How to enable "what u hear"
% hi, i have a sound blaster 5. vx , driver version 5.2..206, running windows 7, but i cant seem to enable 'what u hear' for recording.
i've tried recording devices - show disabled devices, but all it shows is mic and line in...
any help would be appreciated.
) You may need to contact Support directly to get a definiti've answer.
I suspect the Sound Blaster 5. VX doesn't have "what u hear."? That's a feature of their Emu-design, higher-end chi
ps.
If I'm right, the closest you can get is to connect the fronts out jack to the line-in jack, and record from line-in. You can also use a splitter on the fronts out jack to make that connection without disconnecting the speakers.

How to get WHAT U HEAR option for PCI Express X-Fi Titanium sound card and Windows 7
how to get WHAT U HEAR option for PCI Express X-Fi Titanium sound card and Windows 7 ? Is it on the basic driver? or do you have to install some other software?
janeYou have to install the rest of the software(s) for the sound card. The software is (if it is with the installation CD, though) called "Creative Smart Recorder" or something like that.

"What u Hear" problem with vis
I used to use the option "What U Hear" a lot when i sat in teamspeak/ventrilo, if i wanted to play of a song or something to my friends, then i just switched from Microphone to "what u hear" then the people would hear what i was playing.
Anyway, i've tried this in vista, and so far i've not gotten it to work, so i wonder if anyone here has done it's and can explain to me how its done?
The thing is, i first disable my mic, enable "what u hear", set it to default, the meter comes up showing sound, but when this is done, and i open teamspeak and join my friends servers, and i try to use my push to talk button to "play music/sound" nothing happends, i also sometimes get some sort of error with teamspeak when i have "what u hear" enabled too. So there is a problem somewhere here.
Haven't tried in ventrilo yet, so may be a teamspeak problem as well.
My soundcard is Creative X-FI Xtrememusic.
Edit: Just got it to work, seems to be a slight problem with teamspeak.Message Edited by Nitrius on 03-7-200702:44 PMI dunno if you have tried it but in ventrilo if you go into setup you can chage the input device there to What u hear, I have use direct sound box unticked. Personally for me changing the input device in vista doesnt work that well with vent. Im not sure how TS works.Message Edited by Renegade87 on 03-7-200702:23 PM

What u hear problems in vista 32bit
#What u hear problems in vista 32bit2 I just installed the newer variety of the x-fi notebook card with the wireless broadcast function, and for whatever reason installing the drivers failed the first time, I tried a clean install after that, and the microphone is displayed as not available and what u hear isn't present either, so is there a problem in the driver installation or are those features just non existent in the newer software I also noticed that line in works and the microphone input doesn't, gah, windows fixta is irritating,
EDIT: I found out how to get what u hear to work, I kind of felt stupid but all you have to do is right click in the recording device manager and hit show disabled devices and boom what u hear and the microphone input are there, for what reason I don't know why they were disabled in the first place, but hope this helps anyone with the same problem+Re: "What U Hear" Missing in Win7G ?
Agreed! I have an X-FI Extreme, upgraded to win 7, installed the latest audio drivers, and have just spent the last 2 hours trying to get my "what u hear" back without any luck at all.
I'll also mention that "disabled devices" are shown in the recording options, so that is not the issue.
I was using vista before with the exact same hardware and "what u hear" was available. The driver version was 5.2..200 dated 4/02/07 ... The current driver for windows-7 is 5.2..208 dated 3/08/2009. Maybe installing an older driver would do the trick? I don't know if that would work as I haven't been able to find the old driver I was using for download (just been bombarded with broken links). I'm also guessing that you'll be held hostage to the latest drivers in windows 7.
Get the latest drivers to lose functionality? Sounds like something apple would pull on you!
If anyone has a solution for this, please let us know, otherwise I'll be rolling all the way back to good old XP again. -
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: -
[WIN7] Enable Microphone and "What U Hear" at the same time?
Hey folks!
I am trying to enable both at the same time on my Windows 7 in order to record Battlefield 2 and my own voice at the same time.
Please do NOT start with "do this and that", I have tried everything for at least 1 year by now and the only way to make it work is to have microphone and "What U Hear" enabled. Apparently it is not possible. In order to activate one of both you have to make it "Default" record device but then the other device gets disabled. Trying to record the disabled device obviously ends up in silence.
What is the reason for that and how to enable BOTH devices at the same time?
I am using PAX Drivers which the maker always updates to the latest Creative Drivers. So I am up to date.
Thank you a lot in advance.Thank you for your reply.
Well, yes, the microphone is activated. And if I put the microphone playback volume to 100 I can hear myself talk even with "What U Hear" as my default recotding device. But once battlefield 2 starts it uses the default recording device for the in-game voice over IP. If I select "what U hear" as the default device it will basically put the game sound into the VOIP...
What I tried was - set microphone as default device, launch BF2 so it registers the microphone as VOIP input, then alt tab out, select What U Hear as default device but it does not get activated! I only see a bar at the microphone.
What I want is to be able to have TWO volume bars, in What U Hear AND Microphone so I can use the microphone for BF2 and What U Hear as gameplay-sound for my recording device.
In Windows XP this was possible. In Windows 7 this is missing.
The problem here is that once a recording device (the Default one usually) is being used by a program it BLOCKS the other recording devices. -
Hi , I suhail khan from india and i am user of iMac system 10,1.These days i am facing the sound enabling issue with my iMac system I am not able to hear sound in my iMac system.So kindly suggest me how to enable sound in my iMac . Please no the needful.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
2. From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -

How come I can't hear Siri talking anymore,what I do wrong?
Try a reset. Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

Microphone and "What U Hear" can't be enabled at the same time.
Hi,
so this is what I am currently doing: I am streaming li've online game play with the help of Flash Media Li've Encoder. It uses the What U Hear option,? without any problems, so far. Sometimes though I would like to coment on whats currently happening (in the game) with "What U Hear" though enabled, my microphone is disabled and I can not do that. Any voip software then ofc. gives me error messages, that my microphone is not available.
Surely there must be a way to enable the mic and what u hear
My OS is Win7 x64
and my soundcard is a creative x-fi xtreme musicTry unmuting mic in playback section of mixer

How does "what you hear" work with my surround 5.1 externa
Hi,
I am using a usb soundblaster surround 5. external soundcard and recording lp's through the line-in socket of it. I am confused about the setting "what you hear" as opposed the "line-in" setting;
I thought that the purpose of "what you hear" is that you are recording what you hear, i.e. with the altered sound of the graphic eq, eax, cmss 3d etc, but this seems not to be the case as the sound is the same on line-in as it is on what you hear. I want to be able to alter the sound quality/tone and in particular, the width of the stereo, i.e. make it wider, and can't seem to with this system. Shouldn't I be able to change the tonal quality and it be reflected in the recording if I am using "what you hear" as the input ?
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. Does anyone know of a software that can slightly alter the stereo i.e. make it wider, given the fact that I would be recording in 24 bit 96k of the soundblaster ? I have audio cleaning lab, and although it works, I think I need a better software for my needs, as the sound quality is very important to me.
Thanks very much in advance.

I just don't understand the bolted part after reading your post .
By keeping the recording untouched gives you the best possible quality. If you then want to "play" with effects as like spreading the stereo image, then do it on-the-fly rather than 'hard-code' into recorded audio data.
How to-do this while playing ... just use some audio/media software which supports addons (effects).
I could recommend you some players like
Winamp + VSTHost plug-in, MediaMonkey + VSTHost plug-in, Foobar + VSThost plug-in, Steinberg MYMP3PRO, WMP + some plug-ins (though, I don't know if there are this type as you would like of), etc. (there are couple more).
VST/DX EFFECTS plug-ins can be found from KVR - http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php
24-bit/96kHz would give you the best quality but, as you have an external Soundblaster there ... IMO, just use nati've samplerate then (AFAIK, it's 6-bit/48kHz) and if you don't want to use 48kHz wav/mp3 format then just convert Wave files 48->44. using Voxengo r8brain Free and then transfer to mp3 or wma if needed.
For quality sake I would recommend you to get least E-MU 0202 USB.

How come my final bounces have some much more bass in them then what I hear when I am mixing them
No matter setting I try when I bounce them, there is noticeably more bass in the final mix....I keep trying to pull it back and just keeps ending up in the mix. Unless I just kill it...what happened to what you hear is what you get.
Mac Mini 2.4 running Lion. Logic 9.1.5 running in 64 bit mode. 8 gig of ram. Mix is on seperate 7200 speed drive.
I have been a live engineer for years. Used Sonar for a long time. Always got want heard in monitors with that. Have switched to Logic and man I am get not getting my bounces to sound like what I mixed.
I am listening to them back in iTunes as Wave files.
What the heck am I doing wrong??? Have tried offline, live, normalization on and off....changed every config I can think of....
Just plain weird or this just the symptom of a product that seems like it is being ignored in all the imania.....Hi
Did you check iTunes playback preferences to see if the "Sound Enhancer " etc are turned off?
Does the Wav sound OK if you listen yo it via Quicktime?

Cubase/Audigy 2 prob: How do I turn on "Record What U Hear" function?
I'm not sure if I phrased that question right but apparently someone is telling me that I need to turn that function on in my Audigy 2 to get my wavetable synths to transfer to WAV files when I export in Cubase.
I looked in the mixer and saw the volume control but is that all I need to do? Is there something else?
Thanks!

Does this need to be done in this way on Cubase?
You can turn "What U Hear" ON on
- Creative Surround Mixer --> select .rec source by pressing the icon above the recording level slider
and on
Windows Record Controls (volume) --> by slecting (check box below level slider) the "What U Hear" -channel
NOTE: When you are using native ASIO or WDM/KS drivers --> recording controls are bypassed (i.e. recording source selection on surround mixer doesn't affect).
You may need to switch the drivermode 1st to something other (WDM, MME, DS, maybe ASIO multimedia) to get WUH working (never tried this by myself). On Windows registry, there is "SB AUDIGY ASIO WUH [xxxx]" driver listed (I assume th WUH means "What U Hear"), but I have not seen it listed in any application I've tried/using.

How do I get the "What u Hear" back in the PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Aud
When I right click on the recording the "what u hear" is no-where to be found, and is not present, is this fuction no-longer? available in the lastest PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio card in Vista? I can't seem to find it anywhere, it's not disabled or hidden it's just gone
any help would be nice?I just found out that the "what u hear" function is not supported in the Creavti've Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card
however, I, was able to get this to work (here's what I did) for a work-around
. I used a /8 stereo y-adapter and connected it to the speaker output, on the X-fi card,
2. then used the on-board REALTEK sound cards imput jack,
3. by doing this I now have the REALTEK Stereo Mix and the REALTEK line-in as the "what u hear" option, this will only work if you
have an on-board sound card
so now I can record everything I hear on my PC, streaming audio, ect. I hope this helps anyone who's bought this card and doesn't have the "what u hear" recording option as this function is NO LONGER supported by Creative...................here's what I got in my email form the Creative support team about this issue:

Alright so I know how "What You Hear" is supposed to work, but sometimes it doesn't.. Sometimes rebooting the PC helps, sometimes it doesn't it's very odd.
I have what you hear selected, and I have Music playing through WAVE, I'm saying stuff on the Micrphone and It's not recording anything. [Yes I have Both the WAVE / MICROPHONE enable to play on the playback so that I can hear it myself for the WHAT YOU HEAR to record them... Nothing is muted]
When I switch recording setting to WAV or just MICROPHONE, the input is taken just fine, but when I switch to "WHAT YOU HEAR" nothing is heard. Any Ideas?
I tried re-installing my Drivers before, it did a temp fix really reinstall>anyone? any thoughts? please?

Ok...so i installed the latest drivers for my Soun Blaster X-Fi and "What U Hear" showed up like it should. Now it just doesn't pick-up the audio. So i hear from some people to buy a mixer, i bought a mixer and had a cord running from the PC Audio OUT to the IN on the mixer, and from the OUT on the mixer to the MIC (Pc Audio IN)....this worked a lil bit but the sound had Vibrations in it, fuzziness at times, high pitched at times...and was just worse if i turned up any sound on the mixer. So i tried another idea someone gave me and connected an Audio cable from the OUT on the pc to the IN on the pc...and it worked just as good as the mixer...with the humming, fuzziness, high pitch, vibrations. I can't Figure it out! I'm trying to get this to work with Recording but not only that i want to do LIVE broadcasting on a site called Justin.tv but when my friend listens to it it has the vibrations in it like my computer shows as well.. Any ideas
Oh and i was using Windows VISTA...which i hate then i upgraded to Windows 7 Release Candidate...all tho it hasn't made it any better. Honestly its wierd cuz it works better sometimes and then sometimes the sound is much, much worse. Any help wud be appreciated.

If you have a sound card then just use the line in from the card to record from the player. Just select line-in as the source so recording.
