Weird playback sound with mic recording
Sat, 03/29/2008 - 14:03 — polarized
I recently bought a neo empriva laptop with a realtek audio soundcard and a pc mic...my laptop was able to detect my mic input and after recording some guitar riffs...the playback sounded real bad...the first few seconds of the recording was ok then the volume will fade after a few seconds and then the recording sounds "wanky or robotic". i dont know what the problem is..i tried different pc mics and the problem still persists...i turned off all enhancements and enabled the steromix device etc but wont seem to work.... :( pls help!

The Problem Resurfaces
I had this problem back when I made my first Vista upgrade on my PC. Before I solved it by disabling the audio enhancements under Speaker & Mic. config., but now that doesn't seem to work. And for some reason this problem has mysteriously resurfaced for me again. I also have a Realtek brand soundcard (integrated).
When I play back recordings, just as Polarized said, the first few seconds usually sound normal (in some instances, this wasn't the case), and after a short time has passed, the recording starts making popping/crackling noises & skips over parts of the recording, leaving gaps in the sound, and also goes down about two levels in pitch (this is my biggest beef with this bug), then makes its way back to normal pitch, then the process starts all over.
So far I haven't been able to fix this issue this time around, I'm hoping someone knows at least something about this and I'm wondering how many other people have had this issue and what was done to solve it.
So please, if anyone knows anything about this and knows how it can be permanently fixed, please respond!
I'm also having this problem
I'm also having this problem - but before I used to be able to record just fine - now it's completely screwed up just like previous users have responded.
I have no idea how to make it better.
same
yeah, I used to record fine (even though the quality was bad) but now I press record, and once I start playing the first five seconds are good but then it fades out and goes into this spacy warble effect and it reaally bugs me. The only way i've solved it is by playing for notes for a few seconds, palm muting and then playing again (which is completely annoying and pointless) there's nothing wrong with my amp my cables or my mic so it must be the computer..
Anyone know what to do?
Solution
I found that the effect stopped when i turned off Acoustic Echo Cancellation. I think it believed that what we were trying to record is from an echo! This can be found in the Realtek HD Audio Manager under microphone.
solution
hey guys, iv worked onto what the dude above me said, and what youv got to do is right click the lil speaker icon on the bottom right of the screen, go to recording devices, right click the microphone thing and go to properties. from there, u go to the "Enhancements" tab, and get rid of BOTH acoustic echo cancellation AND noise cancellation.
its the noise cancellor thats the main problem, however the acoustic echo does a bit also
damned realtek
solution is still a problem
The trouble is, when you turn off these enhancements, the sound decay goes away but the recorded sound is noisy/hissy, even with good recording equipment.
Solution Problem solved
im using windows 7 with the latest Realtek HD drivers (integrated sound card) . .... Right click on the red Speaker icon thing then go to "Audio Devices" then go to the recording tab . select the mic and go properties . then go to the enhancement tab and click the box to disable all enhancements then click ok :] ..... you might want 2 turn down the input volume on what ever you are using 2 record as alot more sound will be picked up now . :]
Hope this helps
