Vista (32bit) and 'what u hear' problem

Hi,
Wonder if anyone has encountered this problem. I usually mess around with sound n stuff and in XP used to record stuff on the fly using what u hear tool.
Since moving to Vista (32bit) whenever i record utilising the 'what you hear' recording setting the recording volume tends to MAX out at 100% regardless of what setting i set it at using the sound controller.
I have the X-Fi Xtreme music edition and am using the latest CL drivers (too afraid to try the M$ WHQL driver update which arri'ved for me today).
I use Adobe Audition .2 to record audio.
Anyone have a work around?
Thanks

Here's the answer to the WHAT U HEAR problem that just came in today from the wonderful folks at Creative.
"Please be informed that drivers updated from the web will comply with
UAA standards. However, due to Microsoft's new Windows Vista?
architecture, some features may be lost. I regret to inform you that
currently "What U Hear" as recording source is not supported in Windows
Vista."
Doesn't sound very creative to me. I was originally asking about this in regards to a x-fi xtreme audio board but it looks like they've thrown up their arm is surrender to Vista period.
I have managed a fair work around by putting a y connector at my card's speaker out, running a patch cable to my stereo, and then sending it's signal back into the card's line in socket. There's probably a lot of signal loss but it does allow me to use my stereo's reverb and equalizer to good advantage. Good enough for what I'm doing.

What u hear problems in vista 32bit

#What u hear problems in vista 32bit2 I just installed the newer variety of the x-fi notebook card with the wireless broadcast function, and for whatever reason installing the drivers failed the first time, I tried a clean install after that, and the microphone is displayed as not available and what u hear isn't present either, so is there a problem in the driver installation or are those features just non existent in the newer software I also noticed that line in works and the microphone input doesn't, gah, windows fixta is irritating,
EDIT: I found out how to get what u hear to work, I kind of felt stupid but all you have to do is right click in the recording device manager and hit show disabled devices and boom what u hear and the microphone input are there, for what reason I don't know why they were disabled in the first place, but hope this helps anyone with the same problem

+Re: "What U Hear" Missing in Win7G ?
Agreed! I have an X-FI Extreme, upgraded to win 7, installed the latest audio drivers, and have just spent the last 2 hours trying to get my "what u hear" back without any luck at all.
I'll also mention that "disabled devices" are shown in the recording options, so that is not the issue.
I was using vista before with the exact same hardware and "what u hear" was available. The driver version was 5.2..200 dated 4/02/07 ... The current driver for windows-7 is 5.2..208 dated 3/08/2009. Maybe installing an older driver would do the trick? I don't know if that would work as I haven't been able to find the old driver I was using for download (just been bombarded with broken links). I'm also guessing that you'll be held hostage to the latest drivers in windows 7.
Get the latest drivers to lose functionality? Sounds like something apple would pull on you!
If anyone has a solution for this, please let us know, otherwise I'll be rolling all the way back to good old XP again.

[WIN7] Enable Microphone and "What U Hear" at the same time?

Hey folks!
I am trying to enable both at the same time on my Windows 7 in order to record Battlefield 2 and my own voice at the same time.
Please do NOT start with "do this and that", I have tried everything for at least 1 year by now and the only way to make it work is to have microphone and "What U Hear" enabled. Apparently it is not possible. In order to activate one of both you have to make it "Default" record device but then the other device gets disabled. Trying to record the disabled device obviously ends up in silence.
What is the reason for that and how to enable BOTH devices at the same time?
I am using PAX Drivers which the maker always updates to the latest Creative Drivers. So I am up to date.
Thank you a lot in advance.

Thank you for your reply.
Well, yes, the microphone is activated. And if I put the microphone playback volume to 100 I can hear myself talk even with "What U Hear" as my default recotding device. But once battlefield 2 starts it uses the default recording device for the in-game voice over IP. If I select "what U hear" as the default device it will basically put the game sound into the VOIP...
What I tried was - set microphone as default device, launch BF2 so it registers the microphone as VOIP input, then alt tab out, select What U Hear as default device but it does not get activated! I only see a bar at the microphone.
What I want is to be able to have TWO volume bars, in What U Hear AND Microphone so I can use the microphone for BF2 and What U Hear as gameplay-sound for my recording device.
In Windows XP this was possible. In Windows 7 this is missing.
The problem here is that once a recording device (the Default one usually) is being used by a program it BLOCKS the other recording devices.

Microphone and "What U Hear" can't be enabled at the same time.

Hi,
so this is what I am currently doing: I am streaming li've online game play with the help of Flash Media Li've Encoder. It uses the What U Hear option,? without any problems, so far. Sometimes though I would like to coment on whats currently happening (in the game) with "What U Hear" though enabled, my microphone is disabled and I can not do that. Any voip software then ofc. gives me error messages, that my microphone is not available.
Surely there must be a way to enable the mic and what u hear
My OS is Win7 x64
and my soundcard is a creative x-fi xtreme music

Try unmuting mic in playback section of mixer

Microphone and what U hear can not be use at the same time at the same time

I am using Creative SB X-fi Xtreme Gamer (Creative Model Number: SB073A), sound card and have down loaded the latest drivers (version 2.18.15). What U hear is enabled, which in turned makes the microphone unavailable. If you reverse the settings, then what U hear is unavailable.
It appears that; microphone and "What U Hear" can't be enabled at the same time. If someone has an answer on how to correct the following settings to achieve; using the microphone and what U hear at the same time would be appreciated.
My OS is WIN 7x32

It was possible in Windows XP but due to windows 7 own audio mixer this does not work anymore.

"What u Hear" problem with vis

I used to use the option "What U Hear" a lot when i sat in teamspeak/ventrilo, if i wanted to play of a song or something to my friends, then i just switched from Microphone to "what u hear" then the people would hear what i was playing.
Anyway, i've tried this in vista, and so far i've not gotten it to work, so i wonder if anyone here has done it's and can explain to me how its done?
The thing is, i first disable my mic, enable "what u hear", set it to default, the meter comes up showing sound, but when this is done, and i open teamspeak and join my friends servers, and i try to use my push to talk button to "play music/sound" nothing happends, i also sometimes get some sort of error with teamspeak when i have "what u hear" enabled too. So there is a problem somewhere here.
Haven't tried in ventrilo yet, so may be a teamspeak problem as well.
My soundcard is Creative X-FI Xtrememusic.
Edit: Just got it to work, seems to be a slight problem with teamspeak.Message Edited by Nitrius on 03-7-200702:44 PM

I dunno if you have tried it but in ventrilo if you go into setup you can chage the input device there to What u hear, I have use direct sound box unticked. Personally for me changing the input device in vista doesnt work that well with vent. Im not sure how TS works.Message Edited by Renegade87 on 03-7-200702:23 PM

What can i do about my quickly dying ipod and what is the problem?

I bought my ipod touch 4th gen 32gb about 10 months ago in 2011 on December, after about 6 months since i bought it the battery started to last for shorter times. Now ( after 10 months today is 20th of september 2012) it really doesnt last for very long at all. After i fully charge it and play a game and do other stuff aswell it sometimes only lasts for 1 and a half to 2 hours only. It also charges very quickly now. I use both my laptop and the belkin ipod charger to charge it i use the cable that came with the ipod and sometimes use it with a usb extender. I also sometimes use the ipod while it is charging. I also sometimes take it out of charging before it is finished but i don't do this very much because i heard it was bad for the battery.
My question is what can i do about this problem and what might apple be able to do. i want to know how to increase the battery life. And i also want to know is there something i am doing wrong during my charging process or something. I don't to do any of that stuff like taking the back of the ipod off or jailbreaking it, i don't want to stuff the ipod up and i want to keep it like a real ipod. Please help i really want to keep my ipod in good condition so please help if you can
Thank you

Hello!
So my iPod Touch battery is like this too..except worse. I can't take mine off the charger considering it will die in less than a minute. I recently posted a question like this too so if I get any feedback, i'll let u know. Stay in there & dont charge it unless it's COMPLETELY dead (not to were it turns off, but to were it's telling you "20% Battery Remaining), and don't take it off the charger unless it's COMPLETELY charged. Hope I helped a little, and i'll get back to you if I find anything else. Sorry to hear about this! #IKnowHowYouFeel #DumbBatteries

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?

Problem with printing checks from quicken 2004 - using Vista (32bit) and Officejet J6480

I have used my quicken 2004 version with my old XP with no problems and HP officejet J6480 All-in-One. Just got a new computer and everything was going great until I went to print checks - it prints one line and then stops printing. I assume the problem is with the Vista - is the Quicken 2004 too old?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot print checks with Quicken, when using your HP Officejet Pro 6830e all-in-one on iOS. I am happy to take a look into this issue for you! Some questions for you: What version of iOS are you using? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.What happens when you try to print in TextEdit?Are you able to make copies with the printer?

And what exactly is problem 1008?

I am having very similar issues as the many (apparently VERY many) folks frustrated by error 5002. I am having trouble with pre-orders, getting error message 1008.
I have the latest version of iTunes. Everything on the computer is fully updated.
Not to get too "511" with my music preferences, but by way of sharing my problem's "context":
I was able to pre-order a George Michael album - that had no advance single available - with no problem. However, while trying to pre-order Mariah Carey and Madonna's upcoming releases - both of which have free, advance singles that purchasers receive at the time of pre-order - I get error message 1008. Coincidence? Conspiracy? I have no idea. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing here. Unable to download full albums.
The error message I get is:
"An unknown error occurred (1008). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
Well, I have been trying for 3 days, without any luck.
If I use song credits I can download individual songs. Trying to complete an album afterwards fails. Gathering from the above comments, the problem seems to go away once all credits have been used. However, I am not willing to try that out, just to see if it works. I'd like to spend my credits a little more discriminately.
Where are the pros? Do they have any answers. Methinks, this is not an isolated problem.

My unlocked iphone 4s doesnot work in every country I travel to. It needs a Turbo Sim in some countries for it to work! Why? and what's the problem?

I got my unlocked iphone 4s from Apple store. It works in most of the countries I travel to, but in some it keeps showing a 'Searching' signal! I had to buy a turbo sim for it to work! Is the problem from my 4s or the sim? an why this is happening?

To my best knowledge turbo sim does not hack a phone. I have not used it to unlock the phone, i have already bought it unlocked. Am pretty sure its not an issue with my iphone, I have been using it normally all around the countires I have been to, till i faced the mentioned problem in one country and they fixed it by using a turbo sim. Now that I have left the country, am back to using my 4s without the turbo sim and it's working perfectly fine.
Thanx anyway...

"What U Hear" Help!

Ok...so i installed the latest drivers for my Soun Blaster X-Fi and "What U Hear" showed up like it should. Now it just doesn't pick-up the audio. So i hear from some people to buy a mixer, i bought a mixer and had a cord running from the PC Audio OUT to the IN on the mixer, and from the OUT on the mixer to the MIC (Pc Audio IN)....this worked a lil bit but the sound had Vibrations in it, fuzziness at times, high pitched at times...and was just worse if i turned up any sound on the mixer. So i tried another idea someone gave me and connected an Audio cable from the OUT on the pc to the IN on the pc...and it worked just as good as the mixer...with the humming, fuzziness, high pitch, vibrations. I can't Figure it out! I'm trying to get this to work with Recording but not only that i want to do LIVE broadcasting on a site called Justin.tv but when my friend listens to it it has the vibrations in it like my computer shows as well.. Any ideas
Oh and i was using Windows VISTA...which i hate then i upgraded to Windows 7 Release Candidate...all tho it hasn't made it any better. Honestly its wierd cuz it works better sometimes and then sometimes the sound is much, much worse. Any help wud be appreciated.

If you have a sound card then just use the line in from the card to record from the player. Just select line-in as the source so recording.

"What U Hear" Setup Help Needed

Hello. For a long time now, I have been recording media streams online using a third party software which captures whatever is on the screen. However, I haven't been able to record the audio.
But today I found out that my soundcard (Creative X-Fi Gamer) has 'What U Hear'. As I understand it, this allows me to record whatever comes out of my speakers. The program I use for recording apparently supports this.
I enabled it in the Windows Recording tab, but that's as far as I've gotten. I have tried my third party program, and also the default recording on Windows 7. I have tried playing media streams from online, as well as music through Winamp and Windows Media Player. There is still no sound being recorded. I have the latest drivers.
So I am hoping someone can help me set it up. Is there anything else I should be doing? My speakers are plugged into the green 'line out' socket on the soundcard. Should they be plugged in somewhere else?
Thanks in advance

Hmm. I'm wondering if this is a common problem and just unnoticed or very rare (I found it a few times via Google search, but no solutions).
So could you, or somebody else, do me a favour
In Windows Vista:
- Turn off "What you hear" via Mixer / Windows Settings
- Set Microphone Input to 00%
- Enable Microphone Boost
- Set Windows Sound Output Volume to 00% (if you got boxes, lower the volume, of course)
- If you got a Mic: Mute it via Hardware Switch or just make sure it doesn't record anything or unplug it from the sound-card
- Start a Media Player and play loud music (set Volume to 00% here as well)
- Start Windows "Audio Recorder" (under Accessories)
- Record for ~ 0 seconds
- Save the File
- turn off the music
- Play the recorded file
If you hear something, then you got the same problem. If you don't hear anything at all, well, I am alone here in the forum with this bug
