Sound Blaster Mp3+ cannot hear recorded so

When I play sound into the RCA line in on the back of the MP3+ the computer registers and records it correctly but I cannot hear it as it is playing which means I cannot simply listen to records on the computer using the line in. I have also noticed that there is no 'what u hear' option in the recording source selecter as has been the case with other creative cards. How can I make the the recording source audible?

Bahamut_uk,
Unfortunately the MP3+ is not capable of playing back it's inputs. This is due to USB bandwidth limitation as it would require the sound to be sent to the computer and then sent back to the MP3+ for output. This would introduce timing and latency problems. It would also require a huge amount of the usb bandwidth which would limit the computer sound quality capable. For a similar reason there is not an option for "What-U-Hear".

  • USB Sound Blaster MP3+ and Vi

    My USB Sound Blaster MP3+ performs fantastically using the nati've drivers on Win2K and WinXP.
    On Vista, however, there is a chirpy/buzzy distortion piggybacking on any signal passed through the A-to-D (line in, specifically). I've tried two different Vista PC, different powered USB hubs, and with and without the Creative USB Series Windows Vista Driver .0.0002 to no benefit.
    I'm an engineer and a programmer, but not a Windows programmer. Can somebody tell me why this nearly generic USB Audio interface doesn't work with Vista I have other USB Audio devices that work fine with the nati've drivers on Vista.

    Is there anyone with experience with this sound card, recording and Vista?

  • Sound Blaster MP3+ causes Control Panel er

    Hi,
    I just installed the drivers from the installation CD and everything seems to be working properly. However, whenever I open Control Panel, I get this error message:
    "To enable the advanced sound effect for gaming, please make sure the setting of Hardware Acceleration is "full". The directory is as below: Control Panel -> Multimedia(Win98) / Sound & Multimedia(Win200, Me)/Sound & Audio Device (WinXP) -> Audio -> Playback/Advance...-> Performance -> Hardware Acceleration"
    It has only an "OK" button which, when I click it, brings up the error again. This happens 3 or 4 times in a row, and then finally the Control Panel appears.
    I did not have this problem before installing Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. I thought maybe installing SP 2 was the cause of the problem. However, I just reformatted my hard-dri've and installed SP 2 BEFORE installing Sound Blaster MP3+. The problem appears again. Is there a known compatibility issue? What might be the cause of this error?
    Also, I was just wondering: What exactly is Sound Blaster MP3+? Is it an actual sound card? Or is it just a sound processing device. I am running it on a laptop which has an integrated sound card. Should I have disabled the integrated sound card before installing MP3+? Could there be a conflict there?
    Thanks.
    - Mark

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that yes, I checked the Hardware Acceleration settings and they are already set to "full".

  • USB Sound Blaster MP3+ questi

    I just got this card, and am not super computer literate when it comes to this, but I have a program that I can copy from cassette tape, remove pops,cracks etc from tape recordings or vinal recordings and I am sure that this card & program should be able to do the same thing, but I can't figure out how to do it. There are too many different things to look at and it does not seem real user friendly. I have used the sound blaster to copy the cassettes and to switch between WAV & MP3 files, but had to go to my Polderbits software to be able to make the files sound better. Any suggestions?

    Is there anyone with experience with this sound card, recording and Vista?

  • Sound Blaster R3: Delay on Recording / Playing Music

    Hi all,
    Recently purchased with the Sound Blaster R3 and am very happy with its build quality. However, I get delays on both recording and playing sound.
    Recording When I use GarageBand to record from the Vocal Mic (1), the sound recorded into GarageBand has a small delay - meaning when I sing in rhythm with the metronome, the recorded sound shows the waveform of my singing slightly behind the metronome.
    Playing The R3 plays music at a small delay after the music is supposed to play. For example, YouTube videos have the audio played a little after the video - this is especially noticeable on dance videos when the dance steps do not go in sync with the music. Also, on playing games, the sound of killing enemies only plays a short while after the enemy dies.
    Anyone has any ideas on fixing the aforementioned issues? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    DarkJon64,
    Creative Surround Mixer is the master volume control for most of our sound cards. This is included on the installation and application CD and should be installed by default. You can usually find it in the start menu section for your sound card.

  • Sound blaster mp3+ driver is

    Hi,
    I purchased a re-certified soundblaster mp3+ 0270 from creative.com. I have windows XP and when i installed the drivers it gives error with "Creative SB External USB Composite Device". The dri've r is not able to dri've the device?
    Is sb mp3+ runs in windows XP with the drivers that come with the default CD? if not where do i find the XP drivers?. and if this is not the driver issue, what do i need to operate this device in my windows XP?
    Thanks in Advance
    Paras.

    Updated drivers from legacy driver pack. Card still doing the same thing. No drivers installed, can work fine but cannot utilize EAX add-ons, cpu says cannot find supported device.
    Drivers installed, music plays choppy and fast. I have un-installed and re-installed all software and drivers and even cleared registry between installs and uninstalls... Still no ideas out there?

  • I Just installed my sound blaster audigy and cant record noth

    i tried everything, when i tested the soundblaster hardware it didnt pick up nothing, then i put the mic in the stock recorder input,tested that hardware on my computer and that one worked. on my adobe audition(studio recording software) i changed the recording software to the soundblaster but still getting the same results..
    HELP!!!
    i tried re installing the drivers but nothing works and i know for sure its not the mike
    AHHHHH

    Hmm... you could st check if the SB is set as preferred play/recording device in system audio settings (start run mmsys.cpl) and then as suggested by creative, disable the onboard audio system. If still not working then, check the settings in surround mixer (or windows play/recording control panels) .. used source channel opened and recording source set properly. jutapa

  • Recording audio from a digital source on sound blaster M

    This is my setup: DVD player > optical cable > optical-in on Sound Blaster MP3+
    I'm trying to record the STEREO (not 5. or DTS) audio off a DVD I have, but it won't record or playback anything on either the SPDIF input or Wave/MIDI/CD input when selected. Everything else works fine (analog, line-in, etc.). Another thing I noticed is that all of the inputs seem to be connected to my built-in regular laptop microphone. When I press record in any .wav recording program, I can hear my voice/other background noise.

    The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
    If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.
    Regards.

  • Connecting Sound Blaster Connect to an old hi-fi to record ta

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to connect the sound blaster connect to an old hi-fi. there seems to be only cable included that will go to the back (video?) feed of my hi-fi (the double ended white/red cable) and when i plug that in to the hi-fi and sound blaster it doesn't record anything so i assume it's not right. is there a cable i can get which i can just plug into the headphone plug on my hi-fi and then into the sound blaster? i don't understand all the technical phrases used on other messages or the website so sorry if someone has asked this question before.
    Can anyone help me? i really want to record all my old tapes onto computer.
    thanks

    I always used a stereo guitar/keyboard cable and used an adaptor to make it smaller on the computer end (my headphone socket on my hi-fi is big). But yeh, I always just used the headphone socket on the hi-fi and the line-in input on the soundcard. This has worked for every sound card I've ever had...
    You could just use something like...

  • Windows Vista - Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb - No Microphone Playback Real Time Kara

    Hi,
    I don't no if this problem was just discussed in another thread, if so please giveme simply the link...
    I'm Italian, so sorry for my poor english or bad translation...
    PC: Laptop, "Toshiba Satellite A 200 24E"
    OS: "Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack " - All update done.
    Dev.: "External Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb" - Driver downloaded from Creative Web Site
    At the very beginning I tried the internal Sound Card (Realtek) to do karaoke in spare time, but couldn't hear anything coming from Microphone. So I tried to buy an external sound card. The result is the same.
    On "Record Device" I can see the Microphone Device, the level is on top, when I speak in the microphone I can see the green bar light up, if I record my voice I can hear myself when I playback, but no sound in real time.
    I read that a lot of people have similar problems, but everone solves in a different manner...
    I tried:
    - I read in other forums advices about to do something like unmute microphone on "Audio playback devices" >> "Speaker" >> "Levels", but I don't see any checkbox, I can see only Speaker Level Bar...
    - As read in other websites, to add a registry key (something like EnableInputMonitor in a specific path), but nothing changes. I cannot find other Device, not in Playback Devices, and not in Record Devices.
    Please help, all was great with the same microphone, on old Packard Bell Laptop, old Sound Blaster mp3+ usb, and old Windows Xp.
    If no solution, I 'm going on buy an old laptop with Windows xp, or an external Mixer, but I'm disappointed on spending more money...

    well ?

  • Sound Blaster Audigy SE Driver Prob

    I have a problem with Sound Blaster Audigy SE,
    Im using newest from creative download site SBA_PCDRV_LB__04_006.exe drivers.
    After I turn on a game like ut2004, fear combat, even dxdiag (sound test) or pause sound in music/movie player system stops reacting or process "System" uses 95-00% of my CPU.
    After few tests I discovered with help of KrView (kernel view soft) that p7filt.sys uses such big ammount of cpu If in Speaker Settings, Bass Redirection and Subwoofer Gain (+5) is turned on. (5. speakers)
    I installed a bit diffrent version of drivers (from cd and even later I tested SBSE7_XP_Jul2005 additional driver). But then Subwoofer Gain option isnt working at all
    its written Subwoofer Gain (+0) and with sub gain +0 sound quality very poor like in AC97 audio.
    Ive also checked friends sound card on my pc and also i've tested exactly same thing on other computer.
    I have xp sp2 with updates, newest bios, directX, etc etc...

    OK..first of all the Audigy SE lacks any form of hardware acceleration, so turning on features like bass boosting/sound post-processing etc. will take away a lot of CPU time. The file you mentioned just acts as a software real-time filter, although it should not go up to the point of bringing a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 to its knees.
    The sound quality will be altered even with every "DSP" effect (quoted because there's no actual hardware DSP, it's just emulated in software) set to 0, as long as the "DSP is considered acti've.
    That's because the sound output is first converted from the time domain to the frequency domain (in poor words, the continuous sound wave you hear is broken down in many different frequencies like in those 80s ghettoblasters spectrum analyzers) because it's easier to amplify bass/treble that way, and then converted back to time domain (in even poorer words, a continuous sound wave you can hear/record/playback).
    It's obvious that doing that thing in real time has a CPU cost, and even more obvious that the procedure is lossy and the input will not be the same as the output even with no effect applied, as long as the this double conversion takes place.
    If you really need bass boost, turn any sound processing on the card OFF, and use speakers which have it. Also, if the CPU usage is abnormally high, try updated or a specific older version of the drivers that has more reasonable CPU usage/doesn't have that bug.

  • Cannot record with sound blaster conn

    I have purchased a Sound Blaster Connect to convert stuff to mp3. Using line in I can hear sound through headphones on the Connect, Creative MediaSource seems to realise there is sound (monitor moves), but as soon as i try to record, I get a - 'the recording process was aborted' message. I can record to mp3 via WaveStudio but results 'stutter'. Any advice?Message Edited by Brianjay on 05-30-20070: AM

    That's not the issue, the problem is that some games are firing 32-bit float audio (0x0e type as indicated in the error) into ALSA through whatever means, and the standard GLC only supports 16, 24 and 32bit signed int audio. My fork above adds very rudimentary support for float.

  • How do I monitor my 'line-in' recording with my Sound Blaster USB Mp3

    I'm recording tracts of my band from a MD via line in. How do I monitor what's being recorded (in real time)?
    Sound Blaster USB Mp3+
    Thanks,
    Mike

    my problem seems similar to prior post.
    I have attached Creative USB Sound Blaser MP3+ a.k.a. SB0270 to a Compaq Presario 700 lap top computer via its USB .0 port. I'm running WinXP Home with SR-2 update.
    I have found that I CAN record audio using Creative's Wave Studio by first selecting "Line-In" in Microsoft's "Volume Control" software Options/Properties/Recording. "Line-In" then appears as the label on the record level control in Creative's Wave Studio. This was not the intuiti've choice as music fed in through a USB port supposedly uses the SPDIF (Sony Phillips Digital Interface Format). Selecting the SPDIF in Microsoft's "volume control" doesn't work.
    However, although I can record the audio, I can not find any way to monitor the level of the audio while recording. When recording using Creative's Wave Studio, an indicator (lower left of screen) shows it is in the recording mode, but the level indicator is a straight line at zero / baseline. Furthermore, the input signal can not of been too small to be seen, because the graph shows nearly full modulation on playback.
    How does one monitor the recording level while recording?

  • Cannot record from streaming internet audio. Sound Blaster Live! Va

    Hi,
    I have a Sound Blaster Li've! Value sound card and am trying to record streaming audio from the internet. I have tried doing this with the Creative Recorder and with Windows sound recorder with "Wave" selected as recording source. Neither programs "sense" and audio when i am playing the audio and when i record it nothing is recorded. My microphone does pick up sound and both programs reord it fine. Can anyone let me know how to fix this?

    First things first. Most CD's will only play left and right chanel depending on the program you are using to play audio CD's. If you can get your sound cards play control to open and show you the volume controls.
    Usualy double clicking on the speaker down by the clock in the lower right corner.
    If you see front and rear settings is the rear volume control at minimum or maximum?
    Change it as needed if its there.
    In the program you use to play the CD's look in its properties setting and see if there are any front and rear settings. Also do your speakers have a front and rear volume on them?
    Be warned if you change some of these setting your games might be loud from the rear.
    Hope this hel

  • Sound Blaster Connect: Why no Smart Record

    Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I've just bought a Sound Blaster Connect to convert my audio tapes to MP3. The box and the instructions both say it should include Smart Recorder software to accomplish this task, but I can't find it on the CD. Am?I missing something? Do I need to download something extra?All help appreciated. Scandalxk

    I don't think it's wrong forum. I have the same problem. Installing and desinstalling programs from CD, once the smart recorder was installed, another time wasn't. No one knows why. Now the main problem for me is that if I klick on the smart recorder knob, the message "no audio equipment on this computer" appears and the program is aborted.
    So I cannot use my Sound Blaster Connect for the only purpose I bought it - for the recording.
    If you know how to fix it, please tell me.
