Creative WaveStudio won't record from sound card anym

So I had this sweet system going, where I'd play something, and record it at the same time using Creative WaveStudio. It worked great for converting ogg to mp3 and suchnot. The problem started when I opened a file, and zoomed in on a section to edit it. When I tried to record something again, nothing. Total silence. I've changed all the settings, done everything I could think of, and still no luck. Pressing the Record button in WaveStudio records total silence when my Audigy Soundblaster is playing other stuff. What can I do to fix it's I will do ANYTHING, even update, but can't find any updates I can purchase.

Check your Control Panel - Sound and Audio Devices. Under Audio tab, ensure that Audigy sound card is selected as the recording sound card.
Have you also try uninstall and reinstall the WaveStudio?

Audio capture (recording) from sound card doesn't work

I have a Asus Xonar DS sound card that uses CMI8788 chip, AV200 kernel driver and snd-virtuoso kernel module. The card is recognised on installation (i686) and there are no issues with the sound output.
This is a new installation to try to fix the (lack of) recording problem. I know the card can be used to capture sound being played from a web browser, Youtube and internet radio, as I previously had it working with audacity, gnome-recorder and mhwaveedit, but some months ago, after an upgrade it stopped working.
Alsamixer shows the card as AV200 and I have toggled all the capture options and raised levels to no avail.
The card is not broken as the capture works fine on Kubuntu and even Win7. I have tried pasting asound.state from Kubuntu but there was no diference.
Does anybody know a good troubleshooting guide that deals with the capture side, not output.

"volume: can't open /dev/mixer " is for the users who use OSS so there; you should find out what uses OSS and change it if it is possible and not solely on oss.
and the error I am having is because I defined the specific software to hwd:0,0. so what i should do is to check my softwares and set the audio output to "default"
So in another word use you sound card and in output option of your sound card choose "default over hwd:0,0"

Can JMF capture audio from sound card?

I want to know if JMF can capture sound/audio from the sound card. Until now we have been capturing audio from microphone. but is there any possibility of capturing audio from sound card using JMF.
The audio captured from the sound card is to be streamed using JMF/RTP API.

Dear seniors,
i have tried to display my audio file as a graph as
x axis being the Time and the y axis beeing the frequency/pitch.
look at this post, i have mentioned all here...
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3073027&#3073027
is it possible to display as i desired?
wht the audio stream has? is it frequency or pitch?...
pls do give me some tips on that...
thanx in advance

HP Mini 110-1160SA problem recording sound from sound card

I am trying to record sound from the sound card itself rather than an external or internal microphone, using a free software called Sonarca Sound Recorder. For example, I play radio from the internet using the BBC Iplayer. I have Windows 7 Starter. When I use the Windows Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices, I get a window called Sound. I press the Recording tab, and get a choice of Internal Microphone, External Microphone, and Stereo Mix. According to my sound recorder software's documentation, I need to select that Stereo Mix, because it means "record whatever the sound card is playing". However, the Stereo Mix recording device, despite having a red tick mark next to it is "Currently Unavailable". How do I make it available?

to be honest, i am not sure about your problems, normally, you need to set stereo mix as default device, then using recording devices to record sound on windows 7. Since you cannot make it, why not insall a virtual sound device, it works like a real one, install this streaming music recorder on your system, start recording. Just test it out by yourself.

No sound in from sound card

I just installed an Audiophile 2496 sound card on my Mac- G4. I'm running OS-10.4.11.
What I want to do is to record from my turntable into Deck 3.5.
In System preferences- I checked the sound card as my input device- but it has no sound coming into my Mac?
i also have no sound coming into my program Deck.
Can someone please help me set this up so I get sound from this card?
Thanks

Please accept my apologies for jumping in the conversation.
Questions: have you checked in the Console logs that the driver software for the M-Audio card was correctly installed? Does the System Profiler reports your card? Are your input and output correctly configured under the "Patchbay/Router" and "Hardware Settings" tab of your driver program? Is the output level of your record player pick-up sufficient to drive the analog card input?

Noise when recording - Macbook - sound card problem?

Hi, I'm recording with Garageband on my Macbook, and everything sounds fine through the monitors, but once I start recording, it picks up this cyclical, scattered hiss (very hard to describe, kind of like a hiss rolling it's R's). It's not any of my plugged-in equipment, because it records this noise even when it is recording "nothing", with no mics or anything plugged in. It's very apparent on quiet tracks, not so much on busier compositions, but it makes doing any real instrument recording untenable. Is this a fault in the sound card? Is the program recording a vibration from the processor? The hard drive? I am flummoxed. Would a USB or Firewire audio device suffer from the same issue? Help!

I used to have this problem too. Try this: Just record like 10 seconds of seomthing, anything... even silence, with the macbook plugged to it's power source(ac-adapter) then do the same thing... but unplug it from its power source so that is is running solely on battery power. My prediction is that you will hear a significant difference. Turns out, the buzz of the computer charging, while very very very very slight, will be picked up. (if you dont notice this diference, then I am full of crap and cant help you)
So here's what you do: Get an interface that plugs into usb or firwire. I use the iMic. Very simple and works great.

Stream audio from sound card input thru network

Good Day:
I have an application where I need to access instruments at a remote location. Command/Control of the instruments is not a problem, but I also need to stream the audio present at the remote system's sound card thru the network connection. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this via LabWindows?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
-Ed

Hi Ed,
First, I was wondering, how do you get the audio from the sound card? Is it from a LabWindows program? I've never done that. Second, I was wondering how do you play the audio on the remote machine? Is that through a LabWindows program? I've never done that either.
But I was wondering if just a remote PC app would do the job. Like admins use to take over your PC from there desk and fix problems. I assume they have these that send the audio thru the net as well as the screen. Then on the radio's PC you just need a LabWindows program to control the radio and some other app to play sound from the sound card input to the local speaker. Then the remote PC app would magically transfer the screen and audio from the radio PC to the remote PC.
Otherwise, I can just say that to stream the audio thru the net, after the Radio's PC gets it off the sound card somehow, I would just set up two TCP servers on the remote PC, one for audio and one for the commands/control. When the remote PC client connects to the audio server the audio server would just start sending audio data to the client. The client would receive the data and put it in a big buffer to handle network speed variation. Let the buffer fill up to like a second or more worth of data before having anothe function/thread read the buffer data and give the data to the client PC's sound card. Big problem is that the client PC's sound card will alway's consume the data at a slightly different speed than the servers sound card produces it. Different clocks running at slightly different frequencies. So the client function that reads the audio buffer to give it to the sound card must play games. If the buffer is shrinking over time then it has to create extra samples to give to the sound card, just duplicating a sample every 100 samples or whatever. If the buffer is growing over time then it throws away a sample every 100 sample or whatever. So it's kind of a challenge to manage the buffer with the variable speed of the net transfering data and the two different rates of producing and consuming the audio data.
LabWindows has the TCP server create and client create functions so that's pretty easy. The harder part is that you probibly want to set the Radio's PC to a fixed IP address so that you can connect to it without worrying about domain names and such. Then the two TCP ports that the LabWindows uses for command and audio might need to be setup in all the routers to let you establish a connection. Your IT guy's can answer that.
PS. you can play around with this suff on one PC by using the RegisterTCPServerEx function and setting the local host address to "localhost", or "127.0.0.1" on one LabWindows project and using the corresponding ConnectToTCpServerEx with "NULL" as the server host name on another LabWindows project. This creates a virtual TCP connection on the same machine. This does not duplicate the different audio clock issue I talked about above.

How playing the sound from sound card backward?

hello
I write the following program for playing backward the sounds from the sound card:
package sound;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;
public class SoundLimiter {
      //final AudioFormat format = new AudioFormat(44100, 8, 1, true, false);
     final AudioFormat format = AudioSystem.getClip().getFormat();
     final DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class, format, 1);
     final SourceDataLine soundLine = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
      boolean stopped = false;
      int total;
     public SoundLimiter() throws LineUnavailableException {
          TargetDataLine line;
          if (!AudioSystem.isLineSupported(info)) {
              // Handle the error ...
          // Obtain and open the line.
          try {
              line = (TargetDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
              line.open(format);
              // playing back audio
              line.start();
           // Assume that the TargetDataLine, line, has already
           // been obtained and opened.
           ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
           int numBytesRead;
           byte[] data = new byte[line.getBufferSize() / 5];
           // Begin audio capture.
           line.start();
           soundLine.open(format);
           int totalToRead = data.length;
              while (total < totalToRead && !stopped){
                  //numBytesRead = stream.read(data, 0, numBytesRead);
                   numBytesRead = line.read(data, 0, data.length);
                  if (numBytesRead == -1) break;
                  total += numBytesRead;
                  soundLine.write(data, 0,numBytesRead);
                  //(data, 0, numBytesRead)
          } catch (LineUnavailableException ex) {
              // Handle the error ...
               ex.getStackTrace();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {

          } catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
}Using the above code i received the following error:

Well, first of all, use the tags to format your code.
Second of all, your code looks pretty horrible (fair enough, you posted in New to Java).
Lastly, the error message seems to be quite clear, you're trying to open a SourceDataLine with an unsupported format.
Where did you get this code?

[Soundblaster Z] PC won't boot with Sound Card

Hi,
today i got my new Soundblaster Z but my monitors stay black if i try to boot with it installed.
MSI Z97S SLI PLUS
Intel i7 4970k
Geforce GTX 980
Win 7 64
All drivers up to date.
Since my PCIe(x1) 1 is blocked by the CPU Fan and PCIe(x1) 3 is blocked by the fan of the graphics card i only have 4 and 5 left - both are PCIe x16. I tried them several times but the results where always the same - the PC has power but the Monitors stay black. The LED of the soundblaster is red glowing by the way - i don't know if thats normal or a warning signal.
Is the sound card faulty or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Korahan

Hi Korahan,
1) You may want to rearrange your cards to free up a slot, other than 4 and 5, that can fit in the card. If your CPU fan is a separate unit, you might want to remove that temporarily to see if it works. What we want to do here is to identify whether any of the slots are working fine. The PCIe x16 slot is within the specs of the Sound Blaster Z.
2) Next suspect is perhaps your PC's power supply, whether there is enough power for all your installed peripherals.
3) You can try the card on another system just to ensure that the card is not faulty
4) Regarding the LED, this is normal; there are some who found this rather annoying. You can easily search online on how to disable or hide the 2 LEDs. Just note that any physical modifications made to the card will void its warranty.
Cheers,
Colin-CL

[SOLVED] No sound from sound card

I'm going to be quite brief about this, because the details have been repeated so often in many other threads. Just recently (as in a few hours ago), my laptop (ThinkPad T31) is no longer producing any sounds, despite the card being recognized. Trying to troubleshoot this issue, I tried a variety of different solutions I had found during my research:

I have tried blacklisting snd_intel8x0m in /etc/rc.conf, as well as try using OSS, both to no avail.
I have also tried placing:
options snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=1
in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
There were actually many more things that I have tried while sifting through all of the past forum posts relating to this issue, but I won't go into to much detail. Could anyone explain what I need to do, or at least point me in the right direction? I am absolutely baffled, especially considering I had not updated anything before the problem occurred.
EDIT: I also tried a different kernel, in this case kernel26-lts, which, again, produced no results.

Nice catch! Unfortunately, the PCM channels have never worked for me (I use 'Master'), so I always keep them muted. I tried unmuting them without any luck.

Urgent help:JMF capture sound from sound card?

I am trying to capture what I was playing on my computer using Java code. It's apparently different from capturing sound input through microphones. How can I manage to do this? Actually, while I play a song or something like that on my computer(server), I wanna capture it and send them to other computers(client) in the LAN.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!Ummmmm, you'd probably need to set your recording device to be "System mixer" and then it would work just like capturing from the microphone.
