Audigy SE - recording sourc

Afternoon all,
Just a quick question: if I buy an Audigy SE card, will I be able to record from the WAV sound source? What I mean is, if I'm streaming from a radio show over the net, on my PC with an X-FI Elite pro, I can record bits as .wav's or whatever. In a different PC with only onboard sound, there is no option to record from anything other than the MIC, or Line-in port.
With the Audigy SE, will I be able to record like that?
Thanks for your help,
Dave

I suppose you propably can do this w/ some software even w/ your onboard sound.

Select Recording Source issue on Audigy 2

I unistalled and installed the program and can't get it to work. I have the Audigy 2 ZS plat. with the software and all. Problem I have when I open up the Organizer MediaSource Player everything works but the "select recording source" button or selection doesn't work. It's kind of blanked out as if I don't have that option at all. But when I go to the mixer I can here the line inputs but I can't record from it b/c I can't select it. If anyone has this issues let me know or how to solve it. I have windows XP and also my Audio Stream recorder doesn't work either.

Ok I got it to work. This is the reply I got from Creative but I didn't remove the program from the add/remove option on the PC b/c that didn't work at first. I inserted the installation CD and remove it from that wizard. Rebooted and the PC found new hardware. I then installed the driver and software from the CD and now it works.
For Mediasource. It appears something was corrupted in Mediasource or there is a conflict within the system.Please uninstall all software and drivers for the soundcard, from add/remove programs. Once this is done, shut down the system and changePCI slots for the soundcard, then turn the system back on, cancel the found new hardware wizard, disable all background applications (especially virus scanner, firewall, and any other background applications running in the bottom right hand corner of the system), andthen perform a full reinstallation of the drivers and software from the soundcard installation cd.
CAT I hope you fix your sound card. Good luck.

Audigy 2 ZS Recording Source keeps changing in g

Hi all,
all of a sudden I've been experiencing weird problems with my SB Audigy 2 ZS. Every time a new level loads in CounterStrike Source the recording source in the MediaSource player changes to Wave. This means that everything I hear is echoed back to all my friends in TeamSpeak and it all sounds very weird. Every level change I have to tab out of CS and change the recording source back to Line-In /Mic.
Any idea why this happens, and has only started happening recently? Oh and how to fix it would be great too! :-)
Cheers
Nick

all of sudden?
no, not all of sudden, except if you just tried CSS.

How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?

I recently had my computer repaired where I basically had a complete overhaul. In the process they installed a second soundcard (the one that went with the new motherboard) alongside my original Creative Sound Blaster Audigy card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX). Before, when I would record audio into my computer, I opened the Surround Mixer software and in the record pulldown menu it showed all of the inputs as they relate to my Audigy interface (SPDIF, Aux In 2, Line In 2, etc.). Now when I open the Surround Mixer software, I only get generic options such as Analog Mix, CD Digital, Microphone, etc. and therefore I can't get any outside audio into my computer.
I figured the computer?was defaulting to the?new sound card so I disabled the onboard audio in my BIOS and then installed the Creative Sound Blaster Series 2 Driver. I clicked on the driver and it said that it needed to uninstall another driver that was already there. The install went a little funny and it got hung up a couple of times. Then, I couldn't get Surround Mixer to work at all so I went to the Creative website and installed Software Auto Update. I downloaded and installed all the critical components?but that also went a little funny. It took about three tries and it didn't seem like it actually finished installing, but when I checked on Auto Update again, it said that I was up to date and that everything had installed. I noticed at the beginning that it installed a new version of Surround Mixer but when I opened it later, it still had those same generic options, not the the ones that match my external interface.
What do I need to do to get my original settings back?

>Re: How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?p audiodrome,
Is the external Audigy Dri've properly connected? Does the Plat Ex have the rear jacks? If so, can you record from the rear LineIn or mic jack and play sound files through headphones or speakers? What happens when you run the Creative Diagnostic? What does Device Manager show? Otherwise, yes, uninstall and reinstall the Creative software. If your install CD has a repair option, try that first. However, you may find you need to remove the Audigy from your PC, reboot without it, and then reinstall everything. Some Soundblaster cards don't play well with some integrated soundcards, so you may also want to disable the integrated soundcard in BIOS.

Microphone input recording source while using Steam/Ventr

I own the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Zs. I also use a voice program called Ventrilo while
playing CounterStrike/Steam. My problem occurs when I play counterstrike. I go into the
surround mixer and choose Line-In 2 as my recording source as that is where I have my
microphone plugged into. It works fine normally, but when I open up Counterstrike/Steam
the surround mixer changes my recording source to the microphone, instead of Line-In 2.
It also does it every time I restart my computer. I would like my recording sourece to
always be Line-In 2 but for some reason it doesn't like to be that. Is there some file I
have to change so that it will always remain as the Line-In 2 or something else I have to
do? Any help will be much appreciated.

dr_bay2,
This was down to the game and it's setting. You can try the solution from Steam website and see if it hel

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.

Recording Source Changed by G

Hi there, I have an Audigy 2 Platinum eX. I've recently started playing Counterstrike (a Half Life Mod), I use a piece of software called 'Ventrilo' to talk to friends via my mic during gameplay.
The problem is, every time I open Counterstrike, the recording source in my 'surround mixer' gets changed to 'wave/mp3' from 'line /mic'. This means that when I talk on ventrilo, whatever I am listening to (noises from gameplay) are broadcast to the other users on ventrilo.
The only way I can stop this, is to alt+tab out of counterstrike, and change the recording source back to line /mic.
There are no settings inside counterstrike to define the input source (as they have an integrated voice comms) and I can't find any options to disable or change the source it picks.
My friend has my old Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum, and he doesn't have this problem.
Is there any way to maybe disable applications from changing the recording source? Or any other solutions?
Sorry for writing so much, and thanks for your help!

empty_sound,
You may need to change certain setting within CS. Check this article from Steam.

N95 8GB as a video recording source?

Hi all,
Firstly i'll say i'm loving the N95 8GB
I was just wondering, is it possible to use the N95 8GB as a video recording source? What I mean is, can we record something directly to a PC via some video recording software, via USB?
Thanks,
Ozzie

No I don't think it's possible like that.
You can put a TV-in card in your PC and then use the TV-out cable from the N95 and record in the PC.
I've done this.
640K Should be enough for everybody

LSMW Recording source program editing

Hi All,
Can we edit LSMW recording source program so that i can implement program logic? if so how can we do that.
Thanx,
GUNA

Hi Guna,
U can edit source program (but remember whenever u r executing the program its get changed), so my sincere request is dont go for that.
and if u want to write any logic best method is go for Mapping step(5th step)
in that there is Display variant icon , press that
u find pop-up screen in that check bottom three boxes and enter,
afterwards u find functions where u can write logic there what ever u want as per the requirement.
Reward for useful answers.
Thanks

Recording source not detec

Just reinstalled all my Creative software for Zen Micro on my new computer. The 'recording source' is greyed out and I cannot move the recording level button. When I try to do this the whole window moves instead. I cannot use the recording facility as the volume on the recording button is set at its lowest level. Any advice?

Loobyloo,
Do you have a soundcard in your computer? If yes, try updating your soundcard driver.

Very Strange - Mixer Record Source Setting Will Not Save - defaults to Microphone volum

This issue has me stumped.. I've even tried a clean boot of XP.
Firstly, I am using X-Fi Platinum, on XP, ASUS board
The problem is that both in Control Panel and in Creative Mixer, any changes made to the recording source will not save. In other words, when I close down the Mixer and re-open, the default source is Microphone with volume 0. Even if all I do is increase the microphone volume, when I close that window down, it becomes volume 0 again. When I try the approach through Control Panel it is the same result. The microphone is not "mute" but the volume slider is all the way down to minimum, so its the same result. Also, if I change the recording source to "What You Hear" or "Mic 2" , as soon as I close down the mixer window, it is back to Microphone volume 0
The strange thing is, I formatted my hard dri've and re-installed XP, and still I'm having the same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help..

I finally discovered the problem. It is the BlueBeat player that was responsible.
Here is an exerpt from a press release:
"Bluebeat.com uses MRT?s X SeCure technology which makes it next to impossible for an average user to save, record, convert or otherwise ?transcode? the audio streams on the Bluebeat.com"
But the problem is that it effects the OS at such a low level that doing a "clean boot" still does not fix the issue.
Keep in mind, that the BlueBeat player wasn't even running when it caused these issues. Fortunately, when I uninstalled BlueBeat, everything works fine again.
Moral of the story? If you have X-Fi, avoid BlueBeat.com, because you will lose all ability to record, even when not running their player. I hope this helps some people out there.

Audigy 2 zs Plat Recording source prob

Hi everyone, this is my first post.
I have the Audigy 2 zs Platinum card with front I/O. I used to be able to record from tapes to the computer but now I cannot do this anymore. I have my cables coming out of the headphone jack (from stereo - the only out put source) and into my front I/O dri've in the Line In jacks (l ch and r ch) but I get no sound going into my computer. I think it maybe win xp or my card but I don't know. I checked my volume settings in my computer and nothing is muted. My front i/o dri've works because my firewire port works fine.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Well, I just searched the forums here and found that this is a common problem in Counter-Strike, not the Creative software. I will try the solutions the other users have tried, and hope it works. If anyone still has a helpful comment, please post!

"Line In" Recording Source for Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

I've been trying to connect my technics turntables through a pioneer mixer to the external hub. I connected it to the "Line In" port as described in the help menu. However, when I select "Show Recording status" in mediasource player it doesn't give me the "Line In" option in the reording source pull down menu. I'm tearing my hair out!
Any ideas?
Thanks so much
Mark

Hi Kees,
Thanks for replying. I'll try using Wavestudio instead and see where I get.
I've tried to change my settings to record from "Line In" in the Surround Mixer but I am not given the option. I've checked the boards on here and cannot find anyone else who has had the same problem.
The problem seems to be that "Line In" is not an option.
Your, and anyone elses, help would be appreciated so much.
Mark

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.)
