ON crashing upon sound record

B

BorisS

Any known problems with sound recording crashing the ON app? I tried it and
it basically took me out completely.

Haven't seen it here, Boris. Have you tried going to Help/Detect and
Repair.... to see if that will make a difference?

Tried the ON just now. Still crashes. Will start recording, even pause
during it, but then once stop is pushed, it crashes. When it comes back, it
actually shows a file there, but then if attempting to play, it crashes again.

and this, despite my intense use of programs and seeming competency with
systems, is where I will admit to being an idiot...can you tell me basically
how I do this?

Don't know if it's significant, but I can use my mic fine within Word and
Outlook for speech recognition. So it definitely works there.

As for the ON issue, also don't know if it's significant, but I notice the
files are WMA (not surprising). I have had some issues with both my
realplayer and media player not being able to play video files. haven't
tried any other wma files (since I don't have any), but I know both can now
play mp3 fine. So with that scenario painted, any further advice (including
testing the hardware drivers, as you suggested) is appreciated.

one more note, I ran the detect and repair for ON, and it came back saying
all was cool. still will not take on the recording.

Haven't tried the video yet, and am hoping that's not also affected.

If it is working properly elsewhere, then I would say the driver for your
sound device isn't the issue. You have trained the microphone, etc.,
correct?

yeah. I've done half the trainings, I've tested it and it recognizes and
types for me, etc. In other words, the sound is there and it's functioning.
But, again, in ON, it records, then crashes as I hit stop, and then crashes
again when I try to play that file. It's not JUST within O.N., as when I
take that file that it creates and try play it in media player or realplayer
(both of which can otherwise play the files on my hard drive) both of those
freeze and crash as well. So could it actually be that ON is creating some
sort of corrupt file and it's happening right at the moment that it is
supposed to wrap up (within ON) and finish the process?

No idea how to figure this one out in terms of testing different things, bc
like I said, all else seems to work on its own.

You're using the built-in Tools/Audio and Video Recording.../Record Audio
Only? What devices do you have selected in the Settings section? Are they
the same as you're using in other programs? Have you used the Tuning
Wizard?

can confirm that I am using the default in the settings, but also have
several others installed (NVidia Nforce, which is my sound card; Avermedia,
which is the tv tuner card I just installed, but haven't gotten to work yet;
and a modem line-in record one, which I assume corresponds to the mic in that
I have on my modem for speaking). I am not quite sure which device is being
used by word and outlook successfully, so don't know how to tell you. I do
know that in my control panel sounds settings, the default voice device for
listen and record is the nvidia I mentioned. I would imagine that means that
they are all using it, but I don't know if word or outlook would have had
some other thing to use (I cannot imagine, since there is no other device
that corresponds to the jack into which I am plugged in).

Did the tuning wizard. All was picked up. I don't think it's a situation
where the computer's not hearing me. I think for some reason or other, ON is
just not capable of processing and converting the file. I don't know if
there's some driver that does this, and I don't have the right version (don't
forget, I don't think Word and Outlook actually make a file. They just
convert quickly and enter as text...maybe there's something fundamentally
different about that and so their functioning doesn't prove anything in terms
of ON). I don't know, but it sounds like from your questions and my answers,
the beat goes on, and the beat goes on...drum beats playing....
