Cannot record from streaming internet audio. Sound Blaster Live! Va

Question

Hi,
I have a Sound Blaster Li've! Value sound card and am trying to record streaming audio from the internet. I have tried doing this with the Creative Recorder and with Windows sound recorder with "Wave" selected as recording source. Neither programs "sense" and audio when i am playing the audio and when i record it nothing is recorded. My microphone does pick up sound and both programs reord it fine. Can anyone let me know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Daniel

Answer 1

First things first. Most CD's will only play left and right chanel depending on the program you are using to play audio CD's. If you can get your sound cards play control to open and show you the volume controls.
Usualy double clicking on the speaker down by the clock in the lower right corner.
If you see front and rear settings is the rear volume control at minimum or maximum?
Change it as needed if its there.
In the program you use to play the CD's look in its properties setting and see if there are any front and rear settings. Also do your speakers have a front and rear volume on them?
Be warned if you change some of these setting your games might be loud from the rear.
Hope this hel
