[solved] Microphone problem, possible unwanted stereo mix.

I'm user of integrated Integrated audio: Realtek HD Audio ALC 1200 (Mother board: ASUS P5Q)
Whenever i try to record something from my microphone input, i'll record everything that currently plays at the background (output is being captured with microphone input, no matter what).
The question is, how to disable this? If i lower capture volume, this stereo mixer volume goes down, too, but therefore it's impossible to record my own voice without yelling.
I'm using Pulse Audio.
Is there anyone who is using same audio card and not having same problems?
I just hope i shouldn't blame my integrated audio card, but my hands.
Here is a screenshot of my alsamixer settings: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5885 … shotgy.jpg
EDIT: If you have same audio card and you do (or do not) have any microphone problems, please contact me.
TL;DR: stereo mixer is always on.
Solution: if you have 6 pins on motherboard, try to use orange/black instead of green for audio out (headphones). No idea what's the problem with green one.
^ works for me.

You say you are using pulseaudio. If I am not mistaken, the settings you change in alsamixer won't affect pulesauido (at least not in my case)
Have you installed and run pavucontrol to look at the "Input" Settings? This is the mixer for PulseAudio
After little discussion at alsa-project.org I believe my audio card is just "not really good" and this stereo mixer is possible to hear, if output volume is 66+ and capture 33++, i just switched to values above. (it's almost silent with those)
So I can now use microphone without heavy stereo mixing. But, need to find anyone else with same audio card experiencing same problems. If someone has the same audio card, and is (isn't) experiencing same problems please contact me.
Used pavucontrol to confirm volume settings.

I am missing stereo mixer, how can i solve this problem?

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

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.

Hp espresso dv4t - stereo mix problem

Hi, my laptop can not mix between micro with playback audio. so i can not record my karaoke. It can not record micro and playback audio at the same time (stereo mix problem)?

Hi @ToxicAlien404
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you have a problem with the sound quality recording using Stereo Mix as your default device. I would recommend trying to record the same thing using the internal microphone to see if the sound differs at all. Ensure that Stereo Mix is also enabled as per this third-party link. What is the product number for your Envy dv6?

It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.
However.. it's not Logic related.

BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...

I brought iphone 5s to local i centre in Armenia, they opened the phone and said that they can't solve the problem, is it possible to send it to US for repair ?

If some unauthorized shop opened the iPhone and attempted a repair, then Apple will no longer touch the iPhone. If they didn't attempt repairs, then Apple might be willing to service it, but only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold. If that was in the US, then you will need to take the iPhone there yourself, or you will need to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US who can take or send it to Apple for service and then send it back to you. Apple will not accept shipments from outside the country.

Problem Recording Audio Stream: audacity, HDA Intel ALC882, Stereo Mix

Hi,
I am trying to record an audio stream using Audacity, but I am having problems. From the mixer toolbar dropdown, I have various options for mic, line, cd, but there is no option for 'stereo mix.' I have looked at alsamixer, and none of the capture channels are muted. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the correct direction.
Regards,
Ian Sutherland

You need pulseaudio to capture from the mixer. Try this:

it worked for me in my Lenovo T61 with HDA Intel sound
Good luck

Using Both A Microphone and Stereo Mix Input In Audition

Hello,
I'm attempting to record a radio show..
Running Vista.... And using Adobe Audition 3. I am trying to use a stereo mix input (which I know is visible and can use) along with a microphone input (I have a sm57 mic, which is also activated and working).
However, it only gives me the ability to use one at a time when I go to multi track.
Any ideas?
~Thanks

That's all Microsoft's 'mixer' does for anybody; you can only select a single input to record from. The best solution in your case is to use a small, cheap external mixer instead. This has the added advantage of giving you some immediate physical control of what you are doing as well.

Since I use Mac os x mountain lion it is no more possible to share files with my pc windows 7. Does somebody know how to solve this problem?

Since I use Mac os x mountain lion it is no more possible to share files with my pc windows 7. Does somebody know how to solve this problem? I have been answered by an Apple technician that with the new Mountain Lion the problem was with Windows. I am not convinced.

I have renamed my pc and everything is ok with the file sharing SMB. Both my iMac and my pc can share files very easily.

Since iOS 5activation not possible. Tried it for a few hours but doesn't work. How can i solve this problem?

When I try to activate from my iPhone it says: iPhone could not be acticated, actication Server is unavaillable. When I connect to iTunes it says: No Sim-Card insert. But my Sim-Card is insert! How can i solve this problem? It's freaking me out. I try it since yesterday without any success...
Please help.

If you have to ship your phone back to the US, then you will need to ship is to a friend or a relative who actually lives out there. You CANNOT ship it directly to Apple as they will not accept it. Send it to a relative or friend that you have there and if you don't have any, then you are out of luck as there is nothing that you can do.
That is why is was not really a good idea to purchase an iPhone is the US when you are ultimately going to use it in China. With no international warranty on the iPhone you are stuffed really. You should have bought it in China and then you would not be facing this problem.
Nothing you can do except get on a plane and fly to the US or send the phone to a friend or relative.
