SB Audigy 2 Platinum only recording left chan

I am attampting to do some custom mixing doing some voice-over for a narrated program.
Listening with headphones as I record all sounds fine, however, when I play the recording I only have left channel content. I did notice that the record level indicates that there is only a left channel component. I've checked all my presets and I'm set to record MP3 Stereo and can't find any other settings which could be muting the right channel.
I'd appreciate some guidance.

Jallenwebb,
If you are using the Mic/Line in 2 on the platinum dri've you will want to set the volume control on it to microphone (turn the volume up to where you want it...all the way down till it clicks sets it to line in mode) as in line in mode it records in stereo mode (both channels are recorded and since most mics are mono then you end up with only one channel) but in Microphone mode it records it as a mono input that is panned to center so it plays back in both channels.

Audigy Platinum only records at 48k 16 bit in Sound For

Can someone please tell me what i'm doing that's so stupid? I'm trying to use Sound Forge to record my DJ sets through my Audigy Platinum, but for some reason Sound Forge will only let me record at 48k 6 bit sample rate, and the monitoring is almost impossible - most of the time I get terrible feedback destroying my ears! If I then save something I've recorded as a 44.k wav file or a mp3 file, the sound blaster wont play it at all.
I've moved the Audigy from an older PC that died on me, and I didn't have the original disc (from 4 years ago) so I downloaded the drivers from the web, but it doesn't seem to be working too well.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers.
Simon

Ok, I have some more info in this. I can get Soundforge to work when it uses the Windows Sound Mapper, but not the Creative Asio driver. DOes this help? Does it matter which one Sound Forge uses?
Please help!
Your card supports ASIO only @ 6-bit/48 kHz (hard locked).
Are there other driver modes listed (MME Audigy, DS Audigy, DirectX)?
If 6/48 with ASIO is not enough, then use DS Audigy if possible.

Creative X-FI xtrememusic Vista 32Bit Can only record Left chan

I seem to be have a major recording problem, when i select (REC)Line-in the recording output level only shows through the Left speaker (No signal on the right channel), even though the sound is coming through both speakers. I cannot get it to record in stereo, it will only record on the left speaker channel. If i change the REC to misrophone i have major Distortion no matter how much i decrease the input level.
Everything else is fine but i cannot work out what i am doing wrong. I'm getting input on both channels but when recording its only recording through the left channel. Please help us
My setup:
Vista ultimate 32bit
Soundblaster x-fi xtrememusic sound card
lated vista drivers : Vista Driver 2.5.0004
Inputs used : guitar and microphone.
standard 2 stereo spreaker setup L/R
I've also tried the drivers on the CD and the BETA drivers but i'm still having problem recording in stereo. the input is only showing the left channel when recording.

Try saving the file to your desktop or someplace, then run the installer instead of opening it when you start the download.

AUX 2 (stereo RCA) on Audigy 2 ZS Platinum only records left chann

As the title states, I can only get a signal through the left channel of the AUX 2 input (stereo RCA inputs on the front panel). I know for sure that both the left and right input channels are carrying a signal, because if I plug in the R channel into the L input, I get signal. I'm pretty sure this was working in the past, but I can't be certain. Is there a setting somewhere to enable stereo playback/recording through AUX 2? I'm pretty sure it should be there by default, so I have a feeling something is wrong with my card/front panel. I verified that the ribbon cable is firmly connected on both ends. Any ideas?

Hi, is anyone able to offe some help? Thanks

Audition only recording left channel?

Hi Guys,
I'm recording some records and while looking at the wav form I noticed that audition was only recording the left cahnnel but in stereo (both channels) I've looked at everything else and audition has got to be it. Recording is fine using Cool edit 2.0 but in audition 3 this is happening? Any info out there on this?
Also, in my recording travels. I tried recording through USB but found that the wave file looked somewhat compressed and unnatural. Looks great through a soundcard but through usb it looked very strange. is this natural?
George

Check in the Audio hardware Setup page that you have correctly selected the stereo input. The drop down list that Audition usually list the Mono inputs first ie. 01M, 02M etc.. You need to look further down the list and select the appropriate stereo inputs usually numbered 01S, 02S etc. depending on your audio interface.

Adobe Audition 3.0 only records in left channel

Greetings! I've got a Blue Yeti Pro mic hooked into an ART Tube MP Project Series USB pre-amp/interface (using XLR connection from mic - USB to computer). When I record voice in Audition 3.0 it only records on the left channel for some reason. I thought it might be the mic or preamp, so I downloaded Audacity to double-check with another program. With Audacity I got a perfect 2-channel mono recording. Any help on why Audition 3.0 is only recording on left channel would be appreciated. I'm stumped. Thanks! Cheers! mrc

As you are only using one mic then, as you say, you should be able to record it in mono. Audition defaults to stereo so if you want to record a mono source you have to make sure that you have the mono input for your USB interface selected as source, not the default stereo one. Usually Audition list the stereo sources first in the hardware set up panel, so you need to scroll down the list of inputs to find the mono ones. Stereo ones are called something like Art 1 &2 S etc. and the mono ones Art 1 M and Art 2 M.
Normally when recording a mono source it needs to be saved as a mono file using only one track, not as Audacity does which records a mono source onto two tracks and saving a stereo file which takes twice as much storage space.

I CAN'T RECORD INTO CUBASE SX 3 THOUGH MY OPTICAL INPUTS ON THE AUDIGY PLATINUM EX SOUND C

Hi
Can you tell me how I can get sound into cubase sx 3 via the Audigy Platinum ex optical card? I have an optical output on my seperate mixing desk whic I have linked to the optical input on the card, but I just cannot get any signal into cubase. If I attempt to record using the creative software recorder - it works perfectly! As soon as I turn on cubase sx 3, it just doesn't work. Have you got any suggestions please.

My external audio recording device only records to the right channel. How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

My external audio recording device only records to the right channel. How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one. How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

Maybe:
Quicktime Input is always mono?

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working? I have an old Audigy Platinum Ex that has served me well, until now when I have a new Windows 7 x64 PC (RTM). SPDIF IN no longer works, though everything else does (including SPDIF OUT). I've tried the current and beta drivers for the card, and no difference.
In Windows Vista x64 I could use ASIO drivers with my M-Audio ProFire 60 while using the Audigy for PC audio. Most often this was for skype, which I would set to use SPDIF IN/OUT which I then connected to the ProFires SPDIF OUT/IN. Using the ProFire mixing tool, I could control which mics and levels went to the Audigy while not interfereing with the ASIO drivers recording the mics. The ProFire also recorded the SPDIF OUT from the Audigy to caputre the person on Skype to their own audio track. This is a podcast producer's heaven, and I miss it!
If it's a known issue (SPDIF IN / Win 7), I've had this card through 4 PC upgrades and it's served me well enough I don't mind buying new. The Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Elite Pro looks to be the current version of my Ex - are there any Windows 7 issues currently that would stop me from using it in the role above? I will miss the FireWire port, a shame they dropped that.

Well basically it is possible, and I've found this out. Apparently Dell released a driver or something that allows it to work, but then only if you install a 3rd party modified xp version of the creative suite. I don't remember where I found it, but it was through google... Using some term including x-fi, dts, and vista.... Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it had a download for the whole creative suite that was modified from the xp version for Vista, however it was buggy as hell, caused driver issues and blue screens, and ended up causing me to have to reinstall Vista altogether again. In other words, it's possible, but I don't recommend it until it's officially supported... Don't know when this will be yet... *crosses fingers*
Luckily I've got a dual OS system with XP too, and I switch to that when I want to use my Xbox 360... However due to Microsoft also being terrible in that department... I now get entertainment off of its 3 red lights... (For those of you who don't know, 3 red lights = hardware error. Sending into microsoft for repair typically is a 2 month process... I'm still waiting on my prepaid shipping box to arri've and it's been 4 days... Will be a similar wait to get it to them, 4-6 weeks for them to actually repair, and another week or so to get it all shipped back). Although even when the console worked, my dsl modem sometimes cut out when playing on Xbox li've and dropped signals, reported errors, etc.
What is with the companies producing technology nowadays? I just want to play Gears in 5. on Xbox li've... *cries*Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07-22-20070:54 AM

Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum creating hard re

Greetings. Looking for insight on what I might do to alleviate a problem I am having with a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum sound card and dri've.
This is the original Audigy Platinum. I am running windows XP pro with all sevice packs installed.
Installation of this new unit went well. No hardware or software conflicts and the card and audio "dri've" worked on the first attempt. All software also installed properly.
Unfortunately, when playing any audio through the system continuously for over a minute or so, the system begins to have trouble. This trouble is exerienced independent of what software or media type is playing the audio.
First, the sytem will have momentary "hangs" where the audio will be interrupted by a monotone electronic beep lasting from a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds long. The audio will then resume from the point it had left off when the tone began. If I continue to play audio after these tones begin, the system will shortly thereafter go through a hard reset. (By hard reset I mean an immediate return to memory count, bios screen and then startup as if I had pressed the reset button or the power had been interrupted)
The ONLY time this takes place is when I have been playing some sort of continuous audio.
As I said, if anyone has experienced this and has any insight as to the cause or more importantly the remedy to to the problem, I would appreciate the input.
Thanks.
JP

No comments on this?
Just hoping someone will be able to help me so I can use my audio files once again.

Headset no longer works with Audigy Platinum dr

I have a Logitech headset that plugs into the headphone and mic jacks on the Audigy Platinum dri've. On Saturday I had to do some work in my computer, so I disconnected the dri've from the card to get the data cable out of the way.
This may not be related (I hope not), but I plugged my floppy dri've in wrong and fried the floppy dri've and melted the wire to the PSU. I got a new floppy dri've and PSU. I don't believe the sound card or Platinum dri've were effected because they both work fine otherwise.
Anyway I no longer get any sound from my headphones when they're plugged into the dri've, but do get sound when they're plugged into the Creative Labs remote control for my speakers. I get no sound from my mic when it's plugged into the mic jack on the Platinum dri've either. I haven't tested it with another jack yet, but assume it'd work.
I also notice in my Windows mixer, that the option for Line In/Mic 2 is no longer there, either in the main part, or under Recording. Line In/Mic 2 is the mic jack on the Platinum Dri've.
The Platinum dri've works fine otherwise. I can use the firewire port on it and I know it's receiving power because I can see the red light in the optical connector. To be sure, I went back inside my computer and doublechecked the connections. It IS hooked up properly.
How can I get the jacks to work again, short of uninstalling/reinstalling the driver? I don't think this is necessary because the sound works otherwise. Thanks all!

The Audigy dri've works from three different cables. One is the power cable, one is the IEEE394 cable, and the last is the data cable. If the power cable and IEEE394 cables are connected, but the data cable is not fully seated, you will see power from the optical output and the 394 port will work, but the inputs and outputs will not work or be seen by the Windows mixer.
I would definitely try reseating that data cable. Also make sure that none of the pins are bent. If that doesn't work, you may want to try moving the card to different slots.

Returning only records that have no entry in a specific field

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and relatively new to Crystal Reports, so I apologize if this information is "plain as day" somewhere. I've been hunting for this info for quite a while and can't find anything that makes sense!
I am trying to put together a very simple report that will return only records where a certain field is blank.
It is an Access database, in an information management program specific to our type of business. CR 11 software was included with the LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System), as the reports generated from the LIMS software are in CR. I've learned enough to be able to tweak reports and make some basic reports, but I can't find a simple answer to what I think is a simple question!
I have the report set up to access the following fields in the database: Invoice number, Client name, Due date, Invoice amount, and Payment Received. This will be used as a "cross check" - not as any major accounting tool - as the Payment Received field is simply the date that the payment was received. If no payment has been received, the field is left blank.
I want the report to return ONLY those records where that field is blank (i. e. a list of invoices/clients whose payment has not yet been received).
Ideally, I would also like to be able to return only those records where that field is blank OR within a certain date range (i. e. less than 30 days from the date that the report is run). However, we'll probably only use this report a couple of times a month, so that is not as critical.
I know I need to filter the records according to the Payment Received field, but don't know how to construct a formula that says "just show the fields where there is nothing entered."
Thank you!
Brenda

This is the hardest function to find: IsNull
If isNull(field) then
    // if the above fails on a numberic field or text field then see the following two-some databases are picky.
If IsNull(field) or field=0 then //this one maybe needed for a numeric field
If IsNull(field) or field=""    // this one maybe needed for a text field
if IsNull(field) or field=<value>
or
if IsNull(field) or field like <value*>
You always want the IsNull statement to be the first statement, and it is especially usefull when testing for not equal
If IsNull(field) or field <> <value>

No digital sound after Vista upgrade on Audigy Platinum

I finally got around to upgrading my Media Center PC from Win XP to Win Vista Ultimate x64. Following the upgrade and after installing the latest official drivers for my Audigy Platinum, I am unable to get any sound when using the digital out on the sound card. I also made sure to change the Audio Console setting to use SPDIF. If I switch to normal line out, it works fine and digital out worked fine on Win XP.
I tried searching but only came up with threads pertaining to the X-Fi and Audigy 2.
Is there something else Im missing to get this working in Vista?
Thanks a bunch!!

Hi there-
I just finally had the chance to install these drivers and I still have no sound coming out when I connect to the digital out of my Audigy card. Again, Ive verified the Audio console has been changed to SPDIF output and still nothing.
Is there something Im missing here? Are there other settings I need to change / set in Vista to get this working? This is very frustrating that this worked without issue in XP and I really dont want to have to go back to it.
Any help is much appreciated!!

Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem confl

I have had modem connection problems so I reformatted the hard dri've and reloaded the OS to get a clean start. Now, I have a conflict with the Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem. The sound card works great until I dial-out on the modem - at that point there is either no sound or a high-pitched tone is heard when a sound is played. Also, if I am activly connected to the internet and play a sound, the connection will drop and the modem will refuse to reconnect with various errors (no dial tone or port already open). The only way to reset the sound card and modem is to reboot. If I disable the Audigy card under device manager, the modem works great - connects and reconnects fine. BTW, this is the third PCI modem I have tried, all by different manufactures and chipsets, so I don't think it is a modem problem.
Some system specs:XP Home SP 2Audigy Platinum with the latest production drivers availableUS Robotics 56K PCI modem model #5660AAsus A7N8X deluxe motherboard with on-board sound disabled
The Audigy card is installed in a PCI slot that is not shared, also the Audigy card is using IRQ 5 and the modem is on IRQ using COMM port 3. Everything looks fine under Device Manager (no unknown devices or devices with errors). MSINFO32 shows no device conflicts.
Has anyone seen this before? Any workarounds? Any idea why the Audigy card would conflict with the modem like this?
Thanks,Terry C.

I updated the BIOS to the latest ASUS release, 008, and it seemed to resolve the problem.
