Have EMU0404 PCI and a mic

[ivan2]

Hi guys, I tried to use a mic that's connected to the 1/4 left input in my EMU0404 PCI. the mic shows that it's working in patchmix, the aux volumn is adjusted, and the signal been sent to wave in. I see that it's picking up sound in wavelab and I am able to record there. But when I open control panel and go to sound, and recording. I have 2 sources in this tab, one is my webcam's mic and another is EMU wave. My webcam is working and I see the green bar goes up and down as it pick up from the noise i make, but it's silent on the EMU's side. How can I make EMU send sound to this thing so I can use it in TF2 and L2D?

If you are sending to Wave L/R Host in Patchmix and you pick the Emu wave in software you should get sound.

I asked the same question back when I had 1212M. The only responses I got was to get a cheap USB mic and that worked pretty well for me

i am moving towards that, might get a dynamic mic to USB adapter thingy.

Can you post a screenshot of your patchmix panel?

 

[ivan2]

sure will do when im home.

PurdueRy, thanks for looking into it. I took some screenshot:

It shows that as you mentioned, I had it send to Wave L/R. I also tried to send it at the Mono 3 strip which I had my mic connected to but there's still no sound. I was talking at the mic at the time to show there's some activity.

Shows where this send is going to at line in L where i plugged my mic, not sure if it matters at all in here.

I am expecting there's some activity in Wave here so that the steam can pick up. But nothing came in.

You definitely shouldn't send to ASIO. You said that you could record in a different program? If that's the case then for some reason your other program isn't properly handling the E-mu audio.

One possibility is sampling rates. If they don't match some programs won't recognize the audio. Try changing the Patchmix sampling rate to 48KHz. See if your program will then recognize the audio input.

Any news Ivan on the suggestion I gave?

Hi PurdueRy, sorry for the delay. I tried setting it to 48khz last night, however it didn't fix the problem and created a new one. Now youtube has no sound... I switched it back to 44k to make youtube work again...

want to add another note, within the configuration in the windows sound (3rd picture i posted above), it is possible for me to set the sampling rate as well. I made sure it is set to 44k (and it was), still, no signal goes there...
