Cannot record with sound blaster conn

I have purchased a Sound Blaster Connect to convert stuff to mp3. Using line in I can hear sound through headphones on the Connect, Creative MediaSource seems to realise there is sound (monitor moves), but as soon as i try to record, I get a - 'the recording process was aborted' message. I can record to mp3 via WaveStudio but results 'stutter'. Any advice?Message Edited by Brianjay on 05-30-20070: AM

That's not the issue, the problem is that some games are firing 32-bit float audio (0x0e type as indicated in the error) into ALSA through whatever means, and the standard GLC only supports 16, 24 and 32bit signed int audio. My fork above adds very rudimentary support for float.

Can't record with Sound Blaster Live Va

I have a Sound Blaster Li've Value (on-board) card and can't record streaming audio with it. It plays streaming audio fine, and seems to record it, but the resulting wav or mp3 files are "empty", playing them results in silence. I noticed that there was an old thread about this, but I couldn't find a reply. I tried to find out if this sound chip was indeed full duplex, but couldn't find that information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ron

I have the same message error.
"The SBPCI Interrupt has been routed incorrectly by the system. AudioPCI Inacti've. Use Automatic setting in the Device Manager."
I have a Compaq computer and win 98. Ever since we moved, the speakers stopped working.
I tried going thru system properties and Device manager...it shows that the device is working properly. And the Automatic setting box was already checked. I bought new speakers thinking the speakers were bad but I still get no sound. I followed all the steps for Sound Troubleshooting. I did notice when I went to control panel, multimedia, devices, audio...one of the sound cards said: driver is enabled but inacti've due to an unknown problem. But it didn't tell me how to fix the problem?
I don't know how to get the sound.
Can someone help me? I really don't know anything about the computers.
Thanks in advance.

Recording with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value! ag

Alright, I've been trying to record from various instruments and devices... (synth with /4 inch stereo output to /8 inch convertor, cd player with /8 inch output, guitar to amp to /4 inch stereo output to /8 inch convertor)Basically, I want to record in stereo sound.) Does line-in on the SB Audigy 2 Value card have stereo input? Whenever I've tried to record, I have only been getting the left channel. 2) Where's the game controller / midi input? Do I have to purchase the optical digital i/o 2 add on? And if I do, will this even work with the Audigy 2 value? 3) Does the SPDIF work as a stereo input for any of the devices I've been trying to record from at all? or does it require the I/O device I just mentioned?Thanks in advance,Tyler Pantella

You just can't record analog mono instruments as stereo without a stereo microphone.
If you mean to record a signal which 'stays in the middle' and not 'panned left or right' then you need
- mono to L+R (stereo) convertor adapter
or
- mono to R+L (stereo) cable
between (pre)amplifier output and soundcard input.
<i>Note: Normally instruments are recorded mono --> easier to set instrument positions in final stereo mix</i>.
) yes it is stereo
2) no game/midi on Value. Purchasing Digital I/O won't make any difference to this.
3) dunno, see yoyr user manual

Are there error messages coming out?
Which operating system are you using?
NOTE: Samplerate and bit-depth for ASIO in Audigy series cards is fixed to 6-bit/48kHz (and 24-bit/96kHz). If your 'project' is set for 44.kHz, it's possible that you can't get it started.
If you can't get the software started because of ASIO error then, you could try
- temporarily rename ctasio.dll (this file can be found under Windows\System32\) so the software/system can't find it anymore
- install asio4all driver which supports all samplerates your card is able to ( http://www.asio4all.com )

Issue with Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit driver

,Issue with Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit driverw Hello, I have a 2004 Dell Dimension DIM900 and a couple months ago it began making a loud crackling noise sporadically. It sounds like real ear-piercing static, like when a microphone is being plugged in, only in short random bursts at alternating pitches so I originally thought my speakers were blown. I turned them off and decided to use a headphone set only to hear the same annoying sound.
I looked in the sound settings and read that I have a Sound Blaster 24-bit internal driver in my system, assuming that information is correct.
What can I do? I did the search and read the read on those X-Fi drivers that had a similar problem, but I didn't know if that was the same as this because the thread concluded that their problem was exclusi've to systems with Nvidia dual SLI graphic configurations and X-Fi drivers. ? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi IT5,
May I know if this Li've! 24bit came pre-installed on your Dell computer or did you purchase & install the sound card separately?

5.1 speaker hook up with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (Del

?????????????Hi Everyone,?I have a Dell computer, about?4 yrs. Old, that came with Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) audio card pre-installed. I purchased a set of front speakers & sub woofer from Dell that all connect thro one speaker cord which is inserted in the ?"line out jack " on the Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) card.Now I'm thinking about hooking up?a surround sound speaker system, or to my AV receiver. I also have a?"rear out jack" and a "analog/digital out jack" that I have never used. But I need some documentation on how to do this.Feed back will be appreciated.

I have a digital as well but it is virtually useless I have tried everything nothing on this site nothing works. As well. I have a 5. li've and every driver?Idownload corrupts within 2 weeks, speakers start to crackel yadayada. Is there any support at all from this site for the product that you put out? I notice the driver dates on the downloads page is way outta date by like 4 yrs,lol. I would like a lil help on these cards before i snap them in half an buy another maker which I would hate to do as I have always bought soundblaster and for all my customers as well. A nice updated drivers page would greatly be appreciated

My recorded footage without sound will not play, but will when recorded with sound, any ideas?

Hi there community!
I have recorded alot of footage on a digital Harinezumi 3 camera and have run into a problem in post production.
Some of the footage is recorded with sound, and plays fine. However, with most of the footage, i chose to turn the recording of sound off. These files without sound will not play in any player, even when Perian is installed.
These are the specs of the video I have been able to find out.
File type: .AVI
Video Stream: JPEG
This is all I can find out, so I am thinking it is an M-JPEG file rendered as an AVI file. VLC player says it can not play the video or audio format 'undf', whatever that means. Another player says it needs a .moov encoder, but I do not see how this is possible. I have also tried attaching audio to it via Logic 9 with no success.
I am at a loss, and I really need this footage for a project. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!!

It won't let me post the video in the forum, so here is a link to it in dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4nz8mg18p4thzd/Mountain%203.AVI?n=145237283
Accessed the file at dropbox. Played the DropBox "display" file in scripted player, played the same resource file using the Safari plug-in, and then downloaded the resource file using the QT 7 Pro "Open URL" option only to learn that this file was an H.264 transcode and not your original file. Used the DropBox download option to download the original Motion JPEG file in AVI file container. File plays as is in both QT X v10.2 and QT 7 v7.6.6 players under Mountain Lion v10.8.4 on my system.
Motion JPEG is one of the "lagacy" codec components turned off under Lion and which remains turned off under Mountain Lion. However, as I understand it, Motion JPEG files are supposed to be passively supported (playback supported) under these systems but requires the codec to be turned back on if you wish to export files using this codec. I turned both Motion JPEG and Motion PNG codecs back on quite a while back and have Perian installed which, as you can see, supplied the OpenDML version of the Motion JPEG codec component to actually play your file on my system. Unfortunately, since QT uses a LIFO codec component list generation strategy, I would have to remove Perian to test whether or not the system configured Motion JPEG component would then become the active decoder. (Did this a year or two ago but not willing to do so again at this time.)
Suffice it to say, the file should play in QT on your Mountain Lion system assuming the correct version of Perian is installed, it is actually active, and you have no conflicting software or hardware installed on your system. Have posted an MOV file containing your Motion JPEG video data in case you want to see if it will play correctly on your system.

How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
Good Luck

You don't say what drivers your using.

Cannot record ingame sound with glc (-git)

I have a problem with recording ingame sound with some games with glc (well, glc-git). glc says, it can record sound from games, if they use alsa (or sdl and forcing sdl to use alsa). As long as I don't use pulseaudio, this shouldn't be a problem. But for some games, I can't get the sound recording to work. The 2 at the moment are:
FTL
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
I usually get a message like this:
[ 1.46s alsa_hook error ] 0xa8a8170: unsupported audio format 0x0e
[ 1.46s alsa_hook error ] 0xa8a8170: can't extract hardware configuration: Operation not supported (95)
I can record the game, but not the audio. If someone can help or test it, if it works for him, that might be nice. Or if someone knows a workaround or so. Or if someone can confirm, that there is no audio recording for those 2 games (but I actually don't wanna hear it... :-) ).
Also there are plenty of games, I got the audio recording to work with. You can see it in my youtube-channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChemBroTronNo1

doorknob60 wrote:Do you use 64 bit? I don't have a copy of Amnesia downloaded right now, but if Amnesia is a 32 bit binary game, and you use 64 bit, you need to make sure you have the proper 32 bit libraries. lib32-glc will probably be enough.
That's not the issue, the problem is that some games are firing 32-bit float audio (0x0e type as indicated in the error) into ALSA through whatever means, and the standard GLC only supports 16, 24 and 32bit signed int audio. My fork above adds very rudimentary support for float.

Error with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 installation...driv

Hi
I am really stuck with this issue and was wondering if someone out there could help. I have an Audigy 2, and have had it working for a long period of time. I had to re install Windows not so long ago and since then I have found a number of errors with my sound.
Firstly there are a lot of pops and clicks when either gaming or playing audio files. Admittedly the pops and clicks happen a lot more when gaming (multiple sounds playing at once ?).
Therefore I decided to come onto creatives site and download the new drivers for my sound card. I was still running the original drivers from the CD supplied, so felt it was about time.
I downloaded the file SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55-R, which is the correct update for my card and tried to install it.
It comes up with a message:
Setup could not detect and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on you system.
Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program.
setup will not exit
After that message i was a little confused, because as far as I was concerned everything was working ok, sound was coming out and was coming out correctly from my 5. surround system.
So i double clicked on the Creative Volume Control to check everything was on.
I'm not sure if this is an error but a long the top where you select the output device mine says:
SB Audigy [A000]
I'm not 00% sure but I don't think it said that before, I think it said something else, but I could be wrong.
I decided to uninstall my sound card and re-install. Everything installed absolutely fine from the CD, recognised the card and no complaints.
So I tried to re-install the driver update, and same message. (And the output device is still SB Audigy [A000].
Again I uninstalled and tried the Beta patch on the off chance that that would work, still nothing, it does not recognise the card in my computer.
I definately have an Audigy 2 and it has worked properly allowing me to update it before.
Sorry to have such a long message, but I am really confused about all of this and would really like to get everything working properly.
Any advice and help would be appreciated.
Thanks

fedepolito,
I assume that you are running WinXP with Service Pack 3. Did you do a clean sweep of all the Creative Software and reinstall from the A2ZS CD? Do you get sound then?
Me disculpo que no entend?a que todo que usted dijo en su poste. Asumo que usted est? funcionando Windows XP con el Service Pack 3. ?Usted hizo un retiro del barrido limpio de todo el Creative software? (Busque los foros para el "clean sweep." ) ?Despu?s de eso, cuando usted reinstala del CD de Audigy 2 ZS, usted consigue el sonido?

Recording with Sound Blas

Ok so as of now the only thing I can do is play music from my computer. I bought a sound blaster card to do music recording. I am using the software that came with the card but I can never get it to pick up an audio signal and record it. What am I doing wrong!!

Frustrated,
What are the sources that you are using? You may in fact need a preamp depending on what you are using for input. Are you using this card solely as a recording card? If so you may want to consider a different line of cards for this. Creative has recently released a line of Creative Professional cards that are made specifically for recording and creating music. All of the cards include /4'' inputs and outputs which may be better for your setup. More information on these cards can be found at www.emu.com.

Performance problems in games with Sound Blaster USB Sound Dev

Hello!
I recently bought a new USB sound device named "Creative Sound Blaster Surround 5. USB Sound Device"?or maybe also "Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit External" as this is the name that Windows is displaying.
Before, i was using a C-Media PCI Audio Device.
Other system info:
Windows Vista SP
ATI Radeon 9200 LE (i know it's old, but i was able to play the games before)
2GB RAM
Now, my performance in games decreased significantly.
I only play Team Fortress 2, but i also tried an old GoldSrc engine?based game which was also slower.
The game now isn't playing fluently like before: my fps dropped and every few seconds, the graphics stop as there is a big network lag. It is now impossible to really play the game.
i already tried
- reinstalling steam and tf2
- using another usb port
- reinstalling the sound drivers
- all (both sound and graphics) settings to low
The Steam support thinks that the data transfer rate for USB isn't high enough for what is needed and recommends that i should buy an internal sound card.
But i hope there is a different solution to this problem and someone here can help.
Thanks!

No PCI interface, but USB = Slow. No hardware-acceleration (Mayber your CMedia had !real!, not pseudo?DS hardware support) so its normal that the soundblaster usb is slower in every term. But maybe sounds better...
The USB versions are only for Notebooks and other speciall situations where a PCI soundcard with X-FI or Audigy chip cannot be used...
