QS 2.0 trigger cues based on audio input

[White-Light]

BTW its more likely your mic is configured for speech than for music which is why its not picking up the bass.

This is a screen shot of Windows Sound Recording Inputs from Windows 7:



Navigate to this via Start > Control Panel > Sounds

The Recording Tab is the 2nd one.

Now you see on mine I have 5 inputs. The bottom one "What you hear" is the one thats triggered by the Media Player.

You can tell this in 2 ways:

a) Its the Active one (green tick left hand side + fact audio is being heard from the speakers - green tick + no audio + flat bar graph = possible low volume or wrong input active on the pc for the audio player, check volume control for this input, if 100% then try enabling others until you get sound from your media player)

b) It has the bar sound graph (right hand side - its blank because there was no media playing when I took this shot)

This is the input thats active when the media player is in use, you can see the Bar Graph Active here (I've also shown WMP playing behind it):



So this is the input you'd want to select in QuickShow.

Now your options may be different.

So what you need to do is start your music player playing, then go to the sound source window as I described above and check which "Recording" tab input is active. Then use that as the basis for QS.

And if you dont have "what you hear" (more than likely as a laptop probably wont have a creative sound card), you can enable the stereo mix and use that.

Open the recording properties and right click in it.

Choose "show disabled items"
Enable the "stereo mix" item

Restart quickshow and select the stereo mix as your input.

Play some music and back in the recording properties, highlight the stereo mix, click properties and adjust the gain to a level where QS triggers reliably.
