Problem with FRAPS

Recommended Posts

I have FRAPS and it works just perfectly except one thing. There is no audio!!! sad.gif

 

For exapmle: I film couple clips in GTA: SA. Then when I review them they have no audio, no sound just video. There is sound in the game while I'm playing: radio, car sounds, people sounds andetc. but when I review my video that I recorded with FRAPS there is no audio. I have checked to record sound in FRAPS options but it doesn't help...

 

Maybe someone know why this happens???

Ok, I use fraps aswell. For recording sound you have two options, one being microphone input and the other being 'what you hear'.

 

What you need to do is open up fraps, go movies, make sure record sound is ticked.

 

Then select 'detect best sound input' and down the bottom sound input should be 'what U Hear'.

 

You will then need to go into sound setting to turn this up as it is probably down by default.

 

So head into control panel -> sounds and audio devices -> click on the 'audio' tab ->Under 'sound playback' will be default device. If you are using a sound card select the sound card, if not select the only option that will be there then-> volume -> options -> properties -> recording.

 

Tick 'What U Hear' and click ok. It will the be infront of you in the control panel. Tick it down the bottom and turn the sound all the way up.

 

Let me know if this works biggrin.gif

I tried everything what you said but it didn't work. The thing is that I don't see "Waht U Hear" anywhere! I don't know where is it! Here is a pic howit looks:

Select Adjust volume for playback in the Properties window that you screenshotted and try again.

 

Fraps should change from "Microphone" input to something like "Stereo Mix"

I don't know if I have audio card or it uses onboard. And I tried to set Playback but it still says Microphone... sad.gif

Not only is your card onboard, but it's about the WORST on board card you could possibly have. Invest a few dollars in a Sound Blaster LIVE SE (I think they're about $20). You could TRY to check for updated drivers, but it's been my experience that these chips provide basic I/O only. In other words, your chip doesn't have the capability to record right from Windoze.

 

It's funny, because Sigma Tel tends to get the best reviews in terms of sound quality on portable mp3 players; it's their drivers for onboard PC's that tend to stink...

My computer is the worst computer in the world! I bought it just last summer and I didn't know that it stinks so badly. It has a bad video card, a bad sound card. Almost evertyhing is onboard. Maybe because my Windows are "Windows: Media Center Edition". Almost everything in my Windows are Intel (sound, video cards...). sad.gif

What is that "Sound Blaster LIVE SE"? Is that a sound card or something? Do you thing it's a good idea for me to buy a new and better sound and video card? I can buy new sound or video card but I don't want to spend money if I don't need to do that becaus it's a lot of money. What do you guys suggest for me to do? What would you do if you were in my place guys? smile.gif

Start FRAPS, click on the "movies" tab, then click in the circle next to "use Windows input, then click on "Detect best sound input". You should see the sound input bubble change from "microphone" to "stereo mix".

 

Whenever "stereo mix" is selected, FRAPS will record the audio in the game.

Does not work for me.

 

Fraps clearly uses "Stereo Mix" as input, and the volumes are all way up and none are muted.

 

Still no sound is recorded with fraps.

Do you have onboard audio? Is it Intel? AC'97? by any chance? Check your motherboard and sound devices, and look for the correct drivers on the internet. I had the same problem and the drivers that came with my computer wouldn't work.

Hi,

 

I use windows XP SP2.

 

I have onboard sound and FRAPS was not recording it.

 

I downloaded new drivers[keep reading more to it than this] from the realtek site and the ac97 program and the other thing which was only 100kb or something, didn't use it.

 

I installed the new drivers and the new Ac97 or whatever they are.

 

Didn't work, but what did work was I plugged my microphone into the rear yellow panel. Now, it[realtek control panel] sesned this, and then asked me which jack I just plugged into.

 

I did *NOT* select the microphone jack, I selected the line out[or the line in I can't remember] jack. It said that this device is not supported or something, and now I will show you a screenshot of what the realtek control panel "audio i/o" looks like[it now has red/white arrows on it I don't think it had those before].

 

 

 

It now records sound with FRAPS, audacity and other programs I'm sure.

 

I didn't have this problem with my older PC which had onboad sound from nvidia[but no realtek programs so something different].

 

I got this idea from someone who said that they worked around this problem by pluging into their line out, then plugin [ie a male to male cord] into their microphone so it would record what was being played.

 

www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/realtek-hd-has-no-stereo-mix-t274548.html

 

I think that plugging in a mic gets the hardware to "turn on the recording" or something but use at your own risk but I will be using it! Or it's something that should have been there the whole time it's just part of the design to save power or annoy us or whatever!

I have EXACTLY the same problem as the original post, and my screen looks exactly like that screenshot. I don't have the option of "What you hear." Is this basically because I have no sound card? Actually I have a VERY faint sound if I play the video with my speakers set to max sound and turned on full, but it is pretty much non-existant. breadfish_by_Moto.gif

here it is.

 

go on that sound on desktop right down in windows xp.

you will get some sh*t of sound. go on properties and select INPUT then tick stereo mix and klick OK. then you get that sh*t again and make sure evrything is open and sound is there.

 

worked for me
