Fraps does not record audio

I am not sure what's going on but after a few reinstalls of fraps I am not able to fix the problem. For whatever reason Fraps will no longer record a video clip with audio. I recall seeing "What U hear" in the Volume Control Options" but it doesn't show up any more. Can anyone confirm where "what u hear" is located if Fraps is working properly for you? Also, how does one solve this problem?

Note:
The Sound Device from Frap's Movie tab reads: Vista Direct Stream. Is this what it's suppose to read for windows 7?

Update

Ok, so far it's BF2 v1.50 that is doing this. I tried other games and no problems with audio/video reproduction.

What kind of sound card do you have? You may need to change your default recording device while recording with fraps.

X-Fi card. I've checked those settings and they are where they are suppose to be. Unless there is some other specific feature. I think that aspect is ok.

I do have "What U Hear" but it's currently unavailable. However, when I go to properties and check it reads Device usage: Use this Device (enabled).

Hmm, I wonder if "what u hear" is part of some DRM feature? If so where is the actual file? I like to have a word with it...

Ok, It appears that "what u hear" is DRM controlled in one form or another. There is a program that does get it working but I am not sure if discussing it further is permitted on this forum. Is there a mod that can answer this?

any advise?
