Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium... no "what you hear" option

This is my second system with this sound card.
My last one, when I wanted to record off the air or off my sound card there used to be a drop down called "what you hear" for your source in.
Where did it go?
I can still record on the go but I have to make a couple changes to the setup.
Also, did this used to safe your files to .mp3's ?
...anyway, I'm looking for the ''what you hear" option in my recorders.

Thanks again.. where do I find the applications that are available for this sound card?
Is there a webpage that contains these, if so, could you direct me to this?
The Sound Bank is installed and I do have the virtual keyboard now, thanks.
I can't hear it for some reason, I'm pretty computer savvy and I can't think of anything I did wrong. I mean all I did was download and installed a driver.
Thanks

What You Hear

I have an old Extigy SB0130 on my Windows-7 computer. The Extigy and its PlayStation application work fine, but the Recorder has nothing in its pull-down menu for "Record From".
I really want to use the "What You Hear" input.
Is there a current Creative soundcard that has this feature? Would prefer external/USB unit with MIDI capability but would consider others as long as they have What You Hear function.
Thanks!

Hi,
The X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro and the Sound Blaster X-Fi HD supports 'What You Hear'. Please write to Presales if you require more information about these products.

"Stereo mix" or record what you hear... Soundblaster u

With my onboard audio there is no "stereo mix" or record what you hear option in the recording control ...So when I am listening to an audio feed I can not record it with Adobe audition (as I can with another computer)

Does it record what it hears..YES!

Creative X-Fi recorder from "what you hear" and splitting tra

Hi,
I used to be able to record minutes of music or sound and be able to split this saved file with the splitting option of Smart Recorder. I now have installed a new sound card X-Fi and want to do the same but cannot find where I need to look. Does this new software for X-Fi offer that or not anymore?
thanks,
Luke

I have the software from the CD installed, as I stated earlier, the "What You Hear" option is only missing if you do a CLEAN install of the drivers from the Windows Update. That is?to say if you install the drivers from Microsoft's website with no other X-Fi driver installed on your system.
If you installed the update over a previous version of the drivers, then the "What You Hear" option remains available.
I checked this three times by doing a clean install from the Windows Update and then installing the other driver from Creative?s website.
All three times I deleted the X-Fi driver from my system, then installed the one directly from the Windows Update. I would check my record settings and could not find the "What You Hear" option. I would then install the driver from Creative?s website and checked the settings again and the ?What You Hear? option was available.
If you just installed the Windows Update driver over the one previously on your system without first deleting it, then yes, you should have the "What You Hear" option.
I also could not get the "What You Hear" recording option in any software application that previously had it (ie, Adobe Audition, Sony Sound Forge) until I installed the driver form the Creative website.

Audio Recording "What you Hear" not available!

I have recently assembled my system with MSI-X58-PRO-E. And installed Windows 7.
When I tried to record audio that is playing on my system, the "What you Hear" option could not be selected in Audacity. Or any other recording software.
Is this because of Realtek drivers? Could this be solved by installing new drivers, or I have to buy a discrete sound card?!?!!!
Any help is appreciated...

thanks for suggestion, will try it and post thje results soon.

Using Analog 2 or "What You Hear" for stereo recording

I'm recording sound bites from tv shows and movies to my Audigy 2 Platinum by using the front-panel's Analog 2 by plugging in the left and right channels for the audio.
When I record directly from Anolog 2, the sound is real low, but If I record from the "What you hear" option, it comes out a lot louder.
Is there any difference in how the audio is being formatted during it's recording by weather or not if I use Analog 2 or "What you hear"? Like in surround sound? Will I get surround sound quality from either Analog 2 or "What you hear"?

This low signal can be caused by wrong connection impedance or voltage, BUT also
Have you already tried by setting
- Source level to max (eg. Analog 2 in this case) on Surround Mixer and checked it equals on Windows Mixer (Control Panel_Sounds and Multimedia_Audio tab: Volume on both Play)
- Rec level too (on both as above /Rec)
I think you can't record surround directly using 1 stereo microphone/source.

X-Fi XtremeAudio card and "What You Hear" recording

= Sorry if this has been asked 00 times before.
Does the X-Fi XtremeAudio card have a "What You Hear" feature? I can't find it anywhere. I have all the latest drivers. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell XPS 800.
thanks

Dont hold youre breath, the titanium cards do not have the (what you hear) option, it will not do that later either. The titanium cards are for "gamers" and not for studio work?

WHQL X-Fi Driver missing "What You Hear" recording

I have tried this 3 times to make sure it is not a simple glitch?
If you uninstall your X-Fi driver and do a clean install using the WHQL driver from the MS Update, the driver installs without the ?What You Hear? recording option. If you update to the driver without uninstalling the old one, the option remains available so this seems to me a small problem...however it troubles me to see that it is missing form the MS driver if you do a clean install.
Is this an option that MS is pushing to have removed ?

Stereomix/What you hear?

? <div class="lia-component-body lia-message-body">hi everybody.
Lately I've been introduced to streaming games to friends online.
Well,I'd like to stream game audio and microphone input.
Since my X-Fi XtremeGamer doesn't have Stereomix I tried the "What you hear" option,but I'm not content with that solution.
It's kind of distracting for me to hear myself saying what I just said a second ago, so I'd like to know if there is a way to turn that off or low, without losing the ability to stream either microphone or game audio.
So what I'm looking for is a combination of "What you hear" for the game audio and regular microphone output, all in audio channel.
Is there a way to do it's Did I miss an option for it somewhere?
Or is there an additional program I need to mix those channels?
I'm on Windows Vista by the way.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium, when is it expected in the UK? And what pri

Hello,
Just wanted to ask about the Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium, it's got everything I need/want. (Put off in the past with other ones)
When is it expected in the UK, and what price should it be?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Laurence

Where is the frontal connection:
SPDIF (in/out)?
Line In 2?
Midi (in/out)?
Remote Control?
300$ for this card? that?s funny.

Thanks for the update although this I had personally worked this out myself. Surely this card is to be released globally soon as it has started to pop up in stores available for pre-order. Any ideas on the release date and what will be the differences?
I have tried to compare it to the <span class="text">Fatalty version to find no difference other than cosmetic. I even went into the FAQ page only to get this:

Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum + What You Hear

Hi All,
I'm looking into picking up a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum or the X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series card... However after recent frustration loosing the "What U Hear" option on a old Audigy SE running under Windows Vista, I am a little unsure!
My question is: Do the X-Fi Platinum or Fatalty Champion Series cards have the "What U Hear" recording option like it did with previous older Creative cards? *I am now back using Windows XP*
Also, are the 2 mentioned X-Fi cards much cop when it comes to music production?
Many thanks

Well looking over [url="http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/multimedia/display/creative-soundblaster-xfi.html">here[/url]?you see the Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Sound Card Family Review.
Note...[*]ASIO 2.0 support at 6-bit/44.kHz, 6-bit/48kHz, 24-bit/44.kHz 24-bit/48kHz and 24-bit/96kHz with direct monitoring.<?
ASIO 2.0 seems a different ball game all together.
We know that not all those card will NOT give you What U hear in Vista, so I think it's bad to get the terms confused.
You can find the same on some USB eternals as well, and I've yet to see one than that can do mix (What U hear)
I?suggested to?creative in another thread if they could supply this information rather than let someone buy the card to find out it doesn't.
Worth noting that creative have stated what cards can do What U hear in Vista tho.
The What U Hear recording option is supported in Windows Vista for Sound Blaster X-Fi series (Excluding Extreme Audio series) and Sound Blaster Audigy series (excluding Sound Blaster Audigy LE, SE, and Audigy Value).
Some of those card will with older drivers though.
This whole Stereo mix thing has become a total sham, and is not provided on most new laptops with vista and creatives external solution ( X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook) doesn't give it in Vista but it does XP but you CANNOT do voice over music with it as you have mic control and it mutes the mic.
I suppose it depends what we use mix for though....some people just want it to record from the web, so they are not bothered about the mic, but if you want to do voice over music (karaoke or DJ) it's no good.
I could give you a link to a forum where people are cursing the lack of mix, and I can see it getting worse as people get new PCs with Vista on.
Sorry I went off topic, but I needed a vent over this as I often get asked by people "what should I buy" and I can't find the answers!
Come on Creative!!!!![/list]

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium

What kind of idiots run creative, I thought I would give Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium a try what a mistake. The help on this web site is crap. Try to get a manual u cant. Then the stupig how to when you hit disagree it has a problem. Nothing works including the card. I would whip a creative mother**bleep**ers ass. And I will register over and over just to post this.
JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK

Did u try the manual? It does not work the chm file. I am not an idiot I have at least 9 computers in the house at this time. I delivered 3 boxes of parts to the local high school. Thos is the biggest POS computer hardware that I have ever purchased. My last three cards that I had workrd flawlessly. Turtle Beach DDL and the generic VIA chipset that comes with the MB. It is working but is creating way to much lag in Quake 3 the only game I play.
Its a shame some guy hacked the creative drivers and made them better. Shows you what kind of talent creative has or the lack of. I would not buy another creative product as long as I live and I buy a lot of pc parts. I am fixing to uninstall this card and would love to shove it up Fatilitys ass. The guy made it on quake and his name is on a POS that causes the system to lag. Not to say what kind of crap creative wants you to install. Why not just a clean drive with a console? To simple I guess.
Let me know if you get the manual to load. I would like to have it downloaded to refrence but thats to simple for the creative idiots. I can no longer keep paper copies of manuals I keep them on the pc for refrence. Seriously try the manual. It opens and the directory is there but know data in the main area. What a joke.

PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Professional Audio

The a.m. product - PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Professional Audio - is offered in the Internet under support.creative.com - even a manual (in German) can be downloaded. But I cannot find a link in the Internet to buy the product. Do you know a way to order? do you know the price? The exact name of the product is important.Snaporaz in Munich

Windows 7 64bit and Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium - No rear sound

As the title says I have a sound blaster x-fi titanium running on a windows 7 64bit box. I have downloaded all the latest drivers and tools from creative. The issue is no matter what I do I cannot get the 5. surround working. I have the front 3 speakers working and I can even get it to double the two front side speakers to the rear, but not true 5.. I have tried both DD li've and DTS. I have an Onkyo HT-R550 receiver that supports both DD and DTS and I'm connected over a digital optical cable. Trying to figure this one out!
I've gone through all the modes in the creative audio software and tried all the surround modes on the receiver.
Please help

Ok. I have actually formatted my hard dri've to fix another windows and I'm back where I was. I'm testing using the speaker page in the console. I get great sound from all 3 front speakers and my sub. What I've found when clicking the back two I will get a very quiet but clear test voice through both rear speakers, no matter which side I picked. Also the bass portion of the test comes through the sub as normal. I can't seem to get the rear speakers to test any louder.
I did the surround sound speaker test and it all sounds good (without the PC involved). Also my PS3 plays great surround sound through it using the same optical cable.
I also tried your suggestion with no improvement.
What's next?
