RCrackling when recording "What U Hear" in WaveStudio7 (SB X-Fi Titanium)

Hi, I hope you can help, I recently purchased and installed a Creative SB X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series souncard (driver version: 2. 7. 7), I am running Windows 7 64bit.
Playback is fine, however, when I try to record "what u hear" in WaveStudio 7, there is a distinct crackling when the recording is played back (it also appears in the waveform).
Does anybody know the solution?
Thanks.

V The last two Titanium drivers are meant to have a built in workaround to compensate for problems with the Nvidia/Creative crackling issue. Be sure to update to the newest of those. Also, be sure to grab your newest motherboard chipset drivers and update those as well. For a good while, the NFORCE drivers had not changed so if you have an NFORCE chipset, you should find some now. Also, Intel has issued newer drivers for their boards as well.

Crackling when recording "What U Hear" (SB X-Fi Titanium)

I posted this question a while back but was given no solution and so decided to wait a few months to see if any future driver updates fixed the problem. However, after having tried again today I still have the same problem and so I am forced to ask again!
I have the Creative SB X-FI Titanium installed, however when I try to record playback of sound via the "What U Hear" option I am left with a poor result. The recorded sound is glitchy, crackling like a dusty record.
How can I solve this problem? Clearly it isn't a small problem and having waited 6 months for a fix I would have expected Creative to have come up with something!
Here is an example of the result: http://soundcloud.com/jonny-hayes/soundblaster-crackling
Thanks.

Johnny,
Thanks for the reply.
I have the X-Fi Titanium installed on a test system. I am not getting any of this crackling sound. Do you hear crackling noise during the recording process?
There could be other factors that may contribute to the crackling noise. If you have not already done so, it would be advisable to contact our Customer Support for further assistance.

Record what you hear programs don't w

The Audigy ADVANCED MB output works great. But when I try to input sound from . . . the desktop I get nothing. I want to record, perhaps with the Windows Sound Recorder, the same sound that I hear on the speakers. However the Audigy, unlike previous Sound Blaster cards I've worked with, is requiring me to use a line in or a microphone. I've tried re-installing the drivers from the CD. It had no effect. I've tried a number of shareware and freeware programs, all with the same results. Any suggestions?

Same problem here:?I get the same exact deal and have found only the same solutions. Using my default playback driver (called Digital Audio Interface - SB Audigy) I simply can't record using the corresponding recording driver (called SPDIF-in)... I mean I get nothing out of that recording driver, even when I crank the record level. What gives? Back in the XP days we would just crank the stereo mix on the recording settings, hit record and call it good.
One thought I had was maybe because I have Win Vista 64 bit. *shrug*. I just think it shouldn't be this ridiculous to record what I hear. I mean do I need another card? I am using the Audigy SE. Frustrating!?I hope some solutions arise soon!!? Any insight?Cheers,?James

"Stereo mix" or record what you hear... Soundblaster u

With my onboard audio there is no "stereo mix" or record what you hear option in the recording control ...So when I am listening to an audio feed I can not record it with Adobe audition (as I can with another computer)
If I disable onboard audio and add a sound blaster 24 USB card will I have that function?Message Edited by k2koq on 0-22-200707:49 PM

I will answer my own question:
Just got the Blaster Li've 24 USB..
Installation...easy
sound ...excellent
Does it record what it hears..YES!
thank you soundblaster.

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

Recording What You Hear

Does anyone know if there is a way to record what you hear with Audtion 3? I recently upgraded from Audition 1 when I upgraded my pc and os. I would like to be able to record streaming sound from the internet. I am using Vista (32 bit) and Windows 7 (64 bit)on the two computers that have Audtion 3 installed. Thanks for you input. This question seems to be unaswered on the internet.

Actually, there's discussion about this all over the Internet.
The problem is your move to Vista and Windows 7
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

Need to record what I hear from speakers with other program

I need to record what I hear with a program that can record a programs video and audio.
Is there any way to set speakers as the recording source, instead of mic, or can I set it to both speakers and mic?
If not, then we need an upgrade to our audio mixer that allows this to be done so we can use programs like Snagit or Camtasia to record our music programs playing. The way it is now, I can only set the mic as the recording source, so I miss the audio the program is playing but get the video of the program playing it.

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

Record what you hear with X-Fi on Win 7?

I searched around and still have a problem with this.
I've tried both the Windows Update driver and the Creative driver from the Soundblaster X-Fi Support page.
Neither have given me the option to enable "Stereo Mix" or "wave Out" or anything to enable me to Record what I hear through my speakers. (In control panel > sound > right click "show disabled devices" nothing shows up but "Auxiliary")
This used to work fine on XP before I upgraded to Win7. Now I can get it to work...any other ideas besides the ones I've tried already? Thanks.

, I've got this same issue as well. I'm on 2.7.007 drivers in windows 7 64 bit and I don't have any of the options for recording speaker sound. It's a little disappointing. I spent years on a generic integrated sound card and could do this any time I wanted. I upgrade to a titanium x-fi card and love the sound, but I miss those abilities.

Record what you hear

I have a Pavillion DV8-1250EA 4 GB RAM 2x320 GB Discs which has an IDT HD Audio device and uses the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
I want to knwo how to record audio internally (e.g. audio played from the Internet).
I am able to do this on my desktop which has a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card and runs Windows XP Professional 32-bit by recording "What You Hear".
It seems just a little bit of an oversight to have omitted this functionality on such a powerful and feature-packed system designed for multi-media.

I do run Audacity and I have tried to use this to record "What You Hear" on the HP Laptop. The only recording device shown in Audacity is Master. If I try to use this to record, it only picks up inputs from the inbuilt microphone and the externl microphone, if attached. Any sound coming out of the speakers is picked up by the inbuilt microphone and can be recorded in this way but that is, obviously, not satisfactory.
Another method would be to cable the earphone output to the external microphone input and disable or mute the built-in microphone. Again, this is hardly satisfactory.
I would have expected the audio detected internally to be available for recording, which it is not because I do not believe the IDT HD drivers present it.
In desperation, I have contacted IDT directly.
This is the sort of thing I have taken for granted, having had an excellent sound system on my desktop for years. It seems that Soundblaster takes some beating, both in terms of quality and technology. Perhaps HP would do well to consider this.

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

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.

Windows7 64 bit and Audigy 2 choppy sound while recording what you hear

Driver version I have currently installed 6.0..37 I tried to record off youtube in "What You hear" while using Wavelab5 mode and the sound is very choppy, I tried every setting I could think of but am unable to record, I managed to get one recording but tnext one with same settings is coming up rearry choppy. Another problem when browsing the support I click on "If your product is not listed above, please click here" I choose Audigy-->Audigy2 but I get nothing in the next window, I tried on FF and IE8 but nothing populates in the next field, found another way to get to the drivers but when I choose Windows 7 64 bit and choose drivers it takes me to the main support page here <a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/welcome.aspx"]http://support.creative.com/welcome.aspx[/url]
I am on:
Intel Q2600
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6
2 x 2GB DDR2 - 800 CL4 Ballistix
Windows7 Ultimate 64 bit
Kaspersky Internet Security 200.
All current Windows7 updates are installed.
Oh yeah I can hear music (mp3, avi, youtube or any online source) no problem in either winamp, WMP2 or in Wavelab5 while monitoring. It's only the recording that is giving me trouble.

<div class="DownloadDate">"Release date : 3 Jul 09<div class="DownloadShortDesc">This?download is a?driver providing Microsoft? Windows?7, Windows Vista? and Windows XP support for Creative Sound Blaster? Audigy? series of audio devices. For more details, read the rest of this web release note."?
Right where do I start...... I got the latest drivers installed, "What You Hear" was working for about oh four recordings then stopped and back to choppy recorded sound, I went through alll options and nada. So I downloaded Audacity to see if this was a problem with Wavelab and re-tried. Well same thing choppy sound and even rebooting did not help. So I will be taking EVERYTHING!!!!!! CREATIVE off my machine, if these idiots cannot be bothered to release drivers that work then I'm going elsewhere. My music creating will have to be put on hold, my 22m will still have to sit in it's box.
Creative you are all a bunch of ?$"?%$%" idiots period. You have ALWAYS (till now in my case anyway) had good drivers. Even though Windows 7 has been in RC for ages you (absolutely missed that boat, hell you didn't even get up to try to catch it) cannot be bothered to write drivers that work and your idiotic half cooked attempts at customer service to give your bread and butter (that's right your customers who keep you in business) solid drivers are an absolute joke. YOU CAN KISS MY SHINY METAL HINEY!!!!! (thanks Bender lol). I am going to my onboard drivers. Thanks Creative (the name "creative" is kind of contradiction in itself, you should look up the meaning of the word lol). Oh and I will be advising EVERYONe who thinks of upgrading to Windows7 to avoid Creative hardware.

Audio Recording "What you Hear" not available!

I have recently assembled my system with MSI-X58-PRO-E. And installed Windows 7.
When I tried to record audio that is playing on my system, the "What you Hear" option could not be selected in Audacity. Or any other recording software.
Is this because of Realtek drivers? Could this be solved by installing new drivers, or I have to buy a discrete sound card?!?!!!
Any help is appreciated...

thanks for suggestion, will try it and post thje results soon.

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?

Cubase/Audigy 2 prob: How do I turn on "Record What U Hear" function?

I'm not sure if I phrased that question right but apparently someone is telling me that I need to turn that function on in my Audigy 2 to get my wavetable synths to transfer to WAV files when I export in Cubase.
I looked in the mixer and saw the volume control but is that all I need to do? Is there something else?
Thanks!

Does this need to be done in this way on Cubase?
You can turn "What U Hear" ON on
- Creative Surround Mixer --> select .rec source by pressing the icon above the recording level slider
and on
Windows Record Controls (volume) --> by slecting (check box below level slider) the "What U Hear" -channel
NOTE: When you are using native ASIO or WDM/KS drivers --> recording controls are bypassed (i.e. recording source selection on surround mixer doesn't affect).
You may need to switch the drivermode 1st to something other (WDM, MME, DS, maybe ASIO multimedia) to get WUH working (never tried this by myself). On Windows registry, there is "SB AUDIGY ASIO WUH [xxxx]" driver listed (I assume th WUH means "What U Hear"), but I have not seen it listed in any application I've tried/using.

Not knowing your complete operating enviroment...one suggestion is to make sure you disable audio in bios if you have an embedded audio chip on your motherboard.
