Creative X-Fi recorder from "what you hear" and splitting tra

Hi,
I used to be able to record minutes of music or sound and be able to split this saved file with the splitting option of Smart Recorder. I now have installed a new sound card X-Fi and want to do the same but cannot find where I need to look. Does this new software for X-Fi offer that or not anymore?
thanks,
Luke

I have the software from the CD installed, as I stated earlier, the "What You Hear" option is only missing if you do a CLEAN install of the drivers from the Windows Update. That is?to say if you install the drivers from Microsoft's website with no other X-Fi driver installed on your system.
If you installed the update over a previous version of the drivers, then the "What You Hear" option remains available.
I checked this three times by doing a clean install from the Windows Update and then installing the other driver from Creative?s website.
All three times I deleted the X-Fi driver from my system, then installed the one directly from the Windows Update. I would check my record settings and could not find the "What You Hear" option. I would then install the driver from Creative?s website and checked the settings again and the ?What You Hear? option was available.
If you just installed the Windows Update driver over the one previously on your system without first deleting it, then yes, you should have the "What You Hear" option.
I also could not get the "What You Hear" recording option in any software application that previously had it (ie, Adobe Audition, Sony Sound Forge) until I installed the driver form the Creative website.

6Controling recording through "What you hear",

Dear community, Breif question, Is there any way to control what i record through "what you hear"?
Im using "Creative MediaSource 5" to record. I'm recording a radio show through Internet Explorer 8, and its two hours long. I've turned off windows sounds, but if i play a game, or video it will record that sound aswell through "what you hear", obviously which i do not want. I feel restricted on my computer while recording and don't think i should be with a product from top developer like creative. I found small fix by using windows 7's sound mixer and turning down volume on all other open apps but it would be ncie to implenet this into a seperate "what you hear" mixer recording. If you know of any third party apps i would be much obliged if not don't you think this would be something to implement in the future?
Thanks for taking the time to read my issue and hope you can solve my answer and look forward to your comments.
Regards
Revs

Problem resolved. Follow Creatives FAQ advice on uninstalling the Soundblaster device drivers...it's on this web site. Follow all the steps, but include deleting "Creative" out of the registry. This worked for me. I can not guarantee this on any other users machines. I'm assuming that the drivers get's damaged.
Good luck.

Error when recording with "What you hear" opt

Hi there fellow Creative Fans,
I see that a similar thread already exists for this topic, however it does not seem to be resolved yet...and, my situation is a bit different. I run a pretty standard setup (Intel P4 .6 Ghz, 52 MB RAM, Windows XP Pro SP2) and of course a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I have been running this setup for approxiamately 5 months now with no changes whatsoever (hardware/software). I have been making extensi've use of the "What you hear" functionality in the Creative Media Go Player. Two nights ago, I wanted to record sound from a DVD and I got this message "The recording process was aborted".
As stated before, I have not added or removed hardware, installed service packs or any new software for that matter. I have reinstalled all the drivers and software, checked and re-checked settings. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Creative's site...all in vain.
Can anyone please help. If acker25 is reading this: "Have you resolved your problem yet?"
Regards
Steyn

Creative Audigy 2 Platinum with WHAT YOU HEAR & MICROPHONE shows "Currently Unavailable"

I re-used my Creative Audigy2 Platinum for my new built PC used on Window7 64. Somehow, the latest Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series driver 2.18.0017 "SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0017.exe" on Creative Website (http://support.creative.com/Products...rodName=Audigy 2 Platinum&subCatName=Audigy&CatName=Sound+Blaster&V ARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_150,VARSET=CategoryID:1 )for my old Audigy2 Platinum has some kinds of "bug" problem. It keeps disconnecting my internet access. Also, both "What You Hear" & "Microphone" in Recording show as "Currently Unavailable". And with that, the microphone and music does play fine on speakers or headphones, but I could not use its for talk live through the internet (i.e. PALTALK) or mixing music.
Please help and Thanks a lot!!

Found the Secret of Recording with What You Hear.

This website tells you how to setup Vista so that What You Hear will work with your SoundBlaster Card. http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/0/...ding-in-vista/. Do you see the date. Jan 5, 2007 how did this not get out before now. It works great.

Only problem is that I CAN'T get the 'Wave Out Mix' to show up in the Sound Recording Tab Window.

What You Hear and the X

I cannot stop what I hear from going through my Micon Ventrilo. We use Ventrilo to game with and everything I hear in the game is played through my Mic when I hit my push to talk key.
Please help

KeithMac,
Open up the (Surround) Mixer, and set your recording source, the red slider, to Microphone. It sounds like it's currently set to What U Hear.

"What you hear" recording volume is too

I have Soundblaster Audigy 2 on Vista 64-bit. I recently downloaded new drivers (6.0..242). This is after converting from XP and old drivers.
My "What you hear" settings work and will record using MediaSource Player, but the volume on the recorded file is about 25% the volume of the original file. This is verified upon replaying both the original and newly-recorded files side-by-side or right after one another.
When opening the Sound Panel>Recording Devices>"What You Hear">Levels, the levels are to the max and the balance is to the max for both right and left channels.
Although probably irrelevent, under Sound Panel>Playback Devices>Speakers>Levels, play control levels are max, and all other sublevels are?maxed, balanced maxed, and unmuted. (Sorry for my lack of technical description.)
I play the file on Windows Media Player and volume is maxed on the player as well. The interesting thing is when you look in the Sound Panel, the speakers show maxed volume and the "What you hear" only shows, again 25% of the volume.
Previously, I had no problems with XP and old drivers. I also was once able to revert to old drivers (which I can no longer do) and the problem went away. The difference was that the old drivers had a "Wav" level setting (under Sound Panel>Playback Devices>Speakers>Levels) where you could increase the level. These drivers don't appear to provide this setting.
Is there some setting I'm missing? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Which card/software you got there?
If you use "Creative Surround Mixer" --> you can set the .REC source by pressing the icon located above recording level slider.
If you can't see the "W-U-H" option listed there, then check if it's already selected (ear icon).

What you hear recording sounds like Phase Shifter!

Hi, when I record with "What you hear (from youtube, etc.) it sounds like it came through a phase shifter: real bad. I have a dell xps 420 with Vista 32 bit and it'scame bundled with?creator premiere, adobe soundbooth, etc. Intel core tm2 quad cpu, 2.66 Ghz, memory 4GB
it seems to record ok with line in and mic. Can someone please help?

Actually, there's discussion about this all over the Internet.
The problem is your move to Vista and Windows 7
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

Missing "What You hear" on X-Fi Titanium

Hi,
at first, sorry for my bad english, but without practice, its not easy
Last week I bought an brand new Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Professional. I?m using Vista Ultimate x64 an the drivers from the original CD (Driver version 2.7.).
On my old X-Fi Extreme Music, I had a recording Device which was called "What you hear" (or "What U hear" , the original german description is "Was Sie h?ren"). It has the same function like "Stereomix" on other soundcards.
I miss this recording device on my new X-Fi Titanium, there is only the microphone, the line in and the digital in. Is this feature not longer Part of the Productline? I think it was verry useful.
Is there any chance to enable "What you hear" on the new X-Fi Soundcards? I reinstalled the driver finally, but this was not the solution^^
Again, sry for my bad english, but may, somebody can help me.
Best regards
DarkRhinon

Also, do you think the recording of "What You Hear"?would still be possible?through on-board sound chipset?
Hm, my onboard Sound (its called ASUS SupremeFX X-Fi, but its only a Analog Devices Chip with some X-Fi software feature)? already have the "Stereomix". Hm... I will miss the "What U hear" on the X-Fi, imho its a not a good decision to remove this feature. Its also a bit mindless, because it looks like that other manufacturer still use this feature and intigrate it in their soundcards...:smileyindifferent:

Does "What You Hear" work in Windows Vis

Does record?"What You Hear" work in Windows Vista?

It works (in 32 bit anyway), but not that well by my experience. I only have the windows sound recorder to use, and the sound it captures distorts slightly. I ususally use the Creative WaveStudio for recording, so I'm not doing much recording while I wait for a Vista version to be released.

I do not have 'what you hear' as an option any longer with the new Titanium; I had it with my older X-Fi Fatalty, but not this new card.
I would imagine it has something to do with Microsoft trying to limit recording of DRM-protected content, and Creative bowing to their wishes.

Anyone suggest suitable software to record from the iMac to the iMac. i.e. 'What you hear'?

WHQL X-Fi Driver missing "What You Hear" recording

I have tried this 3 times to make sure it is not a simple glitch?
If you uninstall your X-Fi driver and do a clean install using the WHQL driver from the MS Update, the driver installs without the ?What You Hear? recording option. If you update to the driver without uninstalling the old one, the option remains available so this seems to me a small problem...however it troubles me to see that it is missing form the MS driver if you do a clean install.
Is this an option that MS is pushing to have removed ?

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.)

Soundcard with "what you hear" recording supp

Hello,
I'm looking for a soundcard with so called "what you hear" recording support under windows, so a possibility to record all audio going to speakers. Is there any model from creative supporting this feature, prefered an external model at USB/Firewire or internal with PCIe?
TIA for advice
