AIW radeon, virtualdub no audio problem

[fadeawayforever]

Hi, well my software/hardware is.. Windows XP, Virtualdub, TMPGenc / AIW radeon, onboard Cmedia audio.

For those who have aiw radeon's or have ati cards in general, know that new drivers have since come out, but i have only updated just yesterday..

By the way i only capture using virtualdub and then encoding with tmpgenc.. i feel it is way better in quality compared to MMC 7.6/7.7 and this is for VCDs... Ok so the problem lies in no audio when capturing with virtualdub, i can HEAR the audio while capturing but once i right click to halt capturing and so forth, i play my .avi file in windows media player, no sound at all except for line noise... But i've tried capturing in MMC 7.7 and i do get sound while playing in the same player, WMP.

I'm thinking its a problem with the driver updates? because before this i was able to capture with virtualdub with sound. But a problem i have always had is when i captured a file, and i opened it in virtualdub and did editing to the file, it wouldn't save the audio.. And in audio compression too for mp3 compression i am able to only go as high as 56khz or something not anywhere close to 128, but that doesnt really matter too me since i just encode with TMPGenc in the end, but i just thought it was weird...

And yea i do have Audio capture, and Lock audio stream with video stream checked in the capture settings for virtualdub...

By the way MMC 7.7 is MUCH easier to use than my method of virtualdub capturing then encoding to TMPGenc, even if my audio problem gets solved, i still would rather do it the MMC way but the quality is not as great! There is too much video noise and no noise reduction filter, and it looks like there is more frameloss when capturing in MMC.. I mean i am a novice at this but if anyone can teach me some ways to tweak MMC for better vcd quality i would much appreciate it and defiantely switch methods... thanks for reading this long long longggggg post

Go into windows sound recorder settings (the little loudspeaker icon, or use programs/accessories/multimedia/sound recorder) and open the recording options, checkmark the box for "line in".

Worked for me. Drove me crazy 'til I figured it out.

no i doubt thats it... i am able get sound threw MMC but not virtualdub and when you capture with virtualdub it 'auto-selects' line-in for audio
