Who's using a WINTV card?

[fmctm1sw]

Are you using the provided cable that goes from the wintv card to the line-in on your sound card? Or are you just plugging your audio source into your sound card and bypassing the card altogether?

Right now I am using the provided patch cable for my audio. I don't as of now, know a way to bypass this and go directly to the soundcard, but if anyone knows a way, do tell. Are there any benefits??

Well, you just unplug that little cord from the card and run your audio cable right into the sound card. I wondering if anyone has seen sync issues either way....

I go from my DVD/VCR players directly to my amp/receiver, but I don't do any capturing. I just watch.

I run the video from RCA jack on the back of the VCR to line in on the capture card, and audio from RCA jacks on the back of the VCR to line in on the sound card. No sync issues yet.

I think the A/V sync issue is related to the quality of the signal
and the speed of your computer. If you have strong and clean signal
and your computer/memory/disk is fast enough, you should not get A/V
sync problem. It does not matter how the audio signal get to the
sound card.

I currently use WinTV Go card. I use the provided cable connecting
the card to the sound card on the motherboard. I have no A/V sync
problem. But I know that if the signal is not good, it is very
difficult to keep A/V sync. Unless you go through DV solution, like
Canopus ADVC100 or DV videocorder pass-through.

No problems here either but one thing I have noticed is that certain capture programs will only work if you bypass the WinTV audio in. DScaler is one program that doesn't have any sound unless I bypass the capture cards audio in and go direct to the soundcard (SB Live! Value). I normally send audio through the WinTV though, cos I use AVI_IO or nanoDVR or WinVCR for capturing.

Anyone here who has a WinTV PVR 350 and cares to share their opinions of it and how they send audio to it etc?
