No sound from Line-In...?

I just bought a new Recon3D card. I was having problems with my X-Fi Titanium card, and so on a whim I just bought a new card. My problem is this...
I have some DJ equipment going into the Line In on my sound card. I can not hear it when it is playing. I can see the level meters moving. I can record the audio on my PC and then play it back, but I can't hear it when it is playing.
I used to have this same problem on my X-Fi... it would just "mute" all of a sudden, and I would have to go into the Console to un-mute it. Well.... this time it isn't muted, but I still get no sound. I have looked and looked until I am falling asleep, and I can't find an answer. The answer that 99% of people give is "un-check the mute button..." but I assure you, it is not on mute on the new Recon console.
Does ANYONE have anything that can help me? As a DJ, I kinda need to hear what I am playing.
Oh, and when I click "listen to this device" on the listen tab I can hear it, but it doesn't sound very good and has a good 2-3 second delay.
Seriously, any help would be appreciated!!

Ok, so I wiped Windows and installed Windows 8... and I still have the SAME problem.
Does anyone have any IDEAS even?

  • No sound from Line out on X-Fi El

    I have lost my sound from the Line Outs on a X-Fi elite. Or rather I can hear it but only if the volume is a 00% and then it is very poor quality. I have been using the Headphone Jack on the breakout box and this is my first time trying the Line Out. Can somebody tell me if the Line out is supposed to be a true low power Line out or is it capable of powering unpowered speakers or some small headphones. It seems to me that headphones should work fine from the Line out, so what do you suppose my problem is? I have checked the normal (IRQ, Drivers, default device, volumes, etc.). Any ideas? I'm running an MSI Nforce3 250gb board.
    thanks...

    mr. kat,
    unfortunately, I don't have Playcenter -- I downloaded the file from Creative, and am met with the same message I receive when attempting to install Creative Recorder on win XP: nothing to upgrade, so no go on the install. I don't know how to get the data onto win XP in order for it to be upgraded. :0
    I do remember there being CMSS back when I ran this device with my win98 computer, and that probably has something to do with it. I don't have EAX console either, but I do have the EAX Control Panel (aka Audio HQ) and there were no CMSS features there.
    I have heard that one can use the SB Audigy installation with their SB Li've! cards and it will work -- have you heard anything to that effect?
    Thanks,

  • Audigy 4 - no stereo sound from lin

    I just bought an Audigy 4 soundcard. I'm using to record guitar and vocals with Adobe Audition. Problem. My guitar is only recorded on the right side when it plugged into line 2 of the box. Before you answer,
    ) it is not the pan feature in Adobe Audition (it's set dead center)
    2) it is not the type of cable I use to connect to my guitar
    3) it is not any setting on my guitar (the guitar records on both sides when plugged into line /mic)
    I think it is the line 2 jack on the Audigy box but I hope I'm wrong because I don't want the hassle of sending this back.
    If you have suggestion to help or to troubleshoot, I would appreciate it.

    anyone?

  • Is it possible to record sound from line out ?

    Hi,
    I am wondering is it possible to capture the live audio which is coming out to headphone, using Java Sound API?
    I have searched through the Java Sound API and looks like it is impossible. So I want some experience guys throw some light on this.
    Thanks.

    I have the same question more or less. Can an HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter cable be used to capture video into iMovie?

  • Line-in sound from only one chan

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my new Audigy 2 ZS gamer card. I use my PC as a second TV and have the sound from the satellite box fed into the line-in jack; however, only the right channel comes through. The microphone jack works fine for both channels but the sound quality is not as good. I borrowed an identical card from a friend for testing and I get the same problem with hers - except with hers the left channel plays. Playback from pre-recorded sources is fine. The problem does not seem to be with the hardware and re-installing the drivers has not helped. Any thoughts?Message Edited by Jasperdog on -23-2004 07:05 PM

    hi all,
    just found this thread whilst looking for a solution of my problem : got an audigy ls and tried to record from a (analog) camcorder that i hooked to my tv card. the camcorder has two stereo cable/out but the audigy only one line in, hence i bought a (stereo) adapter to plug in these two lines and convert them to one. result is that i got sound on the right channel only, just like jasperdog. same prob comes up when i link my vcr to the audigy, best to my knowledge the vcr is mono. worked out well with my previous soundblaster li've! did not really get the point with the stereo adapter plug, do they sell these things for mono also ? any chance to change some settings in the driver ?
    any suggestions ?
    thanks in advance !
    Its hard to know why this is happening, but my guess would be, your adapter could be in mono. How many black stripes are there? One or two?
    The Line-In is should be Stereo, I see no reason why Creative would want to switch to Mono for this card when their older SB Li've is stereo.
    Just to make sure, when you meant two stereo cable out, did you meant the White and Red RCA cable?

  • Recording sound from DVD and CD play

    I just bought a Zen V Plus. Could someone please tell me how to record sound from a DVD and/or CD to my MP3? Thank you!

    Try this:
    1. Connect the Line IN jack on your player to the line output of an external stereo source, such as a CD or MiniDisc player, using the supplied line-in cable.
    2. Press the Back/Options .You may need to do this more than once until the main menu appears.
    3. Select Extra button to start a line-in encoding.
    5. On your external stereo source, start playing the song you want to encode.
    6. While encoding, you can press and hold the Back/Options button and select one of the following items:
    Pauses the encoding. You can also pause the encoding by pressing the Play/Pause button.
    Stops and saves the encoding. You can also stop the encoding by pressing the Record
    Split Ends and saves current recording session, and begins a new one.
    7. Press the Record button to end the line-in recording. The recorded track is named LINE followed by the date and time of the recordin YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<. For example, if you record a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named LINE
    This information can also be found in your user's guide, it's a .chm file found in your installation cd.

  • Live5.1: Is surround or 4 speakers from line-in VCR poss., surround ev

    I have finally got two pairs of powered speakers to plug into my Li've5. X-Gamer boxed card I got a few years back. When I play mp3s or CDs music from the pc CD player both the line out and rear outs play, both the same stereo i guess, when I turn both pairs on. I don't know whethere or not it has mattered what Sounds, settings in Windows XP I have as speakers type set to in Control Panel. I have NO creative software installed. Just what windows update gave me when it recognized my card. I am using WMP9. My CD player is a Pioneer DVD-6 non-tray (so it has no digital output), but I do have the CD audio line connected to the Li've 5. card, as well as the pci slot. I have never tried a surround DVD movie so I don't know if 4 speakers is giving me surround or not. I have a cheesy DVD or two, and I am getting sound from 4 speakers, but I'm not sure if it is in "simulated surround" or dolby surround (or a simulated 4 speaker version of dolby surround).
    There is a line-in on the back of the sound card, and I have JUST plugged in a hi-fi VCR. With both pairs of speakers on, I get no rear sound channel. Therefore, definetly no 5.:
    Questions
    : Is it possible to get rear channels as well from line in (dual stereo) as above from line-in?
    2: Is it possible to get a surround-loaded stereo signal from line-in (VCR) decoded into both the line outs and rear outs, as either Dolby SURROUND , or simulated SURROUND?
    3: Is it possible to create Surround effect out of mp3s or pc CD music in 4 speakers?
    4: Do I need to install the creative software?

  • Getting sound from macbook to work on HDTV

    Hi, I'm having problems getting sound from my macbook aluminum 13" to my tv. The tv is a Samsung R8 Series 37" LE37R87BD HD. i got picture up by running a dvi to hdmi to the tv. i have no problem with picture but i can't get any sound. I tried 3.5mm jack from macbook to tv 3.5mm jack. got no sound. so bought a 3.5mm Jack to 2 x RCA and still got no sound. i even ran the the jack through my home cinema system and to no luck.
    is anyone else having this problem and is there a solution?

    Forgive what may be a dumb question on my part, but you are using the correct audio jack on your MacBook? The output would be the one closest to the security slot, farthest from the display/USB ports of the two 3.5mm/optical jacks. Also check the Output tab of the Sound system preferences to make sure that the Headphones/Line output is selected. It will probably be the only output shown, but double-check just to make sure.
    Note that not all TVs will work with an auxiliary audio input when the video input is set to HDMI. Check your TV's documentation to see if it can split the video and audio input to different sources. That wouldn't, of course, explain why your audio amplifier isn't getting signal either.

  • How to output sound from Zen Neeon to speaker without using

    how to output sound from Zen Neeon to speaker directly?
    as far as i know, i can only play content in my mp3 player using speaker with usb cable connected to pc
    i just wonder how i play using "play" button in mp3 player and the sound will output to speaker directly?
    need extra line-in cable?

    my speaker system is subwoofer,but i not very sure it's 2. system.
    the cable from the speaker is slightly too big to connect to the player headphone jack. and no sound come out after i play.
    why?

  • 2009 Mac Pro no audio out from Line Out and/or Digital Out.

    Hey guys, I recently bought a new tv which has an optical input and thought I'd buy an optical cable to connect it to my Mac Pro's (4.1 model 2009 I believe) digital out port which I have never used before .
    The issue I'm facing since is that I can't get out from my mac pro to my tv. I also bought a cable to direct sound from my mac pro's line out, to my tv's red/white stero audio ports.That didn't work either.
    When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out while when I switch to line out output I can control volume but no audio is coming from my TV.
    I've been searching on forums and didn't find any relevant answer so if someone knows what may cause this that'd be really helpful.
    *ALSO: I've got windows 8 instaleld on my mac pro as well. The digital out doesn't work there as well although the line out does send sound to the TV.
    ** I also have soundflower installed and perian although I don't think any of them would mess things up like that.
    Do you think this is a problem with my Mac or is this a common Mavericks issue (sorry forgot to mention I'm on 10.9.2)
    Many Thanks,
    Thanos.

    When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out
    That's normal.  Is the correct audio input selected on the TV?

  • Recording from LINE-IN problem

    Hi at all,
    I have a problem with recording input audio coming from LINE-IN of my pc.

         at entrypoint.MainEntry.main(MainEntry.java:73)I don't understand why ? I don't know if I must specify explicitly     the line port but I don't know how to build TargetDataLine object.
    Please help me I'm in trouble.

    Thanks for the reply..
    I read the article and followed the example...but, I get:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No line matching interface TargetDataLine supporting format PCM_SIGNED 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, 4 bytes/frame, little-endian is supported.
         at javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem.getLine(AudioSystem.java:459)
         at entrypoint.MainEntry.main(MainEntry.java:133)Is there a way to list all available audio formats ? I wonder that does not exist a simple method to get them.
    Follow my code taken from above example:
                   File outputFile = new File("audios/linein-rec.wav");
                   AudioFormat recordingFormat = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, 44100.0F, 16, 2, 4, 44100.0F,
                             false);
                   DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,
                             recordingFormat);
                   TargetDataLine recordLine = null;
                   try {
                        recordLine = (TargetDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
                        recordLine.open(recordingFormat);
                   } catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
                        System.out.println("unable to get a recording line");
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        System.exit(1);
                   adjustRecordingVolume();
                   AudioFileFormat.Type fileType = AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE;
                   KokRecorder recorder = new KokRecorder(recordLine, fileType, outputFile);
                   recorder.start();
                   System.out.println("Recording...");
                   try {
                        Thread.sleep(5000);
                   } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
                        e1.printStackTrace();
                   recorder.stopRecording();
                   System.out.println("Recording stopped.");
         public static void adjustRecordingVolume() throws Exception {
              Port.Info recPortInfo = new Port.Info(Port.class, "Capture", true);
              Port recPort = (Port) AudioSystem.getLine(recPortInfo);
              setRecControlValue(recPort);
         private static void setRecControlValue(Port inPort) throws Exception {
              inPort.open();
              Control[] controls = inPort.getControls();
              for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) {
                   if (controls[i] instanceof CompoundControl) {
                        Control[] members = ((CompoundControl) controls).getMemberControls();
                        for (int j = 0; j < members.length; j++) {
                             setCtrl(members[j]);
                        } // for int j
                   } // if
                   else
                        setCtrl(controls[i]);
              } // for i
              inPort.close();
         private static void setCtrl(Control ctl) {
              if(ctl.getType().toString().equals("Select")) {
                   ((BooleanControl)ctl).setValue(true);
              if(ctl.getType().toString().equals("Volume")) {
                   FloatControl vol = (FloatControl) ctl;
                   float setVal = vol.getMinimum() + (vol.getMaximum() - vol.getMinimum()) * 0.8f;
                   vol.setValue(setVal);
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can't record sound from DVD player

    I just built a new DAW with a Gigabyte MoBo that has the Realtek sound chip on board. I installed an M-Audio external Fast Track Pro connected to the computer with USB 2.0. With the two sound devices I can play Band in a Box (my main band) through the Realtek and out put to my mixer. I then use my Line 6 Pod XT as a preamp to my guitar that also goes to my Behringer mixer. I connect the main out (R&L) from the mixer to the 1 and 2 inputs on the M-audio. I set Audio Hardware setup in AA3 to use the M Audio device for input and am able to record mixer output to tracks in AA3. I tried several configs and this is the only one that I found that works. All is good so far.
    I installed a SATA DVD player (Lite on 24x) that works fine, but it plays through the M-Audio via USB, bypassing the Realtek chip, and the sound does not show up in AA3. I'm thinking I need to route the DVD output to the mixer to use the channel that is already set up. I've been trying to output the DVD player through the onboard Realtek but can't find any way to direct it to do so. I don't necessarily need it to play through the Realtek, but I want to be able to record from the DVD player.
    So, does anyone have any idea how to direct the output of the DVD player to the sound card of choice? I'm stumped.

    Eric,
    Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
    The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
    I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
    When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
    I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

  • Macbook Pro recording sound from external radio

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how I can record an external digital radio with my Macbook Pro. As a backgrounder, I am able to do it on my old white Macbook because it has a line-in port, so I just connect a 3.5mm cable from the radio to the Macbook and then I have software (Audio Hijack Pro) to hijack and record it.
    However, as we all know, the new Macbook Pros have done away with the line-in port. And the Sound options in System Preferences don't seem to have a function allowing me to fiddle with the headphone port (apparently, earlier models had a function in System Preference that allowed you to turn the headphone port into line-in) but this new model doesn't have that option anywhere.
    So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether the USB ports or even Thunderbolt can RECEIVE sound from an external device such as a digital radio. I have seen cables that are 3.5mm to USB so I think getting the cable to connect the radio to the Mac is possible, but will it actually receive the sound or just do nothing? Or is there some other way I can record an external device I'm not thinking of, bearing in mind I don't want to use the Mac's microphone to do it, as I will of course get all other ambient sound in the room at the time, and I don't want to rely on an internet stream of said radio.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    What if it was a digital radio, would that make things easier by way of using just a 3.5mm to USB cable? Especially because a quick search of a USB Audio Interface brought up some expensive results.
    Also, as a possible alternative, after some extensive research online, I've found an iMic USB Audio Device by Griffin that is essentially an adaptor with a USB cable on one end and a Line In port on the other, thus allowing me to connect a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable from the digital radio to the adapter, and then the adapter goes into the MBP USB port. It's on Amazon and it claims to function as a way to plug microphones and other external audio equipment to it. It seems pretty straightforward, which sometimes has me thinking it's too good to be true.
    The output from your radio is analog, regardless of whether the radio is 'digital' or not.
    You need a USB audio interface. The iMic is a USB audio interface.

  • My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers.  when I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay.  How can I get internal speakers back.

    My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers.  When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay.  How can I get internal speakers back.

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a 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.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
