Audio line in and mic both recording

Hi, both the line in and the built in mic are recording at the same time , it doesnt look so in system prefs > sound > line in ( I have built in line in selected) as when I make a sound the level meter does not move , however when I start recording in iMovie 09 ambient sounds from the area are captured as well as the sound from the line in.
please help.
I need to get some projects done this weekend and I just can't with the macbook working like this.
hoping it's something simple I've missed .

Hi Lyssa,
I use a professional dj mixer which is fine for going directly in usually, if I used a specific sound card (I use MOTU cards for desktop/studio work) I'd have a better quality audio sound but I just don't need that quality for mobile demo work which is why I need the input on the book to work with the iSight/iMovie without recording from the internal mic at the same time...
Something is broken somewhere IMHO
The thing is I have to rely on the mixer going directly in at the moment for mobile work, it works fine on other notebooks, looks like a call to Applecare is in the offing....
I guess I may as well, there are a few other problems with this Macbook...like it's started cracking already and I've only had it two months, the graphics unfortunately look to have an issue also as when I scroll text is flashing/scatty etc.
looks like I've got me a lemon.
ah well..I'll have a look at the new 13" MBP me thinks... it should be more solid?..but then again it's aluminium...sorry I digress
kindest,
becca

    Depending on which soundcard you have there, but if your card is capable for
    ASIO -> activate I/O drivers on Sonar/Options/Audio/Drivers -tab (mic/line sources should be listed there --> activate) and select the mic or/and Line sources on tracks "I" - dialog
    WDM/KS -> use the Surround Mixer or windows recording controls for recording source selection (mic should be listed there)
    MME32 - > same w/ WDM/KS
    If you use Asio4All --> same w/ WDM/KS & MME32
    No mic and line source simultaenously w/ WDM/KS and MME32.
    You perhaps be able to do this w/ kX drivers.

    ADDED:
    You can also install modded version of Audigy 2 drivers/software but I have never done this w/ Li've! 5. so I can't be sure if you get ASIO support for your card.
    Here are the instruction --> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php

  • Possible to use audio line out and in simultaneously ?

    In the current version of MacBook Pro Retina is it possible to use the analog audio line out and line in both simultaneously ? That is playback as well as record analog audio at the same time.
    Does anyone know what is the audio hardward platform (Codec, DAC, ADC, etc..) in this machine ?
    Thanks!

    Air has a headset jack.
    You can use a splitter
    Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
    then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
    consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

    or better still use one of these with pro XLR mics:

  • Audigy ZS Line in and Mic no so

    Hello,
    I recently purchased this sound card and although the outputs seem fine, both the microphone and line in are silent in both inputting sound to hear it li've and for recording.
    I have tried everything on this forum, used old and new drivers, trying the card in two different computers. I even formatted an old hard disk with a fresh install of XP and installed the card for a totally fresh start but the line in and mic are still silent. There isnt even a reading on the on screen meters from touching the jacks or plugging them into a source.
    I have checked all the usual options such as un muting and have been using both the ms volume control and creatives, selecting analog mix in the rec option in surround mixer.
    Please help as I am on the edge of returning the card as soon a possible within warrenty.
    - Thanks -
    BTW interesstingly enough the microphone actually crackles when plugging it in as if the soundcard is damaged and giving out some sort of output !?Message Edited by matt09 on 06-25-2006 04:49 AM

    Then, as has been said already, it appears it's a hardware defect. This might be a workaround, if you're up to it, and if that part of the input circuit isn't damaged. That last is a big if, so if it were me, I'd jumper a connection and try it before going to a lot of trouble. There's also an AUX input on the card, although I don't know what the input specs are for that. It's meant to connect to the analog output of a CD-ROM, so it won't work for a mic directly connected, but it might take line-level from an external device.

    This problem occurrs with both the line in and mic and yes, the 20db is selected. I can playback from all sources on the computer, although I am unable to hear any sound from the microphone source and line in, as well as being unable to record from it. The speaker test works fine, I only have a 2. setup, and Digital output is disabled. I have tried many different sources of microphones, amplified mics and tv and keyboard outputs into both the line in and microphone in the card and have got nothing from all these outputs on both inputs using various leads! I have also turned off EAX although this had made no difference.

  • Audio Line In/Internal Mic ignored if FireWire DV camera seen first?

    I've been working streaming a broadcast that is intended to consist of audio fed into an MBP via its line in and video fed in via FireWire.
    However, I've found quite often that if after boot the audio input is plugged in too quickly after the FireWrie connection is hot plugged, the MBP will not "see" the incoming audio, nor will it see audio coming from the internal mic; I can plug the cable in and out several times but the Sound preference pane never shows input audio.
    However, if I unplug the FireWire and plug it back in, it seems the MBP will continue to see the audio in and the FireWire camera.
    This also works if I wait to make sure the MBP can "see" the line in before hot-plugging the FW camera.
    Has anyone else seen this?  Anyone know of any other workarounds other than to make sure the line in audio is "seen" before plugging in the camera?
    This is within the context of Ustream, but the audio isn't even being seen at the Finder level.

  • X-FI Extreme Audio Line in and

    Hey?
    can i Emulate the Audio Line-In to 4. Sorround Sound?
    On my Line in i have a Recei'ver and i would like to use my Sorround System.
    Any Chance?
    regards

    Re: -Re: X-FI Xtreme Audio/ Line-IN + Mic Problem? OK Gentleman, the problem is fixed, and this with the original and actuall creative drivers.
    Because daniel_k`s unofficial soundpacks didnt work for me, i decided to install the actuall creative drivers and started a support request. In the meanwhile i installed the official updates which are provided in autoupdate function. With driver .4000 there is no possibility to set flexijack to mikro so its not possible to use the mikrophone.
    After restart the windows update function shows an creative update, which is not shown with the creative autoupdate tool (ugly i think but thats true). I decided to use the windows update, downloaded it, restarted the pc and now...
    Start Creative systemconfig:
    Now everything works fine. EAX is working, Crystalizer is working... The only thing which is not possible... using 2 analog inputs at same time. Because i own a analog tv card, i have to use the onboard realtek analog cd in. With XP and Vista it was possible to watch tv and use teamspeak for example... now i can watch tv or use teamspeak but its not possible to do this at same time.

  • Line In (and Mic In) no so

    I have an audigy 2 ZS. A 5. system is connected to the first 3 jacks, along with a firewire dri've. All these work properly.
    I am trying to transfer my vinyl collection to the computer. Connecting the turntable in the line in gives me no sound (with or without amplification: the turntable has an integrated amplifier that can be turned on/off). Connecting a mp3 player also gives no sound through the line in. Finally, I tested a mic on the mic in and I get no sound either.
    In the mixer, none are muted, all sounds are all the way at 00%. I have reinstalled everything, updated all drivers / softwares, nothing works.
    As a test, I also connected everything to a second computer with basic on board sound, and everything worked fine on that computer.
    Any idea? Something I might not have tested or tried?

    lordhong,
    When you say your 5. speakers are connected to the first 3 jacks, I assume you mean the first 3 jacks up from the firewire. And just so we are on the same page, the mic is the next jack up from that, and Line-in is the one above that. The one remaining, at the top, is digital. If those are your connections, then the next question is have you selected Analog mix as your REC source in the Creative Mixer for recording from Line-in, or Microphone if you are using that?
    Also, in Control Panel, Sounds & Multimedia (or whatever it is called on your system), Audio tab, make sure your A2ZS is selected as preferred Recording, Playback, and Midi device. Place a check mark in the box at the bottom for "Use only preferred devices."Message Edited by Katman on 02-06-2006 09:9 PM

  • Recording from external mic while recording music from internal device?

    Not sure where to ask this? I'm rather new to MAC. I was under the impression GARAGE BAND would be able to record my vocals from an external mic while playing an audio either from an internal mp3 or CD? I don't see how if so?
    I simply wish to record vocals over an instrumental song from mp3 or CD, but I am unsure how to do this on my IMAC? On my old PC, I was able to just use WINAMP to play whatever audio while recording my vocals over it with COOL EDIT? Is there some thing I'm missing here? Can I do this with Garage band or what do I need to get to do this?
    Also, I've plugged my external mic in, went into my preferences to set "audio line in" and it doesn't pick up my voice? What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Wil3,
    Best place would be to ask this question in the GarageBand forum which you can find here:

  • Y500 Audio Line Issue

    Hey guys, it's my 3rd yeard using the Y500 and recently just I discovered there is some issues with my audio line in and out ports. I plugged in the mic and speakers but it's not working, sounds are still continue playing by the laptop itself. I'm not sure for how long this problem occured as I barely use any speakers or earphones.

    Go into the Sound control panel applet. Under the Playback tab, what devices does it list when you have headphones attached?

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • Connecting 2 USB Devices for recording in GarageBand blue yeti and M-Audio Mobil pre. will they both work together one track each?

    I Have set my Audio Midi Setup under Audio Devices to Aggregate Devices and selected M-Audio MobilPre USB and Blue Yeti Microphone.
    I plugged my MobilPre into one USB port on my MacBook and the Blue Yeti Mic into the other USB on my MacBook. So I have two inputs
    and I set each device for OUTPUT as the HeadPhones from the Blue Yeti Mic. I still cannot record the vocals on the blue yeti and the Guitar on the MobilPre
    At the same time even though both show the rec button is active on both. What do I need to do to get these to both work recording at the same time?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
    With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
    As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
    Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

  • USB adapter for Apple Earphones that will let you use both audio and mic simultaneously for a phone conversation?

    I like the Apple Earphones (the iPhone headphone with audio, mic and remote) but I hate to keep plugging it on and off my Macbook Air. So I heard the only way to fix that is to buy a USB headphone so you can switch it on and off through software. Problem is that I like my Apple Earphones and I want to keep using it but now through USB. Is there a USB adaptor that will work with the Earphone, in other words, that will make both headphone and mic work at the same time for a phone conversation?

    10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated
    BTW
    Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.
