Recording device error on DVD DL -HELP!

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

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

What should be the problem?

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

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

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

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

DVD Burning Error: Unknown device error. (0x73, 0x03.)

I have been trying to burn a home movie using iDVD. I transferred the media successfully to my computer, followed all the steps, and was finally ready to burn the DVD. After waiting almost an hour through the burn process, it spit the DVD back out of my Macbook Pro and gave me the following message.
*Errors were found during the burning process:*
*The recording device reported the media error: Unknown device error. (0x73, 0x03.)*
I don't really know what this means. Was the media corrupt? Or is there a problem with my DVD player? I have supplied my DVD and computer information below. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you in advance!

Using the same media I've used for years (Verbatim 4x InkJet printable) and all of a sudden can't burn from the internal drive. I do have an external burner (7 disc standalone replicator with USB/FireWire 400) and hooked that up and burned to a disc from the same spindle with no problem, and then made a 3x replicate with the same media. So it's looking like my MacBook Pro's drive is failing?
Laptop is plugged in and fully charged.

Device error during burning w/iDVD

Well, I spent some time learning about codec et al and was able to get a divx file to run on QT... movie looks good on MAC when running QT. I put into idvd and it also looked good as I ran it in preview. Spent several hours in burn process and at the end the dvd was ejected with below message. The dvd physically looks properly burned but it is not accepted by my dvd player... I've made many imovie projects that burned properly in idvd.
"The recording device reported the hardware error: No write current. (0x03, 0x01.)"

Rick,
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down. Select a burn speed. Your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
Use Verbatim DVD-R. Burn at 4X or slower. Office Depot and Best Buy carry them by me.

The recording device reported the illegal request: Unknown device

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

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

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

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

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

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

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

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

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

Problem with recording device

Try to use Echo/Sound test service, as well as a couple friends on the list and get the following message "Problem with recording device". I have also searched in the community, but found many issues releated, but no solutions that fit the problem. Headset: Turtle Beach XP SevenSkype Version: 6.22.81.105Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1; 64 - bit Tested in sound recorder, and records my voice, and able to playback and hear my horrible singing. I did find a rather odd way to resolve the issue temporarily. I also use hangouts from time to time, and when I start a video call, it will ring, and send out, and I can then call out using skype to a friend/sound test and it will work fine for the rest of the call. Able to talk, and do whatever. Unfortunatley, with the listed method above I have to repeat the process everytime I want to make a call, or accept someones call. Rather... Annoying. Any solution to this, or what can be causing this issue?

I suggest you download and install the latest generic Realtek audio drivers as they should be compatible with the computer model you listed in a previous post. I run a similar model to that one and have no issues with it. Skype is rather resource intensive on that netbook when participating in video calls due to the limitations of the processor and onboard video chipset. The latest generic Realtek audio drivers (Select "High Definition Audio Codecs" - 32 bit Windows 7)http://www.realtek.com/downloads/okay, i have pretty much given up trying to use Skype on this netbook but i came back to report the known data just in case anyone else might find it useful. to begin with 1) let's get this upfront. i am ignorant, ill-informed, tech-illerate and stupid. i stipulate to this going in. i've NO idea what the hell i'm doing. 2) hardware = ASUS eeePC1005HA, Win7Starter32, 1G DDR2, Intel Atom280, 250GHDD 3) per the above suggestion i went to the RealTek site and looked for the driver, but first 4) i had SlimDriver look around for me and it said there was a newer driver (i think dated 2011) which i had it download & install 5) so that didn't seem to make the slightest difference in Skype performance (i.e. none) so 6)as in (3) above i went to http://152.104.125.41/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false and it offered me 2 choices of sites from which to download Version R2.78 for 32bit Win7 so i picked one at random and it downloaded 2 files, 1 a .exe and the other a PART which i have no idea what the hell that is. i barely know enuf to double clic on the filename in WinExplorer Downloads so that's what i did first on the .exe file cuz that one had a file size greater than zero (unlike the PART file) and got an error message saying Win7 didn't know what to do with this file and could i please suggest a software to use on it. 7) so i deleted it and started over with the same result and then i repeated step 7) only this time i got only the .exe file in my Downloads folder and when i double-clicked it i actually got the Install Wizard to run. 9) so while the Wizard was running i went and looked in my "Windows 7 In Depth" by Cowart & Knittel and found nothing in the index under RealTek so i went and looked at Drivers and based on clues i found there i went to Control Panel ->Hardware & Sound -> Device Manager ->RealTek HD Audio [hidden under expandable Processors - Sound, Video & game conrollers]->(LeftClick to get Update Driver Software), and wait about a year and a half for 'Onliine Search for Software', followed by the message "the best driver software for your device is already installed". 9)so by this time the Install Wizard has finished Uninstalling the previous version of the driver and wants me to RESTART and that's right now in real time so i am now closing this browser and if i ever finish restarting i will continue this response in a new reply window starting with step (10), whatever that turns out to be. the suspense is killing me.

G560 - Recording Devices

Hi,
A month ago i got this computer. Since then, i have noticed some complications. There were two of them. The first was, that I had some problems with recording "What You Hear" trough Audacity. I thought it may be a software or compatibility error, but i have tried several versions of audacity and finally Adobe Soundbooth. Nothing worked. (Microphone was ok, but "What you hear" wasn't an available option) The second issue was with PunkBaster. I got kicked from a server within 5 minutes. (Unknown windows API function) I've tried to google this issue, and i have found out that it might have something to do with recording devices too.
To the point. When I open sound option, and go for "Recording" tab. I am not able to see any devices except Microphone, and Input (which is called also a "Microphone" from unknown reason) Even if i allow to show all devices ( by option "show disabled/unplugged devices")
All my drivers are up to date, and windows trobleshooter didnt help.
Thans for any help.
Lenovo g560
CPU: Intel I3-350M 2.26G
RAM: 4096M
OS: Win7 Home Premium
Graph. Card: NVIDIA GeForce 310M (512MB,DDR3)

As Al said, "Use your camera!"
When you are in the appropriate place shoot any old video. It doesn't matter what, as it is only the sound you are concerned with.
All good pro cameramen do this to get ambient sounds in case the editor later needs some audio to fill in gaps.
If you don't want to carry your camera, get one of those tiny Digital Voice Recorders (or Dictation Machines). They are about the size of a mobile phone and can take hours of recording using flash memory. If you get a good Olympus model for about £70 you will be able to plug in an external mike if you don't want to use the built-in ones.
The quality is excellent. Recently I saw a video where I thought the introducer was using a radio-microphone. Of course he wasn't - it was one of these devices.
