Problems making audiotapes to .wav in SoundBlaster Live 5.1

I have done it several times with vinyls, but after I have moved I cannot make the setup.
I have put my taperecorder on the tape 2 on the amplifier (I have sound)
I have the line out (light green) from the card to the aux (I have sound)
I have the line in (light blue) from the tape 1 on the amplifier (I have no sound or signal nor using Audiograpper)
Can Anyone help me please. Maybe I miss a spidery somewhere. Is it possible that I blew the line, missconnecting?
Should I use wavestudio, recorder or what? Should I use the microphone line instead.

Now the time has come to make it work with my recordplayer, so I can get my vinyl into the pc. A new problem has occured:
The direct cable from the recordplayer to the soundcard gives a low signal, it's not equalized anywhere. What am I doing wrong now?
When I have the .wav in the wavestudio it's pretty low. Is it possible to pump it up inside the pc, maybe in Cool Edit Pro or something?
When you connect a record player directly into sound card --> you miss the RIAA "equalization fix" and preamplification! --> low recording level and wrong EQ.
You connect your record palyer normally into your Hi-Fi system.
If you connected your PC sound card through say "Tape 1" or "Tape 2" I/O (input/output) into your Hi-Fi system --> you can use your pc as a recorder directly (like it's just another cassette deck --> you can record vinyls with PC just the way you do when you record vinyls normally with your cassette deck).
If the signal level is still week
--> route your "line-out from casette deck" into "sound card line-in" and from "sound card line-out" to "amplifier tape 1 playback". You need now set the casette deck into recording state (set rec levels too) so the signal can go through the deck into the sound card.

  • Problem with DTT3500 soundset and onboard Soundblaster live! 24-bit

    Hi,
    I have bought a new PC with an MSI k8n sli platinum MB. this mainboard has a built in soundblaster live!24-bit chip onboard. it works great on headphones and normal 2 set speakers (analog connection).
    however, when I try to set them up at the DTT3500 speaker set, trouble begins.
    before continuing, just want to say First that my older PC is standing next to it, with a Soundblaster live! 5.1. If I connect with this PC to my speaker set, via the digital uitput, everythin works great. (5.1 surround).
    In the DTT3500 manual, when Digital DIN is blinking, it says it isn't recieving any signal, or not the right one (like AC-3). (I know this when on my old PC when I switch to headphones, the digital din is then blinking, which is normal as I disabled Digital output in Windows)
    now my questions:
    Is this digital port is ac-3 signal or somthing else on the Soundblaster live! 24-bit?
    Do I need to use another type of cable, like SPDIF Din Cable? (I now have a minijack to Din cable)
    I tried with optical, it works, but only with 2 speakers (left and right / digital output is on). is this normal? If i look at the manual, it's typical used for gameconsoles with stereo left and right. I guess this is so with the DDT3500 decoder...?
    if I try Digital Din on the Decoder, it doesn't work. the Decoder Led keeps blinking. Yet in Windows, digital output is on and 5.1 speakers is selected.
    In short, exact the same setup on the Decoder and PC as my older PC.
    My guess is the the soundblaster live! 24-bit is an enhanced version of the soundblaster live! 5.1? Am I wrong, I don't know....
    I do know that the reviews said you could use the digital port (orange one)
    here is a picture:

    I would apreciate any help, as i'm really stuck at the moment.

    does anybody use the soundblaster live! 24-bit to  power a surround speaker set? or is it just impossible? (for gaming)

  • ALsa + Soundblaster Live 5.1 + 5.1 Sound

    HI there!
    I finally bought a 5.1 Surround System today, but I have a major problem. Only the Subwoofer, Fron-Left- and Front-Right-Speakers are working, no Sound from Center, Surround-Left- and Surround-Right-Speakers
    Here is my modules.conf, Alsa-Page says it should work:
    # module : ALSA
    alias char-major-116 snd
    alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 snd_cards_limit=1
    options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="EMU10K1" snd_extout=0x1f0f

    And now my .asounrc
    pcm.emu10k1 {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.emu10k1 {
    type hw
    card 0
    I tried so much already and nothing works
    I played around with alsamixer and I finally got the Center-Speaker to work, but it just works instead of the Front-Left-Speaker. It really sucks.
    Maybe you can help me, it would be nice.

    i had some same issues , but i have soundblaster live 24-bit , but disabling the onboard bios didnt do anything for me , so i had to look for some ways to figure out how to fix this , * love thy google.com/linux *
    bash# speaker-test -c6 -t2 ( this is to test your surround speakers , providing your using ca0106 driver such as myself )
    if you only get a few channels you could also make your ~/.asoundrc file with some goodies in it  ill post a few examples i have found
    pcm.ca0106 {

  • SoundBlaster Live! 24 and Vista - Deteriorating Sound Qual

    I've recently upgraded to Vista Business, and my system informs me that except for the drivers for an ancient scanner all is working properly.
    When playing music (using a Creative SB Li've 24bit card with the most recent driver installed), all starts off well (in fact playback is better than under XP Pro) but the sound quality starts to deteriorate badly, especially when I open a browser. Quite often the browser itself seems to freeze.
    I have 3Gb RAM, with a 3.60Ghz P4 processor.
    Task Manager tells me that often I am running at 00% of CPU capacity, though the problem seems to occur at lower usage too.
    I've checked everything I know to check but just can't seem to get to the root of the problem. Can anyone suggest anything I should be looking at?

    Sadly no real progress.
    I simply pulled the Soundblaster Live 24 out of the computer and am using the onboard sound instead which at least for me Arch recognized just fine.
    I haven't been able to get any suggestions for why the Soundblaster was not working, but I am going to try another sound card a friend lent me and see what happens.

  • Problem making/receiving/disconnecting calls and p...

    I was looking for a new phone to replace my old Samsung Star, but I was unable to justify this expense. So, I saw Nokia Lumia 710 with it's GPS software and hardware as part of the package. Windows phone looks so beautiful that I just bought it last march, 23th.
    Now, verifying this forum I realize that my problem, some how, exists since January in Europe. As many people here I have problems to end a call, but in my case the call never completes and when I try to disconnect Lumia just does nothing beyond show "disconnecting" forever. The only way to recover control is turning Lumia off.
    Its true that my carrier has a very weak signal where I live (at my apartment), but my old Samsung at least make and receive calls. Some times I must move near to the window to have a better reception, but works. With Lumia, different from what I was expecting (a premium Nokia quality signal  - the best possible reception), some times just do not work! Some times people calls me and the phone do not ring. Some times I receive that screen offering me the opportunity to send a message like "I'm at a meeting" or something like that, but I do not have the opportunity to receive that call. This is very frequent since I bought this Nokia. Some times, when I make a call, Lumia pretend to call, pretend that the other person is connected, but, in fact, there is no calling sound. The phone remains mute all the time, there are no call. When I give up, I press "disconnect" and Lumia shows "disconnecting" but nothing happens. To recover phone control I must turn it off to try again. Once I was so angry that I press many buttons and Lumia freezes up completely and was needed to remove battery to turn off.
    About GPS, that was my main excuse to expend a lot of money on a new phone: Nokia Lumia GPS is disappointing. Lumia GPS looks like loose satellite signals very frequently. I decided to make a comparison between my Lumia and my wife's iPad. Working totally offline, side by side at my wife's lap, while iPad was able to show immediately every turn I make, Lumia takes long time to realize that. In fact, most of time, Lumia just realize that I turn when I was reaching next corner. I'm using Nokia drive 2 and, in this test, since I don’t have a GPS software at iPad, I just leave Lumia and iPad with the map showing our position. I do not set a destination.
    Finally, my last disappointment is about windows Phone and the “one account policy”. Really? They think people will be happy to give up from their messenger accounts or Xbox accounts to use Windows Phone? When I turn on my Lumia for the first time it asks me to enter or create a Microsoft account. I think about and I realize that I don’t want to add payment information to my very old Hotmail/messenger account, so, I create a new one. My mistake because soon I discover that Windows Phone do not let me choose a different account for Messenger or Xbox.
    I call Nokia in Brazil to find a solution for my two main problems: making/receiving calls and the GPS performance. The only solution they can think about was reset my phone. I do that a few hours ago. This time I choose to enter my Messenger account to be able to chat with my friends, but, of course, I loose my Xbox id created with the other account.
    “One account policy” is so “not smart” that is very hard to understand why they do that. The need to reset the device to choose another account is unbelievable. Mean while, with iPhone/iPad, to change accounts is so easy…
    I will test my phone for the next few days to verify if reset solve all my problems, but right now I’m very disappointed.
    (I hope you can understand my poor english).

    Reset Lumia 710 do not solved my problem. I was forced to send the device to technical support. Even if they was unable to reproduce the problems I faced at home, they did a flash reset (or something) and now my phone always ring when people call and I can end calls without a problem. For now those problems disappeared.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • SoundBlaster Live! 24bit & - defective line-in function

    3 of my Li've! 24bit cards had their Line-IN function terminate after about an hour of use. ? Another card never had a working line-in function. The output is not affected. The operating system is WinXP SP3. Cards work flawlessly in output mode. I had never tried to use the line-in function before now.
    I checked all connections & confirmed correct signal from my tape deck entering card. Everything works OK with on a computer utilizing another brand card.
    The problem has occurred on PCs with different motherboards. Everything looks OK in the software.
    I realize others have posted the same problem. I cannot find a posted solution. I would really like to find a fix or workaround. .
    I STUMBLED UPON THIS SOLUTION:? THE ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT WIN XP SCRAMBLES THE LIVE!24 SOUNDCARD SETTINGS WHENEVER YOU REBOOT.
    Go to the "Sounds and Audio Devices" section of Control Panel & click on the "Audio"? tab. Then change the recording settings from line-in to microphone. Next go to the "Playback" section & see that XP reset your settings & checked the mute box at line-in so? uncheck that box and the normal line-in function resumes? working. I don't know why this works but it has now worked on 3 different PCs including one with a Dell version of the Li've!24 card.You need to to this every time you reboot if you want to use the line-in function.

    Yes, I have repeated it several times now. It doesn't make sense to me to check "microphone" when you really want line-in but it [email protected]

  • Anyone else having problems making a hyperlink to a file in CS4?

    Anyone else having problems making a hyperlink to a file? 
    I have a document in CS4 that I'm exporting to pdf. When I create a hyperlink in CS4 to a file, I am getting the message when I click the link in the pdf ' Cannot find the file:C%5Document' etc. 
    When creating the link, File is selected, Shared Destination is unchecked & checking the link using 'Go to Destination' shows the link works. 
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, I've checked the properties of the link - when exported from CS4, the Link Properties - Actions are 'Open a web link' 'file:C:\Documents%20'etc whereas if the link is created in Acrobat the link properties are ' 'Open a file' 'file:C\Documents and Settings' etc, and it works. 
    Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    I'm only getting that to work with the catalogue & sample in the same folder. In any case from a useability standpoint using URL brings up the Security Warning & putting the catalogue pdf in the same folder as 100 sample pdfs makes it more difficult to locate.
    I'm at a loss to understand why the functionality of creating a link in InDesign cannot be the same as Acrobat; where you can select 'Open a file', browse to that file and the relative links are maintained when you burn to a disc. InDesign looks as if it will do the same but when you select File as the link & browse to the destination file but InDesign treats it as a URL & brings up the the web link cursor in the finished pdf. That still looks like a bug to me.

  • Soundblaster live gameport not working on k7n2 delta-L

    i have a k7n2 delta-L motherboard and i installed a soundblaster live sound card and can not get the game port to work at all. first i thought it was a bad card so i installed a different card and the same thing so ithen thought it was the game controller and tried a different one and it didnt work either . and yes i disabled the on board sound in the bios before installing the card. i have it in ide slot #3. seems to be the best to go with .i am running win 98 se. and all my drivers are up to date. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    fourhooffarms,
    In the BIOS Disable the onboard Realtek Sound and then put the Live! in PCI Slot 3 or 4, then set the IRQ of that Slot to IRQ5.
    Also list all your IRQs and every Device on each IRQ.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. Do list the specs on your Power Supply too.

  • Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300

    /Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300hI follow this procedure from the support page:
    http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=804
    I also have tried many other options and procedures, but each time the playlist that ends up on the player has only a few of the songs that I put on the play list. all the songs do exist on the player, but seems to randomly select only a small subset of the songs - example: 6 original, 2 get on the list, 30 on teh original, 6 get on the player's play list.
    The odd part is if I go back to the player at some later time and connect via creative central, the correct playlist displays on the PC. However, is still wrong (truncated) on the player. So it seems to remember the correct play list, but just does not display correctly on the player.
    PC OS - win7
    creative centrale version .8.03
    zen style 300 sw version: .0.07
    Anyone get this to work on the zen style 300?
    Norm

    ?After many attempts? (like 6) with creative support to convince them this was a software bug, the end state response was to send the player back. Using better judgement, I waited for a new software release and indeed the problem was fixed in a subsequent release of the software.
    My main frustration here was they seem to not want to escalate problems quickly to the right level of technical support that actually understands the software/debugging? vs hardware? and can look through a set of debugging steps and tests I sent in the first notes and realize it is not something hardware related. Even after citing my degrees in computer science/electrical engineering and having designed/debugged systems much more complex than this, all I got was simple procedural steps to repeat or send it back, it is a hardware problem. Ug!

  • Fixed my crackling, popping Soundblaster Live 5.1 Wi

    I have had just about all the bad things happen with my soundcard since my reformat of my computer last week. I wanted to do this because my speakers were crackling extremely bad in Half-Life 2. So bad , that I haven't gotten past the first level on this $90.00 Collectors edition game. Problems I ran into trying to install this card.
    . Downloaded Uni-driver pack from website= no soundblaster card found
    2. Using my original cd= mixer failed in creative diagnostics (2 other ones failed but I can't recall what they were)
    3. Using the CTzapp.exe ( not sure of the spelling) on the disk=hardware failed on creative diagnostics
    4. Used Kx drivers= sounded great but had a hard time adjusting mic for Teamspeak
    5. Install would get to 95% then reboot my computer for some reason
    6. Crackling sound in Half-Life 2 and in other games, etc.
    I think you are getting the picture. I used driver cleaner each time I tried something new. Installed drivers in safe mode. Tinkered with all the settings. Changed IRQ settings in Bios. Changed pci slot the card was in. Was about to give up, but I still had one more option left to try. My friend has a soundblaster Li've 5. card also. I thought I would try his cd. Guess what? It worked.
    I noticed during the install, his cd would get done installing the drivers and then it would say updating direct x drivers. Mine never got this far. Also his cd would get all the way done and then ask me to reboot. So I rebooted and low and behold, eveything works. All Creative tests pass, and everything seems good.
    Got to thinking, and looking. The uni-driver is dated Feb of 2003. The driver from my cd, when looking in device manager would say June ( 6th I believe) of 2003. His driver says August 28th, 2003. version 5.2..296. I think this is the driver people should try to find if they experience crackling or popping sounds. So far it seems to be working great. Half-li've 2 is crackle free, where as before my computer sounded like a bowl of Rice Crispies.
    Anyway I was wondering why the uni-driver is dated older than both drivers on our cds? Also is there a place where maybe users here can download the driver with the 5.2..296 version number on it's It worked great for me. Good luck out there.

    I've been struggling with Flash9d.ocx crashes and random BSODsfor a month or so now when playing online videos (youtube, etc) andwhen my daughter plays online flash enabled games. SometimesI've even had BSODs when the pc was just sitting there !!?Turns out the problem was due to a "bum" Soundblaster Li've! 24-bit"driver being distributed via Windows update. After a long night of disabling just about everything on the PCand then one-by-one re-enabling things, I have traced my problemto the SoundBlaster Li've 24-bit driver. I recently updated this driver via Windows Update to a version released in Jul-07(I forget the exact version number).
    When I dropped the driver back to the version which came on the OEM diskswith my PC, my problem cleared up. I. am now running version 5.2..35with a date of Jun-9-2004 without an issue. Hope this hel
    ps.
