XFi Elite and Microphone Probl

Hi All,?I am using a headset and microphone for gaming but i am having real problems getting the microphone working!I have followed the guides on this site with no luck. I have my mic plugged in to the Line in 2/Mic in 2 socket and the dial turned fully anticlockwise as per the instructions.Everything in control panel is set to match.When i fire up the creative console i dont see any input either even though it all seems set correctly.Now the big problem of course is when i use skype i no one can hear me. I have tried simply recording my voice from the mic but no luck there either.Any suggestions would be very welcome!!?Thanks!Selkie2006

The Mic2/Line2 input is for dynamic microphones -- I'm?using a RadioShack 33-3043 (600 Ohm Dyn) in it w/o problems. If the headset has a elec. mic, you'll have to use the regular mic in on the back of the card.

XFI Elite Pro to Inspire 5500 speakers, no rear so

I have an xFI Elite Pro and some Inspire 5500 Digital Surround Sound speakers. If I initiate a test from the remote that controls the Speaker's "brain" I get all surround points working just fine, so I know they are connected properly from there. From the "brain" I have the /8th" cable that came with the speakers for a digital connection to a soundcard connected to the flexjack on the back of the soundcard part of the xFI and it is set to Digital I/O. Whenever I initiate a test from the Creative Software, when it says "rear right" and "rear left", it comes out the front speakers. I have the CMSS turned off . I have the decoding turned off on the sound card cause the speakers take care of the decoding. What am I doing wrong? Please help, thanks.

Well,
I went back to gigabyte.com.tw and this time, there were new BIOS available ... I still don't understand why they weren't there yesterday ..
Anyway, I updated to F6 (latest version) and ... sound is still very low, crappy, crackkkkking and so on ..
I'm gonna throw this through the window :'(

XFI-Extreme Music-Microphone is not detec

First of hey and sorry if this is an appropriate post but i looked at the stickies and they didn't help so im posting.
Ive had a XFI card for almost over 2 years now and obviously i have been using the sound for it but i haven't connected my microphone to it as I've have been using the realtek drivers on my motherboard but last week i lost on microphone input and had to resort to using a USB mic that i borrowed, thinking it was my headset i brought another and tried today and its still not recognizing my voice. So i plugged the mic in my XFI port and tried to see if it reconises voice but it doesn't, but when i go through the help and set up software and it asks to speak out the sentence it doesn't pick it up but if i turn the mic on and off it picks up sound for a brief second. I updated all drivers both for the card and motherboard and tried using both headsets which both work perfectly and still no luck so im asking outto you guys if you had the same problems and have the solution to my problem.
Thanks in advanced

I guess that should have been more obvious than it was :smileysurprised: yes, I had 'what you hear' selected. That would also explain why muting the playback of the mic was stopping people hearing me on vent/teamspeak.
just going to go check this now, thank you. Two pairs of eyes/brains better than one and all that.
[edit]
yes, that was precisely it - I feel ever so slightly embarrassed but thank you for the help.

XFI ELITE PRO SOUND PROBLEM

Hello i was wondering if someone could help me. I have the Xfi Elite Pro sound card but when im playing a game or watching a film on my pc the computer will just freeze and i get these crazy high pitched screaching noises.Sometimes it scares the hell out of me when it happens it only happens when im watching films or gaming i have to reboot the pc to get it to stop does anyone have any ideas whats going on its like a really loud screatching noise. I have the latest drivers and tried old ones but still happens alot.Does anyone know what this could be thanks rich.

C The 'solution' you provided only touches a very small fraction of the problems with Creative sound cards. Only very unexperienced users may not control which sound card is choosen by their operating system. Many of us work with PCs for decades, being used to modify the registry and so on. The drivers of Creative are of an unexcusable low quality.

Solution to common Windows 7 Xfi Elite Pro installation problem

Solution to common Windows 7 Xfi Elite Pro installation problems Hello,? I have just solved what I understand to be a common problem when upgrading a machine with an Xfi Elite Pro from XP to 64 bit Windows 7. Apparently the console control software for the "older" PCI Soundblaster cards for Win7 isn't done yet. If you've installed Win 7, updated the product identification module and run the new driver that you can find easily on Creative's support site and you still have no sound, try going to the Control Panel in windows. Switch the display to the "small icons" option and select "sounds".
Choose the "playback" tab. You should find a list of possible sound output devices that exist on your machine. You need to highlight the Xfi on that list and then click the "Set as default" button at the bottom of the screen. That should do it for you.
It did it for me.

Cannot Adjust Recording Volume (XFI Elite P

Hello, I'm having trouble with my XFI Elite Pro. Whenever I go to record something and I select the device I want to use the volume knob automatically goes down to the third line. If i turn to turn it up or down it automatically shots back down there instantly. The playback knobs all work fine its only the recording ones and its every device I have that does it. Has anyone ever had this problem? I tried updating to the newest driver/firmware but it didn't change anything. Thanks in advance!

Melvoidium,
I've received many direct communications recently, but don't
know if one of them was you, using a "real name", or if you are
still looking for a way to contact me privately. Assuming you are
still looking, a few notes are worthy of passing along.
1) I don't frequent the forums as much as I used to, but
there are other experts such as Paul Dewhurst and Steve Shipe, two
Community Experts who were among the very first MVP's - and others
as well - who can help when I'm not around. So please, consider
using these User Forums as your first choice in asking questions.
You will get answers, and those answers can be shared with others
when the conversation takes place here.
2) That said, thank you for the vote of confidence in asking
how to reach me. If you really feel it is in your own and others
best interests to communicate one-on-one, you can contact me by
clicking my pseudonym, "CatBandit" in the left column on this or
any other thread. That will take you to my profile, and my email

Hope this helps.

How do I use a headset with separate headphone and microphone jacks on my macbook air

I have a new macbook air and a headset with separate headphone and microphone jacks. Where (how) do I plug in the microphone jack into the computer?

This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need.

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions?

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions and not have to pay to have the entire main board replaced. Preferably something under $100.

I don't think you're likely to find a set of external speakers that come with a microphone and plug directly into a USB port. There are USB audio cards that look like tiny flash drives but have microphone and headphone ports in them, to which you can connect a typical two-plug Windows PC headset with a microphone, or else you can connect external speakers and a stand-alone microphone. Those adapters typically cost under $10. I don't know anything about the quality of sound that can be expected from them.
I have a Griffin iMic, which is much the same idea but larger, a bit more expensive (retail~$40), and perhaps delivers somewhat better sound quality (I hope so, but I don't know because I've never had occasion to try one of the little ones).

Control Speaker and Microphone in MAC

Hi,
I've written a sample code to control Audio System (like: Speaker and Microphone volume, Mute/Unmute, etc...). I can do this in Windows and Linux as well. But I'm facing problem to control this in MAC. Could you please help me out from this issue?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
ARIF

i have same problem:
here is my java code which works fine on windows:
public void setMicrophoneVolume(int value) {
        Mixer.Info[] mixerInfos = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
        for (int i = 0; i < mixerInfos.length; i++) {
            Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(mixerInfos);
int maxLines = mixer.getMaxLines(Port.Info.MICROPHONE);
Port lineIn = null;
FloatControl volCtrl = null;
if (maxLines > 0) {
try {
lineIn = (Port) mixer.getLine(Port.Info.MICROPHONE);
lineIn.open();
CompoundControl cc = (CompoundControl) lineIn.getControls()[0];
Control[] controls = cc.getMemberControls();
for (Control c : controls) {
if (c instanceof FloatControl) {
volCtrl = (FloatControl) c;
volCtrl.setValue((float) value / 100);
} catch (Exception ex) {
continue;
}code for speaker is similar.
The problem is that mixer.getMaxLines(...)
always return 0.
If remove check for maxlines for example:
get exception on line lineIn = (Port) mixer.getLine(Port.Info.MICROPHONE);
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Line unsupported: MICROPHONE source port
        at com.sun.media.sound.HeadspaceMixer.getLine(HeadspaceMixer.java:241)
        at UI.VolumePanel.setMicrophoneVolume(VolumePanel.java:137)

How I calculate the flv file size whe I recording from camera and microphone?

Hi all:
I'm recording video from my webcam and my microphone.
I would like to know how I can to determinate via some formula, approximately, the result file size due to camera and microphone configuration.
I show you my actual configuration:
     // setup cam
    cam = Camera.get();
    // setting dimensions and framerate
    cam.setMode(320, 240, 30);
    // set to minimum of 70% quality
    cam.setQuality(0,70);
    // setup mic
    mic = Microphone.get();
    mic.setRate(22);
Only ohert question:
What enconders are using to encoder video and audio by default?
Regards, Roberto.

I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.

Flash Player security Pop up when using camera and microphone.

Hello Friends
Can any body suggest me how to remove flash player security pop up for camera and microphone through coding.
Thanks in advance.

The security pop-up was first introduced with FP7. If you want to bypass it I can name two ways off the top of my head:
1. Regardless of ActionScript version (2.0/3.0) in the Flash authoring enviroment, in the Publish Settings dialogue box, the Flash tab, near the bottom choose Access Network Only from Local Playback Security.
2. Publish your movie as a projector. Both of these techniques will allow to "play" your swf file locally.
