Recording problem with SoundBlaster X

Hello everyone,
I am running a X-FI sound card which is on my motherboard (MSI P6N Platinium).
I always had MSI boards with integrated soundblaster cards, and I used to plug my guitar directly in the microphone input and record.
Since I got this new board with the X-FI card, I have latency when I play my guitar. The sound has around half a second delay before it gets to the speakers.
I never had such a problem with my other motherboards/soundblasters.
I tried with the front panel mic, and also with the back panel one. The problem with the back panel is that when I plug my guitar in, it doesn't allow me to output to the normal 5. speakers, I have just the option to should Digital output...
Does anyone have an idea on something I should look for in the setup?
I am running a:
Intel Dual Core 6600
MSI P6N Platinium with integrated SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Audio
2GB Geil sync RAM
Nvidia 8800GTX 768Mb Video Ram
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Hmm.. IIRC, X-Fi Xtreme Audio?doesn't have nati've ASIO?drivers so, if you like to?use lower latency (less delayed), you'll need to either?- install asio4all dri've and use asio compatible software for to input the signal?or?- use WDM/KS capable software for to input the signal?ASIO4ALL driver http://www.asio4all.com?ASIO capable Host? software:VSTHost - http://www.hermannseib.com/english/default.htm?(you need to add least one effect plugin to get signal out ... effevts can be found from KVR http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php)?Reaper?- http://www.cockos.com/reaper/?(support for WDM/KS and ASIO, use WDM/KS with settings 4 buffers x?256 - 52 samples)?jutapa

Problems with soundblaster x-fi surround 5.1

, Hello,
I have problems with my 'soundblaster x-fi surround 5.'.
-the speakers make 'plop' sounds
-the software 'startup centre', 'configuration' etc. give this message (translated from Dutch): "There are no compatible audiodevices found. Please close the program."
I have this poblems using a 64bit Vista, and not on a 32bit Vista (other machine).
Thanks,
Ivar

Hi Enk,
unfortunately a lot of people have the same problem.
There is another thread for this topic:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=
but for now there is no solution.
The only way to get the product working with "realtime" sound is to install the Vista driver from 2006, but with that one you have only stereo sound and the creative applications will not detect the product.
As I understand it, the delay can only be a driver issue.

Recording Problems with GarageBand

My micophone makes bad noise only in GarageBand while recording. The record sounds bad, too. It crackles very loudly. That's a new situation for me. Until now everything works nice. There are no problems with other programms. I use a USB Audio Interface Line6 TonePort UX1 with an AKG C1000S microphone. Can you help me please. Thanks a lot. Sorry for my bad english.

I'm having a weird audio sync issue as well with GB '08 that I never had with previous versions.
Basically, audio tracks gradually drift forward in time as the song progresses. They drift almost a full bar ahead of where they should be after about a minute into the song.
When I watch the wave form in the editor as I'm recording everything looks correct, but after stopping and playing back a process runs and then the sync is completetly screwed up.
I've tested every hardware variable I can think of -- external FW drive vs. internal drive, external hardware (Digi 002r) vs. built-in audio. I even tried 16 bit vs. 24 bit recording and I continue to have the same problem everytime.
Again, I had no issues with the exact same hardware and previous versions of GB, which leads me to believe that the problem is software related. I'm wondering if all of these new features come at the expense of memory and/or resource issues.
Anyone else experience this or know what the fix is?

Problem with soundblaster ZXR please help

Hi, yesterday I bought a ZXR . I downloaded the lastest driver 1.00.22 and tried to install it in my pc which runs windows 8.1. I use spdif port ( and I select it from the sound panel of pc) and I use 5.1 channel setup. My problem is that , when I choose DTS or Dolby from the SB control panel there is sound comming from from the test video in the SB control panel but when I want to play a music via media player I get this message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device..." or something like the sound device is busy in another application. To solve this problem I have to choose speaker option in the system sound menu. This way the sound comes from the speakers when I play media player but the MASTER VOLUME control does not work at all. I have already disabled and unistalled the system onboard sound device. What should I do?

Thanks man. That means if I choose dts or dolby I can not control the volume by master voulme? So for normal pc use I have to disable dts and dolby inorder to use media player and games?

Recording problems with condenser mics

ok, i have a CAD GXL 2400 condenser large diaphragm mic and a fast track pro liking into my grageband. I am having major major volume problems, where no matter what combinations i use between the gain of the microphone and the levels of my instruments in grageband, theres always some problem with the volume. usually its that my voice becomes so backround to the instruments that its not driving the melody that it should, and also, with me making the gain higher to try to get more volume, the mic will pick up too much of my voice and it will just sound more like static. if i finally get my voice to be heard how i would want it to be, all my instruments are turned down so low (normally lower than -15) that the song really has no power behind it. what should i do?

no normally the clip light doesnt come on, ive talked with people from multiple tech supports, such as sweetwater, and their advice was to sing into the mic and get the gain to where the clip was coming on with my voice, then turn the gain just barely below that to get the best sound. it did help, but not enough to fix my problem.

Screeching sounds in games and other problems with Soundblaster live extern

Okay i have the USB external Creative soundblaster li've sound card. i have had a few problems. My first problem is When im in games such as Americas Army i get random Screeches like a tin can being scraped on concrete. My 2nd problem is Talking with my mic. For others to hear me MONITORING has to be enabled, there for i hear myself out of my own speakers as well. I have done everything to try and fix this, i've tried updating drivers, rolling back drivers, using windows automatic drivers. Is there an option i dont see that is causing my card to not sound good? I am using a 2.0 speaker configuration, and i only play the games with headphones on.
please help.
thanks for your time.Message Edited by Zombeh on 0-6-2006 08:30 AM

You waited 24 hours and gave up? So I'll offer this for anybody else who reads the thread. I have a USB external SB card, but it's in a box somewhere. But IIRC, the Volume Controls work similar to other SB cards. In Volume Controls, Playback, mute the Microphone. In Volume Controls, Recording, select Microphone. This should let you "record" without hearing it on your speakers. Now if a game sets the mixer options for itself, that complicates things. If allowed, choose game audio options similar to these Volume Controls.

Windows Media Player 11 problems with SoundBlaster Live! Driv

My sound card stops working as soon as I try to watch a video with WMP. I have a Creative Labs SoundBlaster Li've! with a driver date of 8/29/2002. When I go to adjust audio properties, the system doesn?t recognize the card even though it is still listed in the hardware and says ?Device is working properly. I have reloaded the driver, and the card begins to work again, but as soon as I attempt to view a video, I?m back to the same place.
When I run the diagnostics included with the SoundBlaster card prior to running WMP, it passes on Hardware Detection, Wave Driver, MIDI Driver, DirectSound Driver, DirectSound3D Driver, but not on Mixer Driver, SoundFont Setting and Mixer Settings Check. After I run WMP, the only test that will pass is the Hardware Detection.
I have also tried this with the October 2002 driver set for SoundBlaster. In addition, I have downloaded the most recent driver set from Creative Labs.
I'm running Windows XP SP2.
Other programs like iTunes and various games work after I reinstall the drivers, but will not work after WMP starts. It appears that WMP is the source of the problem. Any suggestions?

Make sure you have the DRM update for the Li've drivers. I suspect WMP is cutting out the sound. Just to make sure that this is in fact the case, you could try playing back your clip with some other media player.

Recording problems with G570

Hi everyone
I bought a Lenovo G570 last week and am very pleased with it, but it has a problem when recording sound from the microphone-in socket. The problem is that sound recorded from the socket (the only external line input on the computer) records fine for the first few seconds, but after that (the time varies) it becomes distorted, like it has been very heavily compressed. I'm using the socket as a line-in to record from a radio's line-out socket.
The audio levels are fine according to the meters in the sound properties box and the recording software - I've tried using the latest versions of Total Recorder (and a variety of it's drivers) and Audacity with the same result.
Recording streaming radio stations is fine though.
Shame I can't attach a sound sample here.
I spent the first 2 days after buying the laptop downloading all the Windows 7 updates so as far as I know all's up to date.
Any ideas? I don't want to have to return it for a refund, but this is a real problem for me :-(
Thanks

hey valveradio,
could you try uninstalling the current audio driver for your unit. Let windows install its own generic driver and then test it out using Sound Recorder (the built-in recording app from windows)

Mac newbie! Recording problems with Audition 2.0 in WMware Fusion 3.0

Hi --
Having been an Audition/Cool Edit fan for a decade, when I recently bought my first Mac (MacBook Pro) I bought and installed WMware Fusion 3.0 for the sole purpose of running Audition on my Mac (OS 10.6.2).
Everything installed beautifully and playback, CD extraction and the like all were working fine. There was a slight bit of latency, but I could deal with it. When it came time to record something, though, it was awful. The whole Auditon program slowed down and recording was spotty, choppy and basically unintelliglble.
I thought I hadn't allocated enough memory on my virtual machine (the default was 512Mb) so I increased it to 2GB. That didn't work.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, can you give me a tip or two on how to get the recording mechanism to work properly?
Thanks!
Andre

VMWare Fusion and Parallels are just not reliable enough for real-time recording. I highly recommend setting up a bootcamp partition and using Audition under a native Windows XP environment for recording. The virtualization systems work fine for editing, mixing, etc but are just not reliable or robust enough for real-time work, in my opinion.
I supplied a short blog post to Adobe's Inside Sound blog last year about this. It's still up at http://blogs.adobe.com/insidesound/2008/02/audition_3_on_a_mac_1.html and has generated some great comments from users and even some of the folks over at VMWare.

Recording Problem With Muvo N

I've had my N200 about 2 months. Everything works great except when I try to record FM the player shuts off; it only started doing this recently. Is there any way to fix the problem?

Have you tried to upgrade/reload the firmware?

Speaker problem with SoundBlaster Live! Va

Hello all,
i've installed a SoundBlaster Li've! Value in my computer and i've connect to it a speaker system Creative Inspire 6. 6700
The problem is that i can't hear sound from central and LFE channels. And worse, in the creative surround mixer i cant' switch to 5./6. but only Headphone/2speaker/4speaker!
WHY? Thanks for your help!

The reason is you have only got a 4 channel sound card....... It's not a 5. sound card. Dude it's time you upgrade man.

Recording problem with RD-XV48DTKB

Guys
I recently bought the above HDD/DVD/VCR device. It works pretty well but twice now it has failed to record a program to hard disk. It didn't give an error, it just recorded 2 hours of nothing. You can play back these 2 hours of black. In each case it was ITV I was recording on a Sunday evening. I set it using the 'guide' button and selecting the program. I watched the power light come on and it went off at the appropriate time.
I can't see anything in the owner's manual about how this can happen. I am pretty sure I have recorded ITV successfully before but now I'm beginning to have my doubts.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Stuart

Problem with SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card Installat

I just completed installation of my X-Fi Xtreme Audio card for PCI express slot. I followed instructions and cancelled the prompt for audio drivers (by the hardware wizard) and installed via the Creative Labs CD. The installation went well and the card appears to be
functioning normally. My problem is that whenever I boot up the computer, the hardware wizard keeps discovering my card as new hardware and prompting me for a driver. I have been cancelling each time, but the last time I put in the CD, and had it search for the driver in the Audio/Drivers/driver/WinXP/bin, but it didn't seem to be able to locate the driver to satisfy itself.
What should I do (besides turning off the hardware wizard) to end this cycle of "new hardware found" episodes every time I boot.
I hope that someone can help with this.
ps: I would have liked to speak briefly with a Creative Tech Support person, but they seem to have conveniently left any telephone contact numbers off of their website, so I must depend on your help. Thanks.

Hi,
Please check the "Support" folder on your installation CD for Customer Support contact details.
