No 'What U Hear' or 'Wave/Mp3' inputs in Windows 7 64bit (SB Audigy 24bit)

After trying out various driver versions, checking to see if the inputs were disabled/hidden, and other wise being irritated at my lack of success, I'm turning here for help in getting this issue resolved. For some reason, I can't seem to find a 'What U Hear' or any equivalent input selection. I purchased my Audigy with the use of such a function high on my list... is there any way to get this functionality enabled and/or restored? I'd hate to have to go back to XP and use my (far older) Soundblaster Li've! card just to record gameplay footage, and I do admit I bought the card under the assumption that it would carry this feature.

NI'll give them a try and post back here with the results - am I correct in assuming the driver pack you speak of is located here? If so, another post by daniel says specifically that his pack doesn't enable the feature, but I'm going to try anyway.
EDIT: Nope, no luck, didn't enable the feature.

Audigy board is recording in mono when using "what you hear" or "wave" m

I have an Audigy SB394 EAX HD Sound card, Model SB0090. I've installed the latest drivers with XP Pro, and the card runs just fine for games and such. However, when I try to record with it using "Wave" or "What You Hear" mode, it comes out sounding like it's in mono mode. My sound and music is not playing in mono, so why would it be recording that way?Message Edited by vonshep on 02-26-200805:42 PM

0404 USB - Record "What U Hear" / from WAV / AVI etc...

Hi, on any dinky onboard soundcard you can easily internally record the audio from a video file being played back with programs like soundforge.
But apparently, on my $260 EMU 0404, the task is nearly impossible.
I've read that "Patchmix" will do the trick, but the program will not install, citing that "Setup has not found any supported hardware."
Does anyone know how to get around this? Emu told me I have to set my recording destination to "Wave L/R" but there is no Wave L/R available, just Analog A/B and SPDIF.
Thanks an advanced,
EDIT:
Is "Patchmix" only for PCI versions of the 0404?

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.

X-Fi "What U Hear" and 24

I have X-Fi Xtreme Music, latest drivers, Windows XP SP2. When I save sound through "What U Hear" into WAV-file, all going OK before I try to save stereo WAV-file with 24 bit and 96 KHz. When I save stereo 24 bit 96 KHz file, I receive empty WAV file with straight line, no sound. In any other settings all working perfectly (even in mono 24/96), but I want maximum quality and can't got it Message Edited by Twinsen on 09-2-2006 02:35 PMMessage Edited by Twinsen on 09-2-2006 02:35 PM

What're you using to save the wave file? Mebbe the application doesn't understand 96 kHz wave data?
Does the problem occur if you save to wave at 96 kHz with Mediasource player?

Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum + What You Hear

Hi All,
I'm looking into picking up a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum or the X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series card... However after recent frustration loosing the "What U Hear" option on a old Audigy SE running under Windows Vista, I am a little unsure!
My question is: Do the X-Fi Platinum or Fatalty Champion Series cards have the "What U Hear" recording option like it did with previous older Creative cards? *I am now back using Windows XP*
Also, are the 2 mentioned X-Fi cards much cop when it comes to music production?
Many thanks

Well looking over [url="http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/multimedia/display/creative-soundblaster-xfi.html">here[/url]?you see the Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Sound Card Family Review.
Note...[*]ASIO 2.0 support at 6-bit/44.kHz, 6-bit/48kHz, 24-bit/44.kHz 24-bit/48kHz and 24-bit/96kHz with direct monitoring.<?
ASIO 2.0 seems a different ball game all together.
We know that not all those card will NOT give you What U hear in Vista, so I think it's bad to get the terms confused.
You can find the same on some USB eternals as well, and I've yet to see one than that can do mix (What U hear)
I?suggested to?creative in another thread if they could supply this information rather than let someone buy the card to find out it doesn't.
Worth noting that creative have stated what cards can do What U hear in Vista tho.
The What U Hear recording option is supported in Windows Vista for Sound Blaster X-Fi series (Excluding Extreme Audio series) and Sound Blaster Audigy series (excluding Sound Blaster Audigy LE, SE, and Audigy Value).
Some of those card will with older drivers though.
This whole Stereo mix thing has become a total sham, and is not provided on most new laptops with vista and creatives external solution ( X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook) doesn't give it in Vista but it does XP but you CANNOT do voice over music with it as you have mic control and it mutes the mic.
I suppose it depends what we use mix for though....some people just want it to record from the web, so they are not bothered about the mic, but if you want to do voice over music (karaoke or DJ) it's no good.
I could give you a link to a forum where people are cursing the lack of mix, and I can see it getting worse as people get new PCs with Vista on.
Sorry I went off topic, but I needed a vent over this as I often get asked by people "what should I buy" and I can't find the answers!
Come on Creative!!!!![/list]

Mac output as input in LE8 ? ("What you hear")

I'm a new user, upgraded from Garageband 09, but am a previous cakewalk user from my Windows era. Back in windows, on my XFI audio card there was an option to use the actual output of the PC as an input somewhere in one of the audio programs. It was called "What you hear".
So i'm wondering is this possible on the mac, through the bus settings or something? So what i mean is, whatever is coming Out to the speakers can be routed as an input to be recorded. So if i have a youtube or video in a browser or some audio from another program it can be recorded directly into Logic.
Any ideas?

With programs like Soundflower (http://www.cycling74.com/products/soundflower) or JackOSX (http://www.jackosx.com/) you can route any audio input to any audio output.
But this is not the right solution for your needs......
The best way is to download the videos and extract the audio track from them.
To do this you'll have to buy a Quicktime Pro license and install these free apps:
1. Firefox with a plugin called Video Download Helper (to download the videos from youtube etc.)
2. Perian (to manage several audio format)
3. Flip4Mac free (to read WMV files).

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.

Recording what you hear on the comp

Well I got cubase but everytime i export the song the sounds are all different and ultimately the song sounds completely different then it was on the program, and even if i figured out how to fix this, i still have the problem of converting it a different format. So, instead of doing the two i was hoping to see if there is any way i can record what i hear on the computer. I tried and i didnt find a way and hoping someone here could guide me... i got an Audigy 2 Value and Windows XP if that is of any help. It be very appreciated if someone could help me. Thanks

which version of cubase are you using? as i dont use the home pakages im not 100% on if evertythings the same but im sure this will be! what export function are you using? and what is the input channel selected recording in the computers audio devices! if you select the input as waves that might help the "what you hear" recording outside of cubase.
use said you are using only midi files i agree with jutapa about using the vsti's if you read the cubase manual you will find that it mentions something about not being about to mixdown outside midi functions with out syncing the device cubase or something along those lines!
i didn't pay all that much attention as it's never been a problem for me!
here the part of the manual on mix down
The Export Audio Mixdown function in Cubase SX/SL allows you to mix
down audio from the program to a file on your hard disk, in a number of
formats. You can choose to mix down one of the following:
An output bus.
For example, if you have set up a stereo mix with tracks routed to a stereo output bus,
mixing down that output bus would give you a mixdown file containing the whole mix.
Similarly, you can mix down a complete surround bus, either to a single multi-channel
file (interleaved) or to one file per surround channel (split).
The channel for an audio track (Cubase SX only).
This will mix down the channel for the track, complete with insert effects, EQ, etc. This
can be useful for turning a number of events into a single file, or if you are using CPUintensive
insert effects – by exporting the track and re-importing it into the project you
can turn off the insert effect, saving processor power.
Any kind of audio channel in the mixer (Cubase SX only).
This includes VST Instrument channels, effect return channels (FX Channel tracks),
Group channels and ReWire channels. There are many uses for this – for example, you
can mix down an effect return track or turn individual ReWire channels into audio files.
Notes
The Export Audio Mixdown function mixes down the area between the
left and right locator.
When you mix down, you get what you hear – mutes, mixer settings
and insert effects are taken into account.
Note though that you will only include the sound of the bus or channel you select for
mixdown.
here's the bit okay seems you can't record midi in the mix down at all you have to record it like a normal audio file first. that's just with the record button on to a normal audio track you'll have to figure out how to get your midi to feed through into cubase
the way i do it is only leave the information out to the midi device plugged in and then plug the analog out put of the device into the input that cubase will record this will make sure cubase records the file as an audio file with out getting a cross over of the midi information being sent(i hope that makes sence some times i can make a muddle of explaining things). there are other ways to do this but this ways nice and simple and lazy! and works just aswell as any other.
MIDI tracks are not included in the mixdown!
To make a complete mixdown containing both MIDI and audio, you first need to record
all your MIDI music to audio tracks (by connecting the outputs of your MIDI instruments
to your audio inputs and recording, as with any other sound source).
With Cubase SX, you can also export selected tracks – this is a different
function that doesn’t create an audio mixdown.
Rather, this is a way to transfer complete tracks (including clips and events) from one
project to another
i left everything else in just in case you wanted to check through it!
1. Set up the left and right locator to encompass the area that you want
to mix down.
2. Set up your tracks, so that they play back the way you want.
This includes muting unwanted tracks or parts, making manual mixer settings and/or
activating the R (Read) automation buttons for some or all mixer channels.
3. Pull down the File menu and select “Audio Mixdown…” from the
Export submenu.
The Export Audio Mixdown dialog appears.
The upper half of this dialog is a standard file dialog, while the lower
half contains file format options and settings for the mixdown function.
Note that the available settings and options differ depending on the
selected file format
Select the bus or channel you want to mix down with the Outputs popup
menu (with Cubase SL you can only export busses, not channels).
This lists all output busses and channels in the active project.
5. Select the channel configuration for the mixdown file with the
Channels pop-up menu.
Typically you would select the same channel configuration as the bus or channel you’re
mixing down, but it’s also possible to e.g. mix down a stereo bus to a mono file. In this
case a warning will appear, asking if that’s what you want to do.
Here you will also find the “N. Chan. Split” and “N. Chan. Interleaved” options – these
allow you to create a surround mixdown file, either as one mono file per surround channel
– split – or as a single multi-channel file – interleaved (Cubase SX only).
The Channels pop-up and the “N. Chan” options are only available when
an uncompressed file format is selected (AIFF, uncompressed Wave,
Wave64 or Broadcast Wave).
For the other formats you can select stereo or mono using controls that are specific to
each format. When mixing down to 5.1 Surround, you also have the option to mix down
to Windows Media Audio Pro (Windows and Cubase SX only) – see page 670.
6. Select a file format with the File type pop-up menu.
7. Make additional settings for the file to be created.
This includes selecting sample rate, resolution, quality, etc. The available options depend
on the selected file format – see page 660.
8. If you want to automatically import the resulting audio file back into
Cubase SX/SL, activate the “Import to” checkboxes.
If you activate the “Pool” checkbox, a clip referring to the file will appear in the Pool.
Activating the “Audio Track” checkbox as well will create an audio event that plays the
clip, and place it on a new audio track, starting at the left locator.
The Import options are only available if you have selected an uncompressed
file format (AIFF, uncompressed Wave, Wave64 or Broadcast
Wave files).
9. If you activate Real-Time Export, the export will happen in real time, i.e.
the process will take the same time as regular playback.
Some VST plug-ins require this to have time to update correctly during the mixdown –
consult the plug-in manufacturers if uncertain.
CUBASE SX/SL
Export Audio Mixdown 27 – 659
When Real-Time Export is activated, the exported audio will be played
back on the Audition bus.
The fader below the Real-Time Export checkbox allows you to adjust the volume of the
Audition bus.
10.If you activate Update Display, the meters will be updated during the
export process.
This allows you to check for clipping, for example.
11.Select a folder and a name for the audio file to be created.
With some file formats you can create split stereo files (see page 661).
This will create two files (one for each side) with the same name, but
with the letter “L” appended for the left channel file and “R” for the right
channel file.
In the same way, split multi-channel (surround) files (Cubase SX only) will have the
same name followed by a number indicating the surround channel.
12.Click Save.Depending on the file format, an additional dialog may appear.For example, when exporting to MP3 format a dialog appears where you can add infoabout the song title, artist, etc. Make the desired
settings and click OK to proceed.A dialog with a progress bar is displayed while the audio file is created.If you change your mind during the file creation, you can click theAbort button to abort the operation.if you
have activated any of the “Import to” options, the file will be importedback into the project.When playing back the re-imported file in Cubase SX/SL, remember to mute the originaltracks so that you really hear the true result.
hope thast helps

"what you hear" playing all the t

I have a onboard soundblaster 24-bit li've. I am not sure exactly what the problem is, but whenever I use a mic I can always hear the background system sounds of my computer on top of my voice (ex. system ding, and music I am playing). I found it hard to believe that my mic was picking it up. So I turned down my speakers and played a sound file on my computer while recording it with "sound recorder" (the basic one that comes with windows). and sure enough even though I turned my speakers off it still played through.
Looking for a solution as I use voice communication software almost daily to coordinate with project leaders. It is very annoying not being able to hear anything without it being echoed back to them.
I hope this post makes sence to you as I am not all that versed in english =(.
Thanks in advance for your help
Edit: just realized I should probably add the fact that I do have "mic" checked under recording devices and not "what you hear"Message Edited by Spyder226 on 08-30-2006 07:24 PM

In order to hear people talking I will need my wave output unmuted...
so I dont think this will work.
As for that yes, It does not record anything (sndrec32) when I play music or something but then again I cannot hear anyone so it somewhat defeats the purpose. Let me take another crack at explaining this
Example:
) I will connect to ventrilo while playing music on my headphones.
2) I will then try and talk to my team leader by pressing PTT (push to talk hotkey). When I press this key, he will hear all of my music as well as my voice all at once. So it makes it very hard to understand me.
3) Once I turn off the music he can hear me ok again, but every little system sound that occurs he can hear at double the volume.
Also just to clarify, I only have the microphone input selected in recording and I have all the playback selections muted except for "wave" and "playback"Message Edited by Spyder226 on 08-30-200608:22 PM

"What You Hear" Not work

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?

SB Xi-Fi gaming - x64 vista - EAX console software / "what u hear" ?

Greets,
I'm looking for the software that installs the EAX console, along with the "what u hear" input/recording options. I have the original driver installation cd - but for XP 32bit only, and I'm running vista64 currently. In the past, I downloaded this off the product support page, but the recent drivers I found there are driver only, and some watered-down options software.
The package I'm looking for included 3-5 pieces of software, of which the EAX console was one. Creative WAV studio was another. I don't recall the others.
Namely, I'm trying to find the components that allow me to record "what u hear" speaker output, as I hear it, and additionally reroute speaker output as line-in/mic input.
The BadBoy iso backup links don't resolve any more, not sure where else to find these.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The EAX Console is something that's bundled in Audigy cards.
Which X-Fi card do you have exactly, SB X-Fi XtremeGamer?

"What U Hear" Capable/Uncapable Car

?I am curious as to which Sound Blaster Cards allow for the function of the "What U Hear" recording option. The two cards that i've owned with this capability are the:SB Li've! 5.SB Audigy Gamer?I've heard the SB Audigy 2 and 4 have this capability as well. However the SB Audigy cards included in laptops such as the Dell XPS M20 do not have the option for "What U Hear". The External MP3+ didn't have this capability either. Do the PCMCIA cards have this option? Does the Xi-Fi have "What U Hear"? Is Creative slowly getting away from the "What U Hear" with?new and future?products? And i'm wondering if it is just the driver that is restricting these "other" integrated audigy, external cards the ability to use "What U Hear" and whether Creative is able to write drivers for them that will work. Or whether these soundcards just weren't build to support it. Are there also any other brands of SoundCards that support recording what you hear from the speakers? Such as M-Audio's Revolution 7. Or other brands?Thanks,Ryan

A similar feature has been around ever since the SoundBlaster 6 Vibra (oldest I recall, but even the AWE32 could "record itself"), although the on-board mixer was part analog, part digital.
In any case, AC'97 cards usually have a "Wave out mix" or "Stereo out mix" which is the equivalent to "what you hear", and some have a "Mono out mix" as well, although I have no idea who could find that useful.
The mixers on modern cards, even on onboards/codecs operate entirely on digital data, so at least mixing "internal" sources like CD (DAE mode), MIDI an WAVE playback is not subject to analog noise. If you use analog sources too (line in, aux in, mic in etc.) then you must factor in any noise these may carry.
The quality of the digital mixing may also vary: some perform 24-bit or better precision mixing internally, regardless of the output format, while other may handle different sample rates in very different manners (from simple "value hold" to sinc interpolation). In any case, you DO get some form of "what you hear".

(X-Fi Xtremegamer) Recording two streams of audio simultaneously via "What U Hear"

Hello everybody.
I'm running Windows 7 32bit and have downloaded and installed drivers from creative download page.
Also performed an update. Integrated sound card (realtek high def) is disabled from BIOS. So my system
detects only X-Fi Xtremegamer.
I want to be able to record music in background and voice/guitar (input from FlexiJack) together.
Currently I have set "Audio Creation Mode" for my sound card and have chosen FlexiJack input to be a microphone.
So the problem is, when I set "What U hear" in windows recording devices as the default recording device, in idea it must record everything together. Audio being played in background and my voice over it from microphone alltogether.
The problem is, once I set "What you hear" as the default recording device, my microphone immediately goes into "currently unavailable" state. If I put mic back as defaul rec dev, it becomes active again. This is very very frustrating.
I know people here are pros who may have very sophisticated setups with all that MIDI controllers, routing etc. And you may tell me "So whats the problem, just set the music play on one channel of Audition for example and record your voice with mic as default recording device on the other one".
Yes it is a valid notice, but there are situations when I really need to record both, background music/sounds along with microphone input sound simultaneously. A good example is online karaoke site(s) who need both sound streams to be recorded simultaneously and in realtime.
Could anybody, please, give me an advise how to correct this problem? I don't want to throw away such a nice piece of hardware just because of this problem

Oh, boy... You have my sympathy with the 'What-U-Hear' thing...recording two audio streams at once (mic etc)...
I just upgraded my home studio system to a Win7 computer...I use SONAR to do my digital/MIDI work...
On my old WinXP machine (a Pentium 4 with 4 gig RAM), I had the luxury of actually being ABLE to record in 'What-U-Hear' mode...
I figured I needed a new soundcard with my new Win7...so I went out and bought the well-recommended M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI card...
Big mistake...I CAN'T record ANY 'What-U-Hear' streams at all!!...I wanted to tear out the new M-Audio card and plunk my trusty old Audigy 2 back in...but, the problem is not that Creative doesn't have Win7 drivers...it's that the SOFTWARE that came with it is largely useless according to the Creative site.
Funny, I transferred all my files from the old computer (including all the Creative apps) to the new Win7 computer, and guess what? Good old 'WAVE STUDIO' from 2001 - version 4:12:07 - works just fine (WITH the ****ed M-Audio card, too!)...
However, I STILL can't get the M-Audio 192 to do 'What-U-Hear' recording...!!
I wonder if I DID put the old Audigy in my new Win7 computer...would that most important bit of Creative software that I use all the time (Wave Studio)...work?
What a minefield!
But about your particular problem...I think it is something to do with memory addressing, that the mic won't work with other audio streams...
There is a program called 'DIGITAL CABLES' available on ZDNET for free download (costs $30 in full version) that is SUPPOSED to get around the 'What-U-Hear' problem...but, I'm afraid to screw everything up...since I use my system regularly to do work for my church choir...
cheers...

I have an HP Pavilion DV2278ea laptop running Vista 32bit and have all OS updates apart from those announced in the last few weeks. I recently upgraded the software for the Conexant High Definition onboard sound card to the latest August 08 version 4.36.7.60 C. All seemed fine until I came to do an audio capture from an internet stream using Roxio. The only capture device listed was the microphone - there used to be one that said Conexant Audio 'What you Hear' to capture anything heard through the speakers. On checking Sounds in Control Panel the only recording device is the microphone. Sound works okay from both the internal and external speakers. I've tried rolling back the drivers but its still the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Ok this has driven me mad for the last few days but I found the solution:
Windows Vista Recording Input Source selections for recording streaming audio, sound from media players or just about anything you can hear coming through your speakers are Hidden from view and Disabled by Default. (I'm sorry - but why!!?! )
If your sound card/system supports recording streaming audio Input Source selections such as: Stereo Mix, What U Hear, Wave Out Mix, Wave or a similar selection, here's what you need to do to Enable it for recording:
Right-Click on your Speaker Icon in your System Tray, (near your clock), select "Recording Devices".
In the Sound window that opens, near the top, select the "Recording" TAB.
Move your cursor down to where devices are shown.
Right-Click in the blank white area and select "Show Disabled Devices".
If supported, new selections will appear such as: Stereo Mix, What U Hear, etc. Right-Click on "Stereo Mix", "What U Hear" or similar and select "Enable".
Right-Click on the same item again and select "Set as Default Device". Click OK.
Now in the recorder's Options in the "Input Source" box, you should have the "Stereo Mix", "What U Hear" or similar source available to select for recording streaming, etc.
(You can also Enable other hidden selections like Microphone, Line In, etc. if they are not already shown).

No 'What U Hear' or 'Wave/Mp3' inputs in Windows 7 64bit (SB Audigy 24bit)
