Windows7 64 bit and Audigy 2 choppy sound while recording what you hear

Driver version I have currently installed 6.0..37 I tried to record off youtube in "What You hear" while using Wavelab5 mode and the sound is very choppy, I tried every setting I could think of but am unable to record, I managed to get one recording but tnext one with same settings is coming up rearry choppy. Another problem when browsing the support I click on "If your product is not listed above, please click here" I choose Audigy-->Audigy2 but I get nothing in the next window, I tried on FF and IE8 but nothing populates in the next field, found another way to get to the drivers but when I choose Windows 7 64 bit and choose drivers it takes me to the main support page here <a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/welcome.aspx"]http://support.creative.com/welcome.aspx[/url]
I am on:
Intel Q2600
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6
2 x 2GB DDR2 - 800 CL4 Ballistix
Windows7 Ultimate 64 bit
Kaspersky Internet Security 200.
All current Windows7 updates are installed.
Oh yeah I can hear music (mp3, avi, youtube or any online source) no problem in either winamp, WMP2 or in Wavelab5 while monitoring. It's only the recording that is giving me trouble.
Cheers
Rob.

<div class="DownloadDate">"Release date : 3 Jul 09<div class="DownloadShortDesc">This?download is a?driver providing Microsoft? Windows?7, Windows Vista? and Windows XP support for Creative Sound Blaster? Audigy? series of audio devices. For more details, read the rest of this web release note."?
Right where do I start...... I got the latest drivers installed, "What You Hear" was working for about oh four recordings then stopped and back to choppy recorded sound, I went through alll options and nada. So I downloaded Audacity to see if this was a problem with Wavelab and re-tried. Well same thing choppy sound and even rebooting did not help. So I will be taking EVERYTHING!!!!!! CREATIVE off my machine, if these idiots cannot be bothered to release drivers that work then I'm going elsewhere. My music creating will have to be put on hold, my 22m will still have to sit in it's box.
Creative you are all a bunch of ?$"?%$%" idiots period. You have ALWAYS (till now in my case anyway) had good drivers. Even though Windows 7 has been in RC for ages you (absolutely missed that boat, hell you didn't even get up to try to catch it) cannot be bothered to write drivers that work and your idiotic half cooked attempts at customer service to give your bread and butter (that's right your customers who keep you in business) solid drivers are an absolute joke. YOU CAN KISS MY SHINY METAL HINEY!!!!! (thanks Bender lol). I am going to my onboard drivers. Thanks Creative (the name "creative" is kind of contradiction in itself, you should look up the meaning of the word lol). Oh and I will be advising EVERYONe who thinks of upgrading to Windows7 to avoid Creative hardware.

Question for forum users: what is the best way to get rid of every bit of drivers?

Record what you hear

I have a Pavillion DV8-1250EA 4 GB RAM 2x320 GB Discs which has an IDT HD Audio device and uses the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
I want to knwo how to record audio internally (e.g. audio played from the Internet).
I am able to do this on my desktop which has a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card and runs Windows XP Professional 32-bit by recording "What You Hear".
It seems just a little bit of an oversight to have omitted this functionality on such a powerful and feature-packed system designed for multi-media.

I do run Audacity and I have tried to use this to record "What You Hear" on the HP Laptop. The only recording device shown in Audacity is Master. If I try to use this to record, it only picks up inputs from the inbuilt microphone and the externl microphone, if attached. Any sound coming out of the speakers is picked up by the inbuilt microphone and can be recorded in this way but that is, obviously, not satisfactory.
Another method would be to cable the earphone output to the external microphone input and disable or mute the built-in microphone. Again, this is hardly satisfactory.
I would have expected the audio detected internally to be available for recording, which it is not because I do not believe the IDT HD drivers present it.
In desperation, I have contacted IDT directly.
This is the sort of thing I have taken for granted, having had an excellent sound system on my desktop for years. It seems that Soundblaster takes some beating, both in terms of quality and technology. Perhaps HP would do well to consider this.

Recording What You Hear

Does anyone know if there is a way to record what you hear with Audtion 3? I recently upgraded from Audition 1 when I upgraded my pc and os. I would like to be able to record streaming sound from the internet. I am using Vista (32 bit) and Windows 7 (64 bit)on the two computers that have Audtion 3 installed. Thanks for you input. This question seems to be unaswered on the internet.

Actually, there's discussion about this all over the Internet.
The problem is your move to Vista and Windows 7
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

"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)
If I disable onboard audio and add a sound blaster 24 USB card will I have that function?Message Edited by k2koq on 0-22-200707:49 PM

I will answer my own question:
Just got the Blaster Li've 24 USB..
Installation...easy
sound ...excellent
Does it record what it hears..YES!
thank you soundblaster.

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.

Recording what you hear on the comp

Well I got cubase but everytime i export the song the sounds are all different and ultimately the song sounds completely different then it was on the program, and even if i figured out how to fix this, i still have the problem of converting it a different format. So, instead of doing the two i was hoping to see if there is any way i can record what i hear on the computer. I tried and i didnt find a way and hoping someone here could guide me... i got an Audigy 2 Value and Windows XP if that is of any help. It be very appreciated if someone could help me. Thanks

which version of cubase are you using? as i dont use the home pakages im not 100% on if evertythings the same but im sure this will be! what export function are you using? and what is the input channel selected recording in the computers audio devices! if you select the input as waves that might help the "what you hear" recording outside of cubase.
use said you are using only midi files i agree with jutapa about using the vsti's if you read the cubase manual you will find that it mentions something about not being about to mixdown outside midi functions with out syncing the device cubase or something along those lines!
i didn't pay all that much attention as it's never been a problem for me!
here the part of the manual on mix down
The Export Audio Mixdown function in Cubase SX/SL allows you to mix
down audio from the program to a file on your hard disk, in a number of
formats. You can choose to mix down one of the following:
An output bus.
For example, if you have set up a stereo mix with tracks routed to a stereo output bus,
mixing down that output bus would give you a mixdown file containing the whole mix.
Similarly, you can mix down a complete surround bus, either to a single multi-channel
file (interleaved) or to one file per surround channel (split).
The channel for an audio track (Cubase SX only).
This will mix down the channel for the track, complete with insert effects, EQ, etc. This
can be useful for turning a number of events into a single file, or if you are using CPUintensive
insert effects – by exporting the track and re-importing it into the project you
can turn off the insert effect, saving processor power.
Any kind of audio channel in the mixer (Cubase SX only).
This includes VST Instrument channels, effect return channels (FX Channel tracks),
Group channels and ReWire channels. There are many uses for this – for example, you
can mix down an effect return track or turn individual ReWire channels into audio files.
Notes
The Export Audio Mixdown function mixes down the area between the
left and right locator.
When you mix down, you get what you hear – mutes, mixer settings
and insert effects are taken into account.
Note though that you will only include the sound of the bus or channel you select for
mixdown.
here's the bit okay seems you can't record midi in the mix down at all you have to record it like a normal audio file first. that's just with the record button on to a normal audio track you'll have to figure out how to get your midi to feed through into cubase
the way i do it is only leave the information out to the midi device plugged in and then plug the analog out put of the device into the input that cubase will record this will make sure cubase records the file as an audio file with out getting a cross over of the midi information being sent(i hope that makes sence some times i can make a muddle of explaining things). there are other ways to do this but this ways nice and simple and lazy! and works just aswell as any other.
MIDI tracks are not included in the mixdown!
To make a complete mixdown containing both MIDI and audio, you first need to record
all your MIDI music to audio tracks (by connecting the outputs of your MIDI instruments
to your audio inputs and recording, as with any other sound source).
With Cubase SX, you can also export selected tracks – this is a different
function that doesn’t create an audio mixdown.
Rather, this is a way to transfer complete tracks (including clips and events) from one
project to another
i left everything else in just in case you wanted to check through it!
1. Set up the left and right locator to encompass the area that you want
to mix down.
2. Set up your tracks, so that they play back the way you want.
This includes muting unwanted tracks or parts, making manual mixer settings and/or
activating the R (Read) automation buttons for some or all mixer channels.
3. Pull down the File menu and select “Audio Mixdown…” from the
Export submenu.
The Export Audio Mixdown dialog appears.
The upper half of this dialog is a standard file dialog, while the lower
half contains file format options and settings for the mixdown function.
Note that the available settings and options differ depending on the
selected file format
Select the bus or channel you want to mix down with the Outputs popup
menu (with Cubase SL you can only export busses, not channels).
This lists all output busses and channels in the active project.
5. Select the channel configuration for the mixdown file with the
Channels pop-up menu.
Typically you would select the same channel configuration as the bus or channel you’re
mixing down, but it’s also possible to e.g. mix down a stereo bus to a mono file. In this
case a warning will appear, asking if that’s what you want to do.
Here you will also find the “N. Chan. Split” and “N. Chan. Interleaved” options – these
allow you to create a surround mixdown file, either as one mono file per surround channel
– split – or as a single multi-channel file – interleaved (Cubase SX only).
The Channels pop-up and the “N. Chan” options are only available when
an uncompressed file format is selected (AIFF, uncompressed Wave,
Wave64 or Broadcast Wave).
For the other formats you can select stereo or mono using controls that are specific to
each format. When mixing down to 5.1 Surround, you also have the option to mix down
to Windows Media Audio Pro (Windows and Cubase SX only) – see page 670.
6. Select a file format with the File type pop-up menu.
7. Make additional settings for the file to be created.
This includes selecting sample rate, resolution, quality, etc. The available options depend
on the selected file format – see page 660.
8. If you want to automatically import the resulting audio file back into
Cubase SX/SL, activate the “Import to” checkboxes.
If you activate the “Pool” checkbox, a clip referring to the file will appear in the Pool.
Activating the “Audio Track” checkbox as well will create an audio event that plays the
clip, and place it on a new audio track, starting at the left locator.
The Import options are only available if you have selected an uncompressed
file format (AIFF, uncompressed Wave, Wave64 or Broadcast
Wave files).
9. If you activate Real-Time Export, the export will happen in real time, i.e.
the process will take the same time as regular playback.
Some VST plug-ins require this to have time to update correctly during the mixdown –
consult the plug-in manufacturers if uncertain.
CUBASE SX/SL
Export Audio Mixdown 27 – 659
When Real-Time Export is activated, the exported audio will be played
back on the Audition bus.
The fader below the Real-Time Export checkbox allows you to adjust the volume of the
Audition bus.
10.If you activate Update Display, the meters will be updated during the
export process.
This allows you to check for clipping, for example.
11.Select a folder and a name for the audio file to be created.
With some file formats you can create split stereo files (see page 661).
This will create two files (one for each side) with the same name, but
with the letter “L” appended for the left channel file and “R” for the right
channel file.
In the same way, split multi-channel (surround) files (Cubase SX only) will have the
same name followed by a number indicating the surround channel.
12.Click Save.Depending on the file format, an additional dialog may appear.For example, when exporting to MP3 format a dialog appears where you can add infoabout the song title, artist, etc. Make the desired
settings and click OK to proceed.A dialog with a progress bar is displayed while the audio file is created.If you change your mind during the file creation, you can click theAbort button to abort the operation.if you
have activated any of the “Import to” options, the file will be importedback into the project.When playing back the re-imported file in Cubase SX/SL, remember to mute the originaltracks so that you really hear the true result.
hope thast helps

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

Record what you hear with X-Fi on Win 7?

I searched around and still have a problem with this.
I've tried both the Windows Update driver and the Creative driver from the Soundblaster X-Fi Support page.
Neither have given me the option to enable "Stereo Mix" or "wave Out" or anything to enable me to Record what I hear through my speakers. (In control panel > sound > right click "show disabled devices" nothing shows up but "Auxiliary")
This used to work fine on XP before I upgraded to Win7. Now I can get it to work...any other ideas besides the ones I've tried already? Thanks.

, I've got this same issue as well. I'm on 2.7.007 drivers in windows 7 64 bit and I don't have any of the options for recording speaker sound. It's a little disappointing. I spent years on a generic integrated sound card and could do this any time I wanted. I upgrade to a titanium x-fi card and love the sound, but I miss those abilities.

Audigy 2 ZS plat Pro, "What you hear"? problem PLEASE H

Hello, im a gamer, I play cs:source. I just bought the plat pro and I have issues. In gaming you must use a microphone to communicate. And everything was great with my Audigy gamer. But after purchasing the plat pro I noticed I had a problem. In the system volume properties in recording windows xp has the default playback as "what you hear". It doesnt transmit what you speak into the microphone, it transmits "what you hear" Lets say you were listening to music and you try to talk into the mic. All they hear is the music, even though you have headphones on and the microphone isnt picking it up. Anyways, thats what "What you hear" does. So I select microphone in the recording properties and all is great, problem fixed. but when I load up cs:source and when I connect to a server it resets windows defaults to "what you hear" So everytime I connect to a server and try to talk all they hear are my game sounds. yes I can alt tab after connectiing to a server and switch it back again to "microphone" but its quite a hassle.
PLEASE HELP!

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.

Recording What You Hear - How?

Hi.
I run a Podcast. I want to add Sound Effects to my Show.
However, I want to be able to add sound effects on-the-fly.
In other words, *I want to be able to talk while my sound effects are playing*.
(Like the Howard Stern Show / Opie and Anthony / any morning radio show).
*Is there a way in GarageBand to Record all of the sounds that are being heard through my speakers?*
Thanks for your time.
Barry

Don't listen with speakers. Monitor with headphones. You should be hearing the output from GB, not just the Mic. As a test, create a software instrument and do some "musical typing" while you talk. If that works, set up a separate track for your sound effects.

Can't "record what you hear" Win 7 64 w/ Audition 3.0

The whole idea behind upgrading to a new computer was to better facilitate this capability. I need to be able to record audio as I play programs via Windows Media Center, YouTube or any other audio as it plays on my system. This worked flawlessly under XP with Audition 1.5
I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100 with Realtek HD sound card. I have enabled "Stereo mix" as the default recording device. I have made sure that option is checked under Audio Hardware Options in Adobe 3.0. Still nothing.
This is quite critical as I'm expected to deliver audio clips to my boss daily and no longer have the capability to record and edit them.
Only thing I can find online is some success stories involving enabling "stereo mix" (I've already done that) in Windows recording mixer dialog. Still nothing.
Need help soon.

nvm. I somehow missed step 7.4 on this page: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/524251 Seems to work, now. WHEW.

Ripping internet streaming is made more difficult by the fact that it is not possible to set a file size or timeout. I gather that these settings cannot be enabled by the sound card (from reading the Help Dialogue). What are my options, other than post-editing a 7 hour recording!

Recording WHAT YOU Hear from a website?

Really cool loop from a music company that I would like to record and then send in my email to the SAME music company!
Possible? How!
Anyway to get it to play when the user opens his/her email?
Thanks!
FOUND IT, AUdio Hijack!

I know there's software to directly record anything playing through the sound card in your computer, but I don't know where to get such software, so here's something else you can do to record the music.
First, download Audacity from audacity.sourceforge.net.
Second, get a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm stereo cable (male on both ends) and run it from the headphone jack to the microphone input on your computer.
Open Audacity, and click the record button.
Start playing the song (it won't play through your speakers, but you should see it recording in Audacity).
When the song is over, click stop, and use Audacity to clip out anything it recorded that wasn't part of the song. Save the song.
If the company you email the song to has HTML email, you can send your email in HTML format and embed the song from an online location so it starts playing automatically. (Upload the song to a web server and use the <embed src="http://yourwebserver.com/yoursong.mp3"> tag to embed the music. Replace http://yourwebserver.com/yoursong.mp3 with the URL for your song). If they don't have HTML email, you can send the song as an attachment and it might start playing automatically, depending on their mail client, but it might not. You can't really control what it does.
