I just tried to use the Creative Smart Recorder app included in the driver package for my Audigy 4. It starts up but just doesn't do anything ?!?
I checked out Creative's support forum and found several postings of the same problem. Creative doesn't offer an solution beyond the dumb and obvious like "make sure your cable is attached to the line in input".
I also updated to the latest driver...no change. It's funny because I've used the bundled Creative recorder for off and on over years and several generations of Sound Blaster. The sound card works perfectly, my audio inputs work etc etc, but the stupid app is broken. Luckily my Nero 7 has a record function and I can use that for now (and it works perfectly).

My question is:
Is anyone else out there having the same problem?
 
Yes, I'm having the same problems with the Creative Smart Recorder on my X-fi. The thing will start up, and look like it's working, but you can't record anything. It just sits there at 00:00 time.

Very annoying. I said just screw it, and am now using Audacity, which is far better for recording stuff.
 
Audacity ...YES!!!!!
Thanks for pointing me to that. Creative can keep their crappy software.
 
You are very welcome. Creative's software is a joke, and it's a real shame that free open source software like Audacity ruins their recording software in every way.
