No CD Recorder Device Is Fo

I have a Zen 20G Jukebox. I'm connecting it to a Dell laptop, operating on Windows XP, with an internal cd writer.
When I try and burn a cd of tracks I have stored in my Creative Music Library I get the message that 'no CD recorder device is found'.
In the Tools menu, under the Settings option and the Burn CD tab - the option to Select CD Writer is blank, and grayed out, with no option to select anything.
I can still burn discs using itunes, so I know my cd writer is OK.
Can anyone help?
THANKYOU!!

Go to Nomadworld.com downloads and get the latest MediaSource, MediaSource plugin, and the CD update (Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8).

Setting Stereo Mix to default recording device on Windows 8 HP Envy Ultrabook Kills Speakers

When I try setting Stero Mix to be my default recording device, the audio playback always cuts off after about 5-10 seconds or so. When it cuts off it doesn't sound good - it sounds like my speakers fry themselves to a quick and painful death if you can imagine that sound (ok, maybe i'm exagerrating).
Sometimes I have to reboot in order to hear any audio again on this ultrabook. Other times the audio will come back on its own after some time (it may always comes back over time, but most times i'm impatient so I reboot).
Is anyone else with my config able to set Stereo Mix to be the default recordgin and still retain a workable playback device? Anything else I can try?
I have the HP Envy Ultrabook laptop with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.
Thanks,

I have since discovered stereo mix works when the laptop is plugged in. If it's unplugged it still will not work even though the setting "continue using while on battery power" is checked in the properties. If this is by-design I suppose I can live with this.

Hi,,does the new 2011 imac 27 inch U.S version support any pal signal inputs as video or hdmi through the video recorder device or kanex xd ?

Hello,,
I have 1 question please,,,
does the new 2011 imac 27 inch from USA support or lay any PAL signal ??
as for example
I have a friend who lives in the middle east & has kanex xd & he wants to connect it with the imac 27 inch from Satellite receiver or PS3 though HDMI cable,, but yet the signal is PAL not NTSC in the middle east,, so will the imac 27 inch play the movie from the satellite in full colour or in blue & says cannot play the movie because its not NTCS ? because this is U.S version of imac then he might need an convertor?
the same as if he want to record any hdmi or analog device from his video recorder device,,but the input is pal,,so will it plays normal in the U.S machine or will he find any trouble ???
so can you pls give me an advice for him
should he buy the imac from the U.S store or the europe store ??
N.b : there is no mac store ONLINE in the middle east espicaly in Gulf, thats why he want to buy the imac from the mac store online,,
and thank you

No "Enhancements" Tab in Windows 8, Recording Device Properties

Hi, I just bought my HP laptop, a HP ENVY 15-q008TX, Windows 8.1. Whenever I'm using the microphone, I've found that the microphone automatically lowers its volume when it's too loud. It's obvious there's some auto-leveling going on in the background, be it by my audio driver or Windows. I don't want that and it's problematic when I'm recording audio for work.
Searching for answers on the internet gave me these common answers:
1) Turn off auto-audio adjustment in Skype -- Done. However, the auto-leveling issue I'm facing happens in other software, even when I'm not using Skype. So it's not a Skype issue.
2) Go to Control Panel > Sound > Select "Do nothing" for communications activity. Done, but issue persists.
3) Go to Control Panel > Sound > Recording Devices > Properties > Advanced > Unselect "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device". Done, but issue persists.
4) The last solution I've found is to go to the "Enhancements" tab of Speakers Properties AND Microphone Properties and check "Disable all sound effects". This sounds like a possible solution except that my Windows 8.1 has no Enhancements tab at all for both Speaker and Microphone Properties.
I then tried checking the Beats Audio Control Panel (that's the audio software my laptop came with) which has barely any options.
In the "Listening Experience" tab, it doesn't show any auto-leveling option.
In the "Recording Experience" tab, it asks me to attach audio device when my headset microphone is clearly attached and it's working and detected by my Windows and other software.
So at this point I don't know what to do. I suspect there's some audio software issue going on. Any advice is appreciated.

I do not have any issue connecting a microphone. That connecting error in the screenshot seems to be something wrong with the Beats software itself than any issue between my microphone and the HP laptop.
To clarify:
1) My microphone works perfectly and it shows up in Windows Control Panel.
2) I have used my microphone over Skype with no issues.
3) I have recorded many audio recordings with my microphone with no issues.
Where I do have an issue with the microphone, as I have outlined in my original ticket, is that there seems to be an autoleveling or loudness equalization going on where any input audio that goes beyond a certain volume will automatically be softened for 10 seconds, before the microphone increases volume again. I have found this issue reported many times in other forums and apparently it's a common issue, and the solution seems to be to disable the loudness equalization in my Speaker/Mic properties in my audio control panel.
The issue here is that I cannot find this option to disable loudness equalization at all in my audio control panel, be it in Windows or in Beats audio panel (as I have cited in my original ticket). I would like some help to know where exactly I can find and disable the loudness equalization option in my computer because it has to be somewhere since it has been operating in the background.
The manufacturer is Sennheiser.

What should be the problem?

There could be a few reasons, a common one is bad DVDs or a burner going bad.

Recording Device for ipod Touch 2G?

Hi, Does anyone know if there are any recording devices available for the ipod Touch 2G. I know there are heaps of apps, but my friend has an iTalk attachment (is really cool) for her ipod nano, and it doesn't work on the touch. I'm a journalist and keep having to borrow dictaphones from my colleagues. Any tips?
Thanks!!

Recording device error on DVD DL -HELP!

Hi there,
I have problems burning a Dual Layer DVD with DVDSP 4. I'm using DVD+R DL Verbatim as the media in a DVD-RW DVR-111D. But it keeps sending the following message:
"Recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error (0x73,0x03.)"
I've tried direct from SP and with Roxio Toast v. 6.1.1.
Any idea what's going on?
Comments and suggestions are welcome!
Desperate Marissa =(

What speed disc are you using? That burner will only burn speeds up to 8x for DL. You might also try burning at the slowest possible speed.

The recording device reported the illegal request: Unknown device

Has anybody any idea? I am not able to output a dvd-9 (dvd + dl). there is always the message: the recording device reported the illegal request: unknown device. The layersize is ok and the dual layer brake is set.

I don't have the exact error message with me, but that sounds similar. I bought a new DVR-115 for my Mac Pro and put the existing DVR-112 in the bottom slot. The DVR-115 worked fine for a month or so, then started getting that or a similar error. I replaced it under warranty and soon got the same thing. Then I Googled the error message an found many people having the same problem, even people with PCs. Now I just burn with the DVR-112, not worth resolving. BUT, I could be remembering the error message incorrectly, so Google and see what you get.

How do I set a microphone recording device?

I have downloaded Audacity , a freeware audio playback program, for which I have to 'set [ mic] recording device' and can't figure out how to do that. I have plugged a desktop mic into the right panel port and have looked for the right location to activate that mic in
Firefox, and can't find it. Please help.

Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue.
There is documentation and tutorials for Audacity here. <br />

"Adobe Captivate could not detect a recording device ..."

Adobe Captivate shows my Snowflake USB microphone but doesn't record sound from it. When I choose Calibrate I get "Adobe Captivate could not detect a recording device". However, I can record from the microphone in all my other apps (Rosetta Stone, Sony SoundForge, etc.), so I know it's not a hardware issue.
When I go to "Sound" in Vista Pro's "Sound" option on control panel the Microphone is chosen as the default recording device, and I see the bars moving up and down when I talk.
What can I do to get "Captivate" to see the Mic?
A temporary workaround I found is to plug the Microphone into my laptop, then select SPDIF in as the input source. Captivate still gives the "... could not detect a recording device..." error, but the sound records anyway. This is kludgy, however.

Hi there
You may well just be out of luck. I heard Captivate 2 and Vista Pro used together. I don't believe Captivate was fully compliant with Vista until version 3. So that may explain things.
Unless someone pops in with a better idea, you should be able to record the audio separately, save as WAV or MP3 and import into your slides.
Cheers... Rick

MEDIASOURCE- won't burn a cd! Can't find a cd recorder device is fo

Hey, i just got a creative zen 20 gig installed the media source program fine. And i got to work fine it finds cds, rips them onto the computer and to the zen, but it when i try to burn a cd using the program it says it can't find a cd recording device, and when i go into the settings that whole section of selecting the cd writer is an option i can't fix or select any option.
i have NEC dvd+-RW ND-6500A dri've that works completely fine and can burn cds i proved this using NERO) the reason why i want it fixed is because it is easier to burn the recording i make straight to cd throught the zen than transferring to the computer and using a third party software like nero to burn the audio cd.
If anyone knows how i can fix this problem and select the dri've, or knows how to make the program idenify it that would be helpful.

JUST_CHILLIN,
You may need to update the CDRW database of the MediaSource application. Go to the download page and do a search for this filename - CDBD_PCApp__00_05.exe
Install this and update it.

Problem opening recording devices Audigy4/Vista 5

Audigy 4 in Vista has started acting up since I upgraded to build 5728. Although I get sound and can use my
microphone for Speech Recognition etc. if I click on Recording Devices from the taskbar speaker icon it briefly opens then I get a rundll error and am asked to close program.
I tried completely removing Creative software and drivers (2.0.0000) and starting over, but it persists.

"recording device already in use," audigy2 platinum and windows 2

I recently did a clean install of windows 2000 sp4, and now I get some sort of "recording device already in use" error with 3 different recording programs. I installed the drivers from the CD with the 'just drivers' option. I already tried an uninstall/reinstall and the problem occurs with no other non-windows programs running. I found a few other instances of the problem in the forum, but no solutions. Any ideas?

I dont understand this reply, what has mute microphone to do with this problem ? The problem i have is using more than 1 input at a time.
I changed to the integrated sound card and now everything is fine, i can mix limitless of inputs without the soundcard telling me its busy. Also the static noise on high volumes are also gone now ........
Ive always bought the most expensive sound cards from creative but when i get better sound with the integrated i have no choice anymore. So tired of all the problems with the X-Fi series.
