SP/DIF recording on Audigy Platinum 2 ?
Hi there ...
I am having a bit a bit of a problem recording digital audio with my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum 2. I connect the digital co-ax output from either a CD player or DVD player to the input at on the front panel, and I can hear the audio through the headphone monitor - so the signal is getting to the soundcard OK. But if I try to record it, I get either a low frequency "motor boat" sound, or nothing at all. Also ... when recording from a digital input like this, what am I supposed to do select as a sampling frequency ? - Surely the bit rate and sample sizes are dependent on the incoming signal ? Has anybody managed to have any success with this - or have I just got a duff card ? Regards Frederick |

Hi Frederick
I dont have a Soundblaster Card, but I think I read somewhere a while ago, that you need to select 'Record what you hear' in the control Panel, or something like that. Certainly SB cards are not great. Phil |

... Hi Frederick I dont have a Soundblaster Card, but I think I read somewhere a while ago, that you need to select 'Record what you hear' in the control Panel, or something like that. Certainly SB cards are not great. I've recorded from a Sky+ to an SB Audigy via an optical SPDIF connection and it worked fine. There are two "Windows Mixer" control panels. One is the "Playback" panel which includes "sliders" for each of the enabled sound sources with a tickbox mute option on each, the other is the "record" panel which includes sliders for each of the enabled sources and a tick-box to select the source. One of those sliders is called "What-U-Hear" or somesuch phrase, but if recording from SPDIF it's better to select the SPDIF input direct. David. |

Certainly SB cards are not great. You can select "What You Hear" if that's what you want to record. You can select other things as well. See what choices you have. (Note that this is in the soundcard's control utility, not in Cubase). There's another possibility - that the card shows in Cubase as two separate input devices, Soundblaster Analogue and Soundblaster SPDIF. You'd have to choose the right one when defining an input in Cubase. You know how to do that? One of those approaches will work, assuming your card isn't broken. And it doesn't sound as if it is - the digital signal is getting in and being turned into analogue for the monitor output, it's just Cubase that can't "hear" it. I agree, Soundblasters aren't great. But yours will do this simple job OK. The trouble is, people who know enough to troubleshoot your problem aren't likely to be Soundblaster owners :-) |

Has anybody managed to have any success with this - or have I just got a duff card ? Nobody much uses this method to transcribe a CD to a PC any more. They use proper digital transfer software like CDEX or EAC - both of which are free downloads. The only reason I can think of to go the way you're going is if the CD has some kind of copy protection on it. |
