View 9 RepliesIm trying to record audio but only record what I hear & not record from my mic. Problem is my mic is my only option. I updated my drivers which are Conexant High Def Smart Audio221 & also NVIDIA High Def Audio. But after I did that I only a 1 single option to choose from when I look under recording devices. And it is showing disabled devices as well. Any idea's on what im doing wrong and/or what I need? Basically I want to record what only comes out of my speakers & not pic up any backround noise from my mic.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an old (high quality) grammophone record player and want to create CD music records from my grammophone records. Apparently I need some kind of an external Soundcard to my Vista laptop (home premium), but when I search on Google I get many hits which seem to meet the target of feeding loudspeakers or headphones from PC files, not create files on the PC from external media.
"something" (make&model) to connect my record player to my PC, preferably with suitable software to process the incoming sound and make file(s) on the PC. If there is a newsgroup better suited for this enquiry I shall be grateful for information.
Got myself a Creative PCI express Xfi extreme audio a couple of months ago and have now come to the conclusion that it sucks... There´s betadrivers for most other cards BUT the one I got and I read som where that it´s a older card just being re-labled.. Great.
I listen to tons of music and play games, mostly counterstrike Source, i have Sennheiser HD555 phones and a Logitec Z-5500 5.1 soundsystem. My old computer had another Xfi card in it and the sound is totally different in quality with same settings (crystilzer etc). So anyone know of another soundcard that you have experience of? in vista 64?
For some strange reason, I can no longer disable my soundcard in device manager without having to restart the computer. It will disable if I end the audiodg.exe process, but since restarting audiodg.exe and re-enabling the soundcard dosen't return my sound, I have to restart anyway.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been having this problem, which is that sometimes, my sound is working, and sometimes it is not. It usually starts working after my PC has been off for a long period of time (for example, when I wake up). Oh, and if this helps, my soundcard is a Realtek HD card.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI bought a laptop last year that came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit...I am not at all computer savvy, but bought some recording software called Audiogram that is supposed to be the equivalent of Garage Band that comes on a Mac. However, I have never been able to make the recording program work! It acknowledges there could be some problems with Vista, but ultimately it should work. The latest message I get when I open the recording software is "The currently installed soundcard driver does not support Direct Sound Input. Recording audio is not possible." What do I do? I can't return the recording oftware because I registered it, plus it's been months that I've been reading/downloading updates thinking I could get it to work. I've been told by several people that vista has soundcard problems.
View 7 Replies View RelatedRunning a Toshiba Satellite (nice speakers) under Vista Home Premium SP2. There is a series of audio interviews on the web that I want to record on my HD. Currently, I'm having acceptable results simply playing through the speakers and picking it up through the microphone using Sound Recorder. It's not exactly high fidelity, but I'm dealing with speech, not music. The only problem is that it's vulnerable to any noise in the area, and four to six grandkids can produce that effortlessly.
I asked Geek Squad if I could just jumper the earphones output to the mic input, thereby blocking out external noise. She said it wouldn't work because ... yadda yadda .. powered mic ... yadda yadda ... a lot of extra noise. She confused me further with talk about software that will do this. I tried a free trial of one, but it looked as though it was still depending about the output from speakers and said nothing about gagging grandkids. Is there a way to play audio from a website and record it on my HD without depending on immediate airspace?
I have a dell lalptop with windows vista basic. I have used the sound recorder before but the quality is not that great (using the inbuilt mic). So today I brought a microphone headset (cheap one). But I still find a little bit of background noise using the sound recorder. I need this because I do poetry and I am doing some recorded peotry for use as backing for a dvd. Im just looking for the cheapest resonable option. Has anyone got any ideas? I have done a couple of peoms to dvd but the sound lets it down. This is just a project at the moment so I dont wont to spend louds of money on equipment.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIn XP I could record audio with sound recorder from anything I could hear. For example, if I was playing a WAV file, or listening to a song on the internet, I could record it. Now in Vista it only allows me to record from my microphone. I checked disabled devices and still can not get anything but the microphone to show up. Is there anyway around this besides sticking an audio cable from the headphone jack into my mic input? So far Vista has me aggravated with things I have lost, you would think a newer operating system would allow you more flexibility, not take it from you.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an HP dv6500z laptop, running 32-bit Vista Home Premium. It has a single microphone input jack , but no line-in jack. The microphone jack has both, mono & stereo capability. I know that line-in and microhone jacks are not the same, but do not know if Wirdows Audio recorder software (or similar) accounts for this. Can I use the microphone input jack to record stereo signals output from another
device (e.g., a Reel-to-reel tape recoder, cassette palyer, turntable, ...). If so, does Windows provide any documentation regarding the parameters that need to be set. What about recording levels ? Is setting these mainly trial & error, or is there some basic Rule-of-Thumb to go by ? Does Windows have a similar Video Recorder application and doumentation ?
I need to know if anyone is aware of any software that can record everything that is being done on a PC I own and store this on a file in that computer or on a server in my own company where we can access it from another computer and view the recording without interfering with the usage of the recorded machine. Is there such a thing?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a Dell desktop with 64-bit Vista Premium. Audacity 1.2.6 would not record: I got a message telling me to "check the input device settings and the project sample rate." I checked in Audacity>Edit>Preferences, & there were no Recording Device options listed at all.
After Googling all possible avenues for advice, I found an extremely simple solution… that actually works!
* Select Personalization from the Control Panel.
* Select Sounds
* Select the Recording tab.
* In my case, there were 3 options shown: Front Mic, Microphone, & Line In, all grayed out & showing as not plugged in.
* Right click on any one of them choose "show disabled devices."
* This brought up the Stereo Mix option.
* Select Stereo Mix, Choose Properties, and click Enable.
* Voila! Now it worked the same way as Wave Out Mix in Windows XP, & I could record streaming audio with no problems!
I have attempted to use the "Stereo Mix" or "What You Hear" recording feature found in previous versions of Windows with the new Vista Home Premium, but it doesn't appear under "Recording" sound devices (even when hidden and disabled are chosen to appear). Has this been removed in Vista?
