Big Problem with Windows Vista & Audio

Bondy · November 22nd, 2006, 10:03 PM

Hey everyone, I got a problem with my Sound Blaster Live! Its all installed, works fine I can hear things fine but.... When I go to the Windows Vista Audio Mixer I have hardly any control over the device. The line in dont work for some reason it says its unavailable. I also dont have that feature that I did with windows XP called "What you hear" or "Stereo Mix" Where I can make the recording device be what ever sounds the PC makes and I really need this.

Here is what it looks like

Can any here help me? Are there any settings I can change or software I can download which will allow me to make the "Line In" available and the "What you hear" to appear on the mixer? I also had this same problem with a different sound card so its not the sound card to blame.

Cheers

Just checked the soundblaster.com site and there are no specific drivers available for Vista 32 or 64 bit for Live yet ....

What driver set are you using Bro ?

Hey Im using

Description: Modded Driver for SB Live! & Audigy I
Operation System: Windows XP/2000/2003/VistaI also had the same problem with my realtek ac97 though I used XP drivers for that.
Will I have to wait for official vista drivers to come out in order to use these features?

64 bit drivers are hell buggy......the only way to get them working is the disable digital driver signature from the startup F8 menu......otherwise the os stops the driver from loading

I'm using Audigy 2, and have the same problem. When I set the line in to default, got it work, but lin-in with the beta driver is single channel only (right channel), not stereo. i'm also experience the problem with other port auxiliary, tad-in, etc.

you probably wont see these features on Vista..... it'd be a Copyright liability for Songs....
