Unable to record "What U Hear" in Audition 3.0.1 on Windows 7 x64...

I am trying to record sound that is playing on my system using Audition 3.0.1 on Windows 7 x64.  I have Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card with latest driver 2.18.0011.  In Audition, I have set audio hardware setup to "Audition 3.0 Windows Sound" and default input to "What U Hear"--which is proper setup to record sound playing on my system.  But when I click the record button, I get an error message titled "Adobe Default Windows Sound Driver" error code FF9-5-0044 [8878000a] "device could not be opened".  And then Audition only records silence.  I've tried using the Sound Recorder program that comes with Windows 7 x64 and that records fine.  But Audition won't record any sound.  Any ideas?  Can this be fixed?

When you have your audio mixer open in Win 7 to see the inputs, right click and chose "show disabled devices".  "Stereo Mix" should show up.

Stereo Mix should function the same as 'What you hear'.

Not all computers have the "Stereo Mix" option.  That is the big problem I had when I first started this thread.  My Toshiba lap top does not have a "Stereo Mix" option - hidden or unhidden!  I don't think there is anything you can do about it other than possibly get another sound card that has that option -- which is not possible with a laptop computer.

i did more testing and it turns out that this problem can be prevented by either of 2 ways...

1) only selecting 1 input port in the "audition 3 > audio hardware setup > control panel". .

OR...

2) if you need to have more than 1 selected, then you will have to uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in what u hear properties.
