Soundblaster...

to record with an enviromental sound, you need to use a programme called AutoEA. It can be found in your start menue, and more than likely in AudioHQ tab. When you start this programme, a box will pop up, and maybe minimize. It creates an ICON on your task bar (in the bottom right cluster). If it happens to minimize, double click that icon, and it will pop right up onto the screen.

Once you have the programme, you will notice
It has two tabs; one that says "Configure Link", and one that says "Options". in the configure tab, there is a selection section that says "Applications", then there is "...", and then a big red X. The applications are the programmes you want AutoEA to monitor (in your case, the programme you are recording your audio with).

To get your programme you are recording to appear in that box, click the "..." button directly to the right of it, and find the .EXE file of your programme. say that I record with wave studio, I would look through my files and find CTWAVE32.EXE (make sure its the EXE (executable) file).

After you've found that, and it is selected int eh drop down box (Application box), you can choose the "Linked Supter Enviroment" towards the bottom. once that is selected, you should be set.

when you are recording, be sure to keep the AUTO EA programme on TOP of what you are doing.
