Mic in and headphones out conflict

I have a new SB vx card, using Guitar Tracks pro 4 (new). The input is an expenesi've condenser?mike and the output through the same card is a headphone set. ?Recording produces garbled results. If I change my settings to use a USB headphone the recording is great and so is the microphone output. What is happening here? All help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Mic Plug And HeadPhone Jack In Tower Not Work

I just installed the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Card in my Sony Vaio Computer that runs on XP. The serial number for the sound card is M8B04004650275U .
Everything is working except the front Tower Plus for the Mic and The Headphones. What do I need to do to get this working? Is there a setting or do I need to run a cable from the SoundBlaster Card to the card on the front of my tower?
Thanks

If that doesn't work then contact your local Xperia Care

New notebook only has headphone out and mic in -- Will any Creative speakers work?

Hello all: My new notebook only has a headphone out and mic in, and no audio out as you see on desktop PCs. I prefer not to use my USBs as I have other devices using them. Are there any Creative speakers which can use the headphone output and convert it to line level? This is a frustrating problem...the product specs all assume that you have a line level output 1/8 stereo jack. I don't. How can I find out which Creative products (if any) will work? I have a very typical, Compaq V6000 notebook running XP. I'm looking to spend under $80 and would prefer a 2 speaker or 2 pc w/ subwoofer configuration. I prefer to know that I can connect my new speakers rather than order blindly. Thx yall.

You can perfectly connect your 2.0 or 2.1 speakers to the headphones out, because it's like it was a line out, with the only difference that you can modify the out volume. There's no problem at all.

GX740 - Anyone get two TRUE separate audio streams out Headphones and LINE OUT?

Hoping for an update on this. I asked MSI via their support section and wow... what a FAIL that was:
Quote
Do you have new specific drivers that allow TRUE 4 channel output? 2 out the headphones and 2 separate out the LINE OUT as implied by the design? I've tried everything and it doesn't work.
I've tried ASIO4YOU drivers - doesn't work.
I've tried every RealTek driver out there - nothing.
Yes, I've set the RealTek driver to do multiple out but it sends the audio out the HDMI port, NOT THE LINE!
I know this can be done cause you can set the REALTEK for 7.1 and you get separate streams out the headphones and line-out ports!
Please - you've sold a laptop with "Headphone Out" and "Line Out" yet it fails to actually do that - NEW DRIVERS PLEASE?

Dear Customer,
Please go to msi global website to download the audio driver,then install it.
audio driver:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/nbdriver-15227.html
Needless to say, that did nothing. In fact, I can't understand how I could of received such an answer given it made no sense what-so-ever. Download the driver that came with it? One that's now almost a year old?
Regardless... I've tried that one. I've tried the latest RealTek drivers. I've tried a multitude of ASIO drivers. NOTHING WORKS. Yes, I've set the RealTek to send TWO SEPARATE STREAMS. That does NOTHING. The only thing I've been able to ascertain is that you can send one stream out the headphone/line out (same thing) AND one out the HD port which is useless.
Here's the pain in the ass: If you go to the RealTek setup and change it to 7.1 and hit TEST, you DO hear separate output out the HEADPHONE JACK and the THIRD Audio Out jack which is the side fills so I know this laptop CAN spit audio out two separate outputs sitting on the side of the computer.
Why do I want to do this:
Simple. I'm lugging around an external audio interface for DJing and it's a pain. I'd rather just tap the headphones out for, well, headphones and send the line out or that third audio output to the DJ mixer. Done! I've tried MIXMEISTER, VIRTUAL DJ, NOTHING WORKS! I can select various strangely named outputs insinuating speaker out, speaker out + 1, etc... but no... it doesn't work at all...
Sooooooooo... has ANYONE been able to get this to work? I'd love to know...

Yea Stu... been through this part... Playback devices show the typical:
1. Speakers (Realtek) -> Plays on ext. speakers but sounds like just treble. Headphone Out plays this stream.
2. RealTek HD Audio 2nd output -> Plays on ext. speakers but sounds like bass/mids. No treble. NO OUTPUT PLAYS THIS. Plug anything in and sound from the speakers just shuts off
3. Realtek HDMI Output (Not selectable)
4. Realtek Digital Output (Not selectable)
So yea, it seems right out of the box there is a problem with the sound on this unit. Choosing speakers sounds like crap (no mid/bass) and choosing HD Audio 2nd output sounds like crap (all mid/bass no treble).
There is no discrete dual audio out the jacks.
HOWEVER - Go choose 7.1 from the realtek setup and do a test. Well what do you know, DISCRETE 2ND AUDIO OUTPUT OUT THE HEADPHONE JACK AND THE 3RD OUTPUT JACK OF THE 4 IN A ROW. This PROVES you can have two discrete stereo audio streams coming out the output jacks. Just need someone to write the driver for it.
Here's the thing. This laptop HAS 4 1/8" JACKS. SEE:
Here's what the manual says about the output jacks:

Conections to Audigy 2ZS for built-in case Mic and Headphon

Is ther a pinout for any place on the Audigy 2 ZS for me to connect my built-in case connectors so I can enable the Mic and Phones connectors? The cable that goes from the connectors to the mobo right now (the mobo has onboard audio) are individually labeled for channel, grd, etc. They are individual connectors and go on the really small pins typical to many of the conectors on the sound card. I disabled the onboard audio of course, but the connectors were likewise disconnected at the same time. Any help would be greatly appreciated

A way to do this with known, documented signals is to mount two stereo minijacks to a slot cover to bring the front connectors to the rear. Then use short splitters and cables to connect the line out and mic to the front.
Here's also an old post made to CL's decommissioned old-style usenet server. There is at least one signal discrepancy to be concerned about in this description:

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
Thanks

No. You can only use one sound output:
Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.
Mac computers: Frequently asked questions about using HDMI

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

X-Fi I/O Drive Upgrade Kit and the Headphone Out j

I would?need an extra analog audio out for my new HDTV since I don't have an HDMI-out on my PC and the audio out's on my soundcard are reserved for 7. speakers. I thought the X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit might be my solutions since it has an extra headphone out. I have an X-Fi XtremeMusic card and my new telly has L/R-RCA audio ins.
My question is does connectin headphone jack to the X-Fi I/O Dri've mute all other sounds? I would like to be able to use both my S750 speakers connected to the PC and the HDTV speakers connected to the X-Fi I/O Dri've's Headphone?Out?at the same time.
And one extra?question:?Do the headphone out on the I/O dri've introduce dedicated left/rigt channels including all the sound information from the source file being played, or just the left/right channel information as in 7. mode when the soundspectrum is divided between all the eight speakers and when the front left/right channels do not contain all the information? It's a bit tricky to try put into words what I mean, but I hope you can understand.
Thanks for any and all replies!

You can enable/disable the muting on jack input detection.
As for the output, I think it outputs the front left and right, so you would need to switch to headphone mode in order for it to be stereo only. However, the dri've also has digital out and from what I understand, that only outputs in stereo unless it's using a surround sound source such as a DVD, but I could be wrong.

I can record and hear me recording through the computer's built in mic, but can't get the external mic and headphones to work., The preferences are set for the external mic and headphones...

SBH52 and headphone mic?

I have SBH52 and Sony XBA-2VP headset. Acording to following review it should use in line microphone of the headset when using compatible headset.
http://recombu.com/mobile/news/sony-sbh52-review_M19403.html
But I tried several headphones with mic built in. It only uses ic of the unit.
The information in the review is wrong? Anyway of getting the mic of the headphone worked instead of unit mic??

Me too facing the same problem ECO sound or low sound problem replaced the headset but still having the problem even i have to select sim for dialing with my Xperia T2 ultra then there is no use of bluetooth headsets...
Sony have to fix the issue of low sound & dual sim dial complaining from last month but there is no solution service is too poor i didnt expect this from SONY.

I just got my iphone and everything seems to work until i try to call someone. They cant hear me. When i face time the mic works and the speaker works for the voice memo but it doesnt work when i call out. i tried resetting should i try restoring?

i just got my iphone 4 and it seems to work well expect when i call out. the other party cant hear me at all...if i face time the mic works and if i use the voice memo it works as well. idk what to do. i reset the phone should i try restoring it again?

I've got the same issue. It just stopped working today. Kinda upset

Multiple Headphone outs question

Hi there,
I recently asked for a bit of help getting my home studio setup sorted and I just need a bit more advice please!
While I'm experienced in the live room of a studio, I'm still very much an amateur on the other side of the glass! Basically I'm just putting together a basic setup to track some demo's / ideas with my band. So far, I've got a Motu 8PRE interface running the drum and instrument mics into Logic and the outs from the 8PRE going to the monitors. My question is this...
How do I set up multiple headphone outputs with independent mixes so band members can have a custom mix in their headphones? I'm having a hard time figuring out how this would work and have no idea what I need to do in Logic to set it up, and also what hardware I might need.
If anyone could explain this, both how to set it up in Logic and the kind of hardware I would need that would be fantastic!
Many thanks in advance

1) Yes
2) Sorry - I assumed that box had 8 outs too - I assumed wrong. You could get an additional multi-channel interface which accepts ADAT inputs as well as analog, which would give you great flexibility. MOTU makes several - better yet check out RME, Focusrite, and others. There are dozens on the market - it depends on your budget and future expansion plans.
3) Yes, or a headphone distribution system - but again, your budget will determine this. Hear, Furman and Aviom all have systems. Or for much less, Presonus headphone amps. Depending on your physical set up, you might need a snake unless you're using an already wired recording room.
Good luck.

X-Fi Fatal1ty Front Mic (2) and

All,
I have installed my X-Fi Fatalty with no issues except for this little software glitch. I am trying to use the front panel Mic2/Input2 and Headphones jacks on the front audio panel with my headphone/microphone headset. The headphones work great but when I ever try to use the microphone BF2 does not recognize the headset unless I drop into the Soundblaster console and select the Mic2 as the input which works but the BF2 VOIP Setup seems to change the setting back to the Microphone setting once the changes are saved it changes the input back to microphone (). Is there anyway to make this change stick?
Audi'ver

hi ya same problem for me also when using front panel.everytime i join a game it changes it back to microphone then i have go to to desktop and change it back to min in 2 in my mixer. which is very annoying.considering we have payed a lot of money for this souncard we shouldnt be having this issue i have resulted in using the back connections now cause the mic at the back is default microphone.and so is battlefield i guess thats why it keeps changing the configuration.when i was using the front panel i had to disable voip in bf? to stop it from changing back i mainly use ts but even if you want a quick work with a squad? member who aint on ts you cant.this problem cleary needs to be sorted. i like to use the front panel cause you have the volume for mic and headphones.so using back panel you have to alt tab out to adjust your mic.so it clearly isnt compatible with bf at all .

SB X-FI (no front panel) - Can I have speakers (2.0) and headphones connected at the same ti

Hi,?Can I have speakers (2.0 Creative I-Trique 2200) and headphones with mic (Sennheiser PC6)?connected at the same time to the back of the card?The question is related to SB X-FI XtremeGamer Fatalty?(without front panel), as I assume with a front panel it wouldn't be an issue. I'm just trying to find out if the connections on the back of the card allow for that?Thanks,
MarcinMessage Edited by madeinstein on 07-09-200705:06 AM

More than possible. Start with plugging the headphones into the front out jack and the speakers in the rear out. Then it is just a matter of changing the speaker settings and a change in CMSS. When using the headphones set it to headphones, and when you want to use the speakers set it to 4., and in the CMSS settings adjust the fron/rear balance to all rear.
