Hey guys, just built my desktop, the asus board i got has a sound board built in. It's VIA HD Audio. Stero mix is enabled, and nothing is muted, and i can only get the mic to record, i cannot get any other sounds to be recorded, such as streaming music from youtube.

I also have an audigy 4 pro. i tried hooking that up, and creative has the "what you hear" option, but still no go, i dont know why, i think its vista from what i have been reading.

also if anyone knows how to make microphone playback work that would be great (like turning my playback device into a mic speaker, so when i say something, i can hear it through my speakers)
kind of like a loudspeaker

also, my situation is a little unique, b/c my ati card is outputting the sound via hdmi, i am not using speakers or anything with the actual sound card or the motherboard.

arite i figured out a solution. what i had to do was disable my onboard sound card, set the audigy as the default playback device (even though nothing is hooked up), and "what u hear" works. the only problem is i had to use an external mixer to hook up the mic and speakers so i can hear what i am recording. that solved that problem, but it is hooked up to a custom center speaker i had installed.

i have a 5.1 system that the hdmi is hooked up to. whenever the hdmi is set as the default audio playback device, it recording doesnt work, but the mic works through the mixer through the center channel. so i have to switch it every time...

pretty annoying, if anyone has an idea how to record the 5.1 audio channel with mic, that would be great. keeper the mixer is no big deal its hooked up to my AVR

OK don't know if this is your issue I had this problem in vista with Guitar pro 5. It had to do with Vista defaults. I could not save as a wave.

I think this is supposed to make it harder for the casual music piratea but very frustrating for those of us who want to create and save. Mine was on a notebook so if off sorry.

In Control Panel pick Sounds. A panel comes up showing tabs "playback", "record" and "sounds". Click "record" tab. Is it showing a stereo mix device? Anyway in an open area of the panel right click. Check the "show disabled devices" anything new show up? If so enable it. There you go. Also go to playback also and do the same if you like see what shows up and enable if you like.

nah i already did that, what happens is that my hdmi device (ati video card) is processing the sound. So the creative's what u hear option (essentially stereo mix) only reads audio coming from sounds processed by the audigy. My solution requires a mixer and a seperate speaker (which i had both already so not an issue), but im working on getting
the hdmi video signal to pair with the optical cable coming from my creative, this solves all my issues.... im not even sure if this can be done on my amp, its a Denon if anyone knows...
