What U Hear sta

I've got an X-FI ExtremeMusic running Windows Vista x64. I recently installed the May 30th drivers from Creative and now whenever I record from "What U Hear," the sound is extremely distorted and crackly. The volume level is fine, but the sound has a persistent skipping pulsating thing to it.
Here's a link to what it sounds like if I record silence from "What U Hear":?http://rapidshare.com/files/4057339/Skipping.wav.html?This problem occurs no matter what program I use to record (Audacity, Soundbooth, Audition, etc...)?What's the deal?P.S. I had the same May 30th drivers installed before, but for some odd reason I needed to reinstall them. First thing I noticed was that there was a new "Sound Blaster" tab in the device properties and the icon for the Audio Console changed. Before yesterday, everything worked fine. I haven't made any changes to my system, either. Edit: Oh yes, and thanks, Creative, my system no longer wants to reboot or shut down with these drivers installed.Message Edited by Locust76 on 07-02-200705:2 AM

Nevermind, I managed to fix my own problem. The May 30th drivers are absolute garbage. I found the May 24th drivers on Softpedia.com and installed those with no problem.

  • How come my final bounces have some much more bass in them then what I hear when I am mixing them

    No matter setting I try when I bounce them, there is noticeably more bass in the final mix....I keep trying to pull it back and just keeps ending up in the mix. Unless I just kill it...what happened to what you hear is what you get.
    Mac Mini 2.4 running Lion. Logic 9.1.5 running in 64 bit mode.  8 gig of ram. Mix is on seperate 7200 speed drive.
    I have been a live engineer for years. Used Sonar for a long time. Always got want heard in monitors with that. Have switched to Logic and man I am get not getting my bounces to sound like what I mixed.
    I am listening to them back in iTunes as Wave files.
    What the heck am I doing wrong??? Have tried offline, live, normalization on and off....changed every config I can think of....
    Just plain weird or this just the symptom of a product that seems like it is being ignored in all the imania.....

    Hi
    Did you check iTunes playback preferences to see if the "Sound Enhancer " etc are turned off?
    Does the Wav sound OK if you listen yo it via Quicktime?

    I do not have 'what you hear' as an option any longer with the new Titanium; I had it with my older X-Fi Fatalty, but not this new card.
    I would imagine it has something to do with Microsoft trying to limit recording of DRM-protected content, and Creative bowing to their wishes.

  • [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.

  • 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.

  • Mac output as input in LE8 ? ("What you hear")

    I'm a new user, upgraded from Garageband 09, but am a previous cakewalk user from my Windows era. Back in windows, on my XFI audio card there was an option to use the actual output of the PC as an input somewhere in one of the audio programs. It was called "What you hear".
    So i'm wondering is this possible on the mac, through the bus settings or something? So what i mean is, whatever is coming Out to the speakers can be routed as an input to be recorded. So if i have a youtube or video in a browser or some audio from another program it can be recorded directly into Logic.
    Any ideas?

    With programs like Soundflower (http://www.cycling74.com/products/soundflower) or JackOSX (http://www.jackosx.com/) you can route any audio input to any audio output.
    But this is not the right solution for your needs......
    The best way is to download the videos and extract the audio track from them.
    To do this you'll have to buy a Quicktime Pro license and install these free apps:
    1. Firefox with a plugin called Video Download Helper (to download the videos from youtube etc.)
    2. Perian (to manage several audio format)
    3. Flip4Mac free (to read WMV files).

  • Need to record what I hear from speakers with other program

    I need to record what I hear with a program that can record a programs video and audio.
    Is there any way to set speakers as the recording source, instead of mic, or can I set it to both speakers and mic?
    If not, then we need an upgrade to our audio mixer that allows this to be done so we can use programs like Snagit or Camtasia to record our music programs playing.  The way it is now, I can only set the mic as the recording source, so I miss the audio the program is playing but get the video of the program playing it.

    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.

  • "What you hear" recording volume is too

    I have Soundblaster Audigy 2 on Vista 64-bit. I recently downloaded new drivers (6.0..242). This is after converting from XP and old drivers.
    My "What you hear" settings work and will record using MediaSource Player, but the volume on the recorded file is about 25% the volume of the original file. This is verified upon replaying both the original and newly-recorded files side-by-side or right after one another.
    When opening the Sound Panel>Recording Devices>"What You Hear">Levels, the levels are to the max and the balance is to the max for both right and left channels.
    Although probably irrelevent, under Sound Panel>Playback Devices>Speakers>Levels, play control levels are max, and all other sublevels are?maxed, balanced maxed, and unmuted. (Sorry for my lack of technical description.)
    I play the file on Windows Media Player and volume is maxed on the player as well. The interesting thing is when you look in the Sound Panel, the speakers show maxed volume and the "What you hear" only shows, again 25% of the volume.
    Previously, I had no problems with XP and old drivers. I also was once able to revert to old drivers (which I can no longer do) and the problem went away. The difference was that the old drivers had a "Wav" level setting (under Sound Panel>Playback Devices>Speakers>Levels) where you could increase the level. These drivers don't appear to provide this setting.
    Is there some setting I'm missing? Any help would be great. Thanks!

    Which card/software you got there?
    If you use "Creative Surround Mixer" --> you can set the .REC source by pressing the icon located above recording level slider.
    If you can't see the "W-U-H" option listed there, then check if it's already selected (ear icon).

  • "What U Hear" option not available when installing Audigy 1 web drivers, was available bef

    Hello, on the current format of my computer I only installed the latest version of the drivers off of the support website and did not install from the cd that came with sound card. Under Sound Recording from sounds and audio dvices in control panel I can only select SB AUdigy Audio [E400]. Before I remember being able to select "What U Hear".
    Was this left out of the web drivers? Is there anyway to get it without isntalling original driver cd?

    coldpenguin,
    I can't recall much info for the Audigy but see if the option is listed in the properties setting. Open sounds and audio devices and go to audio tab. Click at Volume button of the 'Sound Recording' column. Now click on Options->Properties. Do you have that option listed?

  • Record what you hear programs don't w

    The Audigy ADVANCED MB output works great. But when I try to input sound from . . . the desktop I get nothing. I want to record, perhaps with the Windows Sound Recorder, the same sound that I hear on the speakers. However the Audigy, unlike previous Sound Blaster cards I've worked with, is requiring me to use a line in or a microphone. I've tried re-installing the drivers from the CD. It had no effect. I've tried a number of shareware and freeware programs, all with the same results. Any suggestions?

    Same problem here:?I get the same exact deal and have found only the same solutions. Using my default playback driver (called Digital Audio Interface - SB Audigy) I simply can't record using the corresponding recording driver (called SPDIF-in)... I mean I get nothing out of that recording driver, even when I crank the record level. What gives? Back in the XP days we would just crank the stereo mix on the recording settings, hit record and call it good.
    One thought I had was maybe because I have Win Vista 64 bit. *shrug*. I just think it shouldn't be this ridiculous to record what I hear. I mean do I need another card? I am using the Audigy SE. Frustrating!?I hope some solutions arise soon!!? Any insight?Cheers,?James

  • 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.

    bump~

  • "what you hear" playing all the t

    I have a onboard soundblaster 24-bit li've. I am not sure exactly what the problem is, but whenever I use a mic I can always hear the background system sounds of my computer on top of my voice (ex. system ding, and music I am playing). I found it hard to believe that my mic was picking it up. So I turned down my speakers and played a sound file on my computer while recording it with "sound recorder" (the basic one that comes with windows). and sure enough even though I turned my speakers off it still played through.
    Looking for a solution as I use voice communication software almost daily to coordinate with project leaders. It is very annoying not being able to hear anything without it being echoed back to them.
    I hope this post makes sence to you as I am not all that versed in english =(.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Edit: just realized I should probably add the fact that I do have "mic" checked under recording devices and not "what you hear"Message Edited by Spyder226 on 08-30-2006 07:24 PM

    In order to hear people talking I will need my wave output unmuted...
    so I dont think this will work.
    As for that yes, It does not record anything (sndrec32) when I play music or something but then again I cannot hear anyone so it somewhat defeats the purpose. Let me take another crack at explaining this
    Example:
    ) I will connect to ventrilo while playing music on my headphones.
    2) I will then try and talk to my team leader by pressing PTT (push to talk hotkey). When I press this key, he will hear all of my music as well as my voice all at once. So it makes it very hard to understand me.
    3) Once I turn off the music he can hear me ok again, but every little system sound that occurs he can hear at double the volume.
    Also just to clarify, I only have the microphone input selected in recording and I have all the playback selections muted except for "wave" and "playback"Message Edited by Spyder226 on 08-30-200608:22 PM

  • 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.

  • "What you hear" in Windows Vi

    I have an HP Pavilion with Vista installed (and Realtec audio) and just got Soundblaster USB (model SB0490) with the Vista drivers. What I can't get this to do is to be able to hear what I am trying to record. For instance line-in is from my radio, currently on, output is headphones. USB connected, nothing is muted, volume is turned up. It will record off of the radio and play it back which is hearable. Its just I can't hear it when recording - i.e., no simultaneous playback. In any of the configuration screens such as the simple mixer panel etc. there are no buttons to enable/disable "simultaneous playback"
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Casey Burns

    go to control panel, sound and recording, click on "What U Hear" and choose disable.
    if the device disappears and you want to reenable it, click on a blank area in the box and choose "show disabled devices".

  • SB Audigy Value Windows XP applications All functions includin What U Hear working Proper

    I have SB Audigy Value Card (SE/LS/ Li've 24 bit)Windows Vista 32 bit SP Classic Windows XP applications, Creative EAX SettingsCreative Graphic EqualizerCreative Speaker SettingsDevice Control And XP Drivers 5.2..54 Driver Date: 3.06.2007 Digitally Signed All the settings including "What u Hear" function work flawlessly under 4. system. (I didn't try 5./7. but I think it should work) I just mixed the applications from old and new driver packages and tricked the set-up program to install the XP drivers instead. I'm not a sound expert but I'm much more satisfied with tihs driver especially while listenig to music. I didn't try it with any games so I don't know. Download Link:http://rapidshare.com/files/9395098/...e0077.exe.html All the files included in this package are Creative's property.

    I've spent ages searching the forums and can find other people who have experienced the problem but have yet found a fix. They've also explained the problem better so I'll try and make this a little clearer also.
    When using Ventrillo first people can hear me fine in Ventrillo but an awful sound (described as the sound of 000 demons) in Counter Strike.<
    When using CS first people can hear me fine in Counter Strike but the screeching sound is heard in Ventrillo.<
