub outside of their physical connection? An .ini edit or perhaps a driver edit's
Thanks in advance for any help.

Control record issue !

Hi All,
I am handling UK Payroll and got an issues related to payroll run and control record,
Issue 1: The payroll driver (RPCALCG0) has skipped around 1500 Employees against payroll run for particular period
Issue 2: How control record allowed user to Exit control record for period in which EE's skipped in payroll
Please provide your valuable suggesting in regard to resolve the above two issues,
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Devendra Reddy D.

Hi,
Issue 1: The payroll driver (RPCALCG0) has skipped around 1500 Employees against payroll run for particular period
Say you want to run payroll for FEB..
But payroll control record may not be in FEB... It may be in March..
Issue 2: How control record allowed user to Exit control record for period in which EE's skipped in payroll
Payroll control record may have been deleted on the month of Jan..& been set in Release mode in March month directly...
So feb month gets skipped & Exit mode in Feb is skipped too...
For detailed info.. Go to PA03 enter payroll ares & click display option..
Under Go To tab.. look for Control Record Log..

Soundbooth CS4 MacBook Line In Recording Issue

I have looked through all the forums and not found a working solution to my problem.
After recent complete re-install of both OS X and my entire Adobe Suite, I am no longer able to record in SouthBooth using the Line In option.
It ALWAYS continues to record the built in microphone.
I have gone into the OS X Preferences and set Line In as Input Device and it detects and responds just fine.
In SoundBooth I open the Preferences and select the Line In option as well and designate it in the recording pop up window too. But still, it records the built in microphone.
It didn't do this before. Everything used to work properly. So I am curious if something went foul when installing SoundBooth and if I should re-install it? Or is there a known update / patch that addresses recording issues?
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and SoundBooth CS4 2.0.1
Thanks for any help you all have!

try muting the built in mic.

Audigy 2NX - problems with update because of missing softw

Hello,?i bought an Audigy 2NX. As I learned there should be some softwarewith. I didn't get this. Trying to get an update create an error becauseof missing original software. Is there any possibility to get this software for my Audigy 2NX?kind regardshelmut

You can get the original installation CD here (link below):?Scroll down to find your sound device "Audigy 2 NX". Note : This download is in rar format. you must use "WinRAR" to unzip it. Also, once you unzip it, it will create a ISO file, you must burn the ISO file to CD, using burning software, such as, Nero or Roxio.

Lunte,
The Extigy is an older product, so you might not be able to get that easily.
What are your needs exactly? Is it only to play audio, or other things aswell? Have you considered the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (it fits into a PCMCIA slot)?

Sound Blaster Audigy 2NX: Right Channel Goes out Intermitten

In tears trying to figure this on out. My right channel goes out fairly regularly. For example, the sound will work great for a while and sound just awesome. I leave my desk overnight and when I come back, only the left channel produces sound. I?ve double checked all the balances (winamp, Creative, Windows) and they are all balanced. Besides, the right channel will come back on its on from time to time as well.
Before you all assume it'ss the speakers, I?ve tested this with a different pair of speakers and found the same. Also, if the channel is out, I can always get it to come back by switching to the primary laptop driver, playing a song for awhile and then switching back to the NX driver.
I?ve reinstalled the drivers (cleanly), updates the bios, downloaded DirectX and uploaded the firmware and drivers off of the Creative auto-update site. It seems something?s wrong with the drivers, but I can't figure what.

Has anyone else seen this problem or have any suggestions. Again, I?ve done a complete uninstall of the SB drivers and reinstall twice now.
I am running a pair of Cambridge Soundworks 2. speakers off of the external SB Audigy 2NX out of a Toshiba Tecra. I have a Pentium M 700 process or and 52 RAM.

Thanks all,
Scott

Audigy 2NX - drop down menu panel suddenly gone

When I installed my Audigy 2NX external USB Sound Blaster last week, the installation software set up a menu panel that would drop down from the top of the desktop when I ran my mouse up to the top of the desktop screen. The menu panel was veryhand and had in it all the various Audigy tools (mixer, speaker settings, equalizer, player, wave studio, EAX console, etc.). When I booted up the computer today, that drop down menu panel was gone & rebooting did not bring it back. How do I get it back without dleting and then reinstalling the whole software package...
Thanks,

X64 NO MIC. Audigy 4 Codec issue? Teamspeak being us

Hello,

 Ok here it is this is what I'm running.
x64 windows xp pro
audigy 4
asus MB
A8N-SLI Deluxe 939
I use Team Speak for gaming purpose. 

 The other night as I was playing I noticed my mic stopped working. I tried numerous mics. No dice. 
I tried recording no dice. It seems like the SB just doesn?t see the mic. I did some googlein and found numerous topics about the same issue without a fix. I tracked it down to a CELP codec. I know about the mic record btn and all that. I never changed the settings. Just stopped working. 

 This has happen before but an update or a reboot fixed the issue. 

But this time is an issue. 
 The sound is terrible when using Team speak. . This has got to be a codec issue. Can somebody please help me on locating the codec?s for Team speak? From what I read this is an ongoing issue with the Audigy and Team speak..
 Not on all systems.

Thanks for your time
Russ

It is Vista. Doesn't support games that use hardware accelerated surround sound. Try to use the Alchemy software provided by Creative (for a fee for Audigy users, for free for X-Fi ones) if your games are on the ones that are supported - the ones that uses DirectX for sound.Unfortunately Half-Life2 uses a proprietary sound system and is not supported. The link is http://www.soundblaster.com/alchemy/ Warning: STUPIDLY long waiting time till all the stuff on that page is loading! The games that use OpenAL don't need Alchemy, will work fine under Vista.

Multiple User Accessing the same record issue

I am planning to design an app where we have the following use case requirement.
If a user who is logged into the system is accessing a record(plan in this case) anyone else who is logged into the system at the same time should be locked out of that same plan but should still be able to access other plans in the system. A plan has many things associated with it so the 2nd user should be locked out of everything associated to the plan being accessed by the first user.
What is the best way to implement this at the application or the database level?
Here are some options we have been bouncing around.
1. When the first user logs in and accesses the first plan we lock the plan at the app level using a singleton class which has one and only one instance on the app server. The plan_id can be put as an entry into a hashtable which can be in the session and is created if one does not exist. When the 2nd user tries to access the same plan, since the plan_id is still in the hashtable he would be locked out. However we somehow need to timeout the first user after 30 mts of inactivity or so so that others can access the plan and are not locked out for ever if the first user walks away from his PC or does not close his browser, thus keeping his session alive indefinitely.
2. In the database in the plan table we add a column for 'locked'. When the first entry is created in the plan table locked column is marked as 'yes' or 1 and when the user closes the browser we use some javascript to trigger an event which changes that 'yes' or 1 to 'no' or 0 thus unlocking the plan. However the big issue we see in this concept is that we will have to put a javascript onUnload method in all jsp pages in the app because the user could be anywhere in the app after starting his plan access after login.
Conceptually the 2 options are the same but one is done at the app whereas the other is at the database level.
Is there a better way to handle this scenario using transactions or some other technological option.
Thanks

Another solution involving no modification of the database structure:
As soon as a user want to access a plan, try to UPDATE the plan record... if it fails, the record was locked
by another user before. When the user has finished with the plan, you can COMMIT or ROLLBACK the changes, which will free the lock for other users.
An advantage of this solution is that if program crashes unexpectedly, there will automatically be a ROLLBACK.
Of course, you need a transaction for this... and perhaps more if you want to separate the 'locking transaction' (virtual update just for restricting access) from the 'operating transaction' (in which you will
do the DB stuff: inserts, updates, deletes, etc.)
Hope this helped,
Regards.

Audigy 4 Microphone Issue, He

I recently purchased an Audigy 4 Sound Card. My headset was a logitech; it worked fine right up until I installed the Audigy 4. Now I've got awesome sound, but cannot record; or talk in my Teamspeak. I've done all the normal checks in making sure my card was selected in Teamspeak and making sure that my microphone is not muted. I then purchased another headset, A eDimensional Audio FX with force feed back. This thing is killer, but guess what, no microphone there either. I can take both headsets and hook them up to my older computer and it works fine. I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed all the lastest drivers and still no go.
I can even take a regular "stick" microphone and plug it into the new sound card and voice recording works fine. Now here comes the stupid question:
There are two hookups on the new headset...one USB and the other end has the regular twin plugs for speakers and microphone. Should my headset be listed in the properties under, control panel, sound and audio? Because if its supposed to be there it aint.
God I hope someone can help me with this....this is driving me absolutely insane.
Thanks!
SHOTGUN

Applications can change the recording source by themselves. Some games which expect the microphone to be plugged into the first microphone jack on the card will by default change the recording source to vanilla "mic."
There's currently no way to lock the recording source at the moment.
