Audacity will not record what-u-hear SB X-Fi
Hi All;
I know that this is partially addressed in other threads, but I've not found a solution to my specific problem.
I have a Dell T3400 with Creative SB X-Fi Model SB0770.

Everything works fine in XP on the same dual-boot box. It is a new Vista-ready system and I was able to use the supplied Creative CD to install the Creative software. after installing from the CD Win7 offered to go to the 'net and update the Creative drivers, and I let it. Sound works great, all the Creative applications appear to work OK, except for recording from what-u-hear. I can see the required devices in both Windows Sound Control panel and in Audacity ® 1.3.9 (Unicode). The device is enabled, and everything looks OK. No newer drivers for the SB0770 are listed on the soundblaster site, and Win7 thinks the drivers are the newest available. Here are some screenshots:
The Creative Recorder also sees no input (Following taken while plenty of sound coming out of speakers):
Audacity reports this:
Device ID: 1
Device name: MME: "What U Hear" (Creative SB X-Fi
Input channels: 2
Device ID: 6
Device name: Windows DirectSound: "What U Hear" (Creative SB X-Fi)
Input channels: 2
This is really driving me nuts! I'm not going to resort to looping the analog out back in.
Help! Save Me! Please...
