Recording distortion with IDT audio codec

I have 3 DV7s (2x 7250us, 1x 7259us). They all have the IDT codec (6.10.6418.0) installed. Using Windows Sound Recorder, recordings are badly distorted (sounds like old Single Side Band, but worse). I have tried the various versions of the codec and have reinstalled the previously referenced version to no avail. Recording is virtually useless. I have tried 3rd party recording software... useless. I have tried external mikes. Same results.
I need a codec that I can record with.

Hi Curt2020, welcome to the HP Forums. I suspect with multiple notebooks doing the same thing, that it is probably performing properly. I do not know of a CODEC that will improve your recording performance. I have found a few pages with various tips which may help.

No sound, probably due to IDT Audio Codec

There i s no sound at my laptop. The loudspeakers are on, Windows says they are working fine. All the volumes are high, sound is not muted etc. But I have no sound anywhere. I uninstalled the drivers on IDT Audio Codec, reset the values in my bios to their original ones (if they even weren't to start with). I have been running the audioplayback diagnosis from windows. Moved back to old version of my registry but nothing seems to work.
I went through this forum and did what some of the people adviced but still it is not functioning. Although windows says that IDT Audio Codec is working fine, I get an errormessage Not able to play test tone (or that is the translation from Dutch). Also Windows Media player doesn't work and lands me on the page with error C00D11B1. Also playing a DVD doesn't work. And when trying to update the IDT Audio Codec driver, it says it is up-to-date. Also put all the sound settings (like sound quality to standard settings).
I think that I removed the driver when cleaning up with CCleaner so that is probably the reason. Also after checking with this forum I launched two driverpackages SP59291 and SP6355 but unfortunately that they didn't work and they probably not the right version for my setup. Alhtough the letter of the two did bring back windows system signals during start-up etc. The current version of the driver is 6.10.6329.0. I checked the HP-website to find the specific version for my laptop but couldn't find it, anyone any idea what I could do? Many thanks!

Does version 12 support producing video clip with AMR audio codec?

From some documents i used as reference to proceude some videos for my phone Premiere Elements 8 can produce video clips with AMR audio codec. I bought today the Premiere elements 12 but I can not find a way to set AMR audio codec for my video clip. Only AAC audio codec seems available. Is it possible to add AMR codec to 12 version?

Neurona17
Adobe typically supports only current version, and, if you purchased from it, is strict on "within 30 days of purchase": for money back on that current version purchase. I do not believe such a thing as a "change the license for other earlier release such as 8 or 9" exists at Adobe. But, you could ask. If you wish to purchase one of those earlier versions that supports AMR export, you might still find some online.
Is the before import conversion of AMR to WAV a viable alternative?
You wrote
Unfortunately so far I have not been able to generate any useful video clip for my system with this 12 version.
Is this in regard to the AMR requirement or to any video without the AMR audio?
Online I have seen that there is a download for the AMR audio codec. Does your system now show that you have such a codec installed on your computer. If not, I am not sure if download of this codec would place it in the Premiere Elements Publish+Share export settings choices, similar to import of some .avi video codecs. (Sometimes 3rd party codecs can create problem, so proceed with caution if you pursue that AMR audio codec idea.
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Thanks.

Adobe premier cc stopped importing avi files with PCM audio codec, unsupported audio format

We were working just fine using Adobe premier pro cc, we captured videos in avi format video codec MJPEC audio codec PCM. Suddenly, I think after updating using cc, premier stopped importing any file giving the following Error message: The file contains an unsupported Audio format. We have captured more than 4000 hr from our library, and we are still capturing, our work is completlty freezed, we can not export to any format since we can not import in the first place. Our rivals in the market are taking our client and they are using old premier cs6 cracked version, this is ridiculous!! I installed adobe cs6 trial and it is working fine, this is very frustrating.
I tried to insert an image of what gspot is giving me but for a certain reason it is not uploaded. Please help.

Can't adjust recording level with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

I downloaded the appropriate driver for my M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface & everything looks fine... BUT I can't adjust the Recording level at all. I am not sure if this is an issue with the M-audio device, or garage band??? It is driving me crazy, since I just want to make some music and can't even hear what is being recorded. ???

Thanks, .... Yes to all of the above. I am wracking my brain & will call M-Audio tomorrow. Everything looks perfect on the interface & on garage band - but, even though the Fast track Pro shows up in my sound preferences & I can select it as the input & output source, etc., when I go to its window, even hooked up, it says no "device is not connected." Then it details that there are "no input controls" under sound in system preferences. I have two working usb cords & it does the same on either. I think this is the problem & have no idea how to fix it. I just want to plug it all in and record & have lost So much time . Hmmmmm???

Record desktop with split audio tracks?

Is there some program that can record the desktop, as well as multiple audio channels? I need to keep the audio channels split, so I can later individually mute them and edit them when I need to.
If there is no such application available for Linux, I guess the only option would be to record the audio separately. Feel free to suggest audio recording applications able to record multiple channels too. I'd prefer to have just one application handling both video and audio though, as that prevents any potential syncing issues.
Thanks in advance!

Presuming you have your audio devices configured as separate streams (be they jack, alsa or pulse) you can use ffmpeg via the command line to record desktop using the x11grab input source and then route as many audio tracks as you desire. Check the ffmpeg wiki for more. Googlefu applies. Let me know if you need help with more direct information.

Problem recording narration with external audio converter

I am recording a narration in iMovie using a nice studio quality mic plugged into an external mic pre/ AD converter.The converter (Apogee Mini-Me) is connected to my macbook pro via USB. I am able to select my mic pre in Preferences/Sound, no problem. The mic is hooked to the right channel of the two channel pre. ( I only need to use a single mic for a narration.) Everything sounds great except the sound only comes out of the right channel during iMovie playback. Is there a way to configure the input so that the single input is recorded and plays back on both channels of the iMovie audio track? I have looked and looked and there is no control panel that allows me to route a single input to both channels. Any ideas? Is there a piece of software that does this?

Connect all of your hardware and open the Audio MIDI Setup app (Utilities folder) to set it up.
You'll see the options for a "2" channel input and options to change a "mono" recording to center the channels to two speakers.

.avi files and audio codecs with Quicktime and other software

Apple Mac OSX 10.5.8, Samsung LED TV, Video Camera saving movie files as .avi, audio codec unknown (G-Spot codec is not supported on the mac so I can’t check)
As a well retired non-computer savvy person I am very confused when it comes to talk about different video/audio codecs. I have read so many articles my head is now spinning with information I truly cannot understand.
Using the above hardware, when I play an .avi file direct from my camera onto my new TV I get a perfect picture but the TV tells me “the audio codec is not supported”.
I have tried, using Quicktime Pro and others such as AVCWare Mac Video Converter and Divx converter, to convert the .avi file with unknown audio codec to an .avi using mp3 codec. This is successful but the camera will not play the file and when downloaded onto a flash stick the TV now tells me “not supported file format”. The TV gives me a Divx registration and deactivation code but I am not sure whether this refers to the TV or the flash stick!
To keep things short, all I want to do is edit/crop .avi files from the camera, save with a readable audio codec, put the files into the TV using a burnt DVD or play direct using a flash stick. The TV supports among other video formats Avi, MKV, ASF, MP4, 3GPP and audio being mainly MP3, AC3, LPCM, ADPCM
Hope someone can help please.
Many thanks Robin Welch

Hi George,
Thank you very much for your last post. One small piece of information from you regarding frame size was the final part to my jigsaw. I recently purchased a new digital camcorder and LED TV and getting them to talk to each other has taken me since December! Having installed MediaInfo as you suggested, I found the camera saved the .avi files with AAC LC audio codec (first piece of the jigsaw). Talking to the people at DivX about the problem brought up the fact that both my TV and Sony Home Theatre should be registered to play DivX files, this I did (second piece). Having reinstalled Perian and opening my .avi files in Quicktime player I tried saving the files as DivX to several profile options including Home Theatre with max 720 pixels (last piece). At last it works fine. Thank you for your help, I am very grateful.

Where do I find USB Audio codec in OSX 10.6.8?

I need this for a Pyle USB tape deck (PT-659DU). Audacity is the only program that can be used with this deck and they show clearly how to use Audacity with USB PnP devices,as this deck is one.This screenshot shows what I need to do.(find the USB Audio codec,and get it to show in the Audio setup in Sound
Prefs.

My last post to myself is wrong.I received a response from Audacity with USB audio Codecs support for Mac OSX on intel Macs.
Apple Developer Technotes link below.
On 22 February 2015 at 15:34, Ross Wright wrote:
My only question is,was he using a Powermac G3,G4 or G5 PowerPC based computer to show the USB audio codec installed? Mac Intel with OSX does not have USB audio codec in it's sound codecs anymore,nor does it support this codec anymore for usb record recorders & Tape recorders.
From Audacity:
Sorry, but that is just not true:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2274/_index.html .
It must be PPC only to work with Audacity.Ask any user with problems finding this codec to install and you will find they have an intel based Mac.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Add to your list of unsupported Cassette players. Pyle PT-659DU. There will be other models similar to this one with the same issue.I had to go analog RCA to work properly with Audacity.
See: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/User:BillWharrie/OSX_and_USB_input_devices
Pyle devices most likely just use the Mac's USB audio class driver as above.
However if your device's manual says you need to install a special driver for
Mac, you should do that.
In many cases, it's as simple as replacing the USB cable.

Can I change audio codec when convert flv to mov ?

I just get Total Video Converter from App store to convert my downloaded flv to mov. My question is how can I change the audio codec to ac3, aac, or mp3?
Below is its screenshot:

A simple problem, I think you are beginner to this app. In the tool bar, you can find a button "Settings", click it, you will get a window named "Options", and there are 4 tabs: "Video", "Audio", "Resize", "Crop&Pad", and "Audio" tab is the right you need like below:
There, you can set your desired audio codec with option "Audio Codec"
Hope this can help you. Good luck.

Audio codec ADPCM

Hello anyone,
I have many video clips from a Casio EX-Z850 with an audio codec "ADPCM". These files play fine in CS 5.03 PrePro and Bridge but will not play SOUND in CS 6 PrePro or Bridge. Im thinking it must be a audio codec issue in CS 6. Any thoughts will help.
Thanks

Would someone from Adobe know which dll file I could copy from Cs5 and put in cs6 to make the audio recognizable.
Thanks

Distorted recording with QuickTime 7 using USB Audio CODEC

I am running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8 with all the latest update from Software Update which includes QuickTime 7.1.3.
I am using QuickTime Broadcaster to stream back to itself (loopback) and record to disk at the same time. The input audio device is set to USB Audio CODEC (the default driver that comes with Mac OS X Tiger, and I am using an Alesis MultiMix 16USB mixer on a PowerMac Dual Core G5). I am using MPEG-4 Audio compression (no Video) of 16-bit, 44.1kHz and 128kbps (stereo).
The problem is that sometimes I get recordings (ranging from 1.5 hours to 2.75hours long) with distortion. Here is a short 20-second audio clip with distortion-free audio for about 6 seconds and then distortion sets in:
http://www.netmedia.com.sg/files/SampleDistortion20s.mov
Whether it overlays on top of the original audio or replaces it, I cannot tell, but the transition is instant and smooth with no audible clicks or pops. The distortion can come in and go randomly. For example, I had one recording with distortion coming in at about 2 minutes plus and it remained until about 2hr10min when the distortion went away. Sometimes it didn't go away; other times it came in about an hour later. I also had once where the distortion last only for about 6 minutes somewhere in the middle of a 2.25 hours recording...all in all, it occurs at random. And I do get distortion-free recordings.
This problem also occurs on an iMac G5 with a Alesis MultiMix 12USB mixer, and in another Vara Software's Videocue PRO software which uses QuickTime for recording and playback. QuickTime 7.0.x and all versions of 7.1 also had this problem.
Because of this problem, I may need to use a convoluted method to stream and record to disk via QuickTime. By the way, I also tried streaming to another local subnet IP address just as a troubleshooting without success.

I too am having distortion problem (Sorry no solution here).
Using OS 10.4.8, QT7.1.3, & Adobe Premiere 6.5 on a G4.
After I down loaded QT 7.1.3, my problems started. Is this when your problems started too?
Audio is in "slow motion" sound when editing. On rare occations, it sounds correct for 10 sec or so but sync is out and eventually reverts to "slow motion" sound. Even more bazar, when viewing a clip in a thumbnail preview, it works fine. So I know the orginal is good.
My contention is QT is causing this. All I want is my previous version of QT back. I think this might fix your problem too. Unfortunately, there is no reinstall that I can find that takes QT 7.1.3 off and puts QT 7.1.1or2. The reinstall QT 7.0.3 which is on the Apple website will not restall.
Looking for a reintall that will take QT 7.1.3 off, help anyone?

Distorted recording with QuickTime using USB Audio CODEC

The problem is that I usually get recordings (ranging from 1.5 hours to 2.75hours long) with distortion. The distortion sounds like audio going through Logic Pro's BitCrusher plug-in, that is, audio recorded with less than 8-bit resolution but kept at 44.1kHz sample rate. Whether it overlays on top of the original audio or replaces it, I cannot tell, but the transition is instant and smooth with no audible clicks or pops. The distortion can come in and go randomly. For example, I had one recording with distortion coming in at about 2 minutes plus and it remained until about 2hr10min when the distortion went away.
