weak audio while capturing

[ikai]

ah ok when i capture in virtual dub using the picvideo codec, the audio is VERY weak.. and hollow. Any ideas why this is happening?
It sounds perfect coming though my speakers while im capturing, but when i play it back it sounds awful. or can i correct this with tmpgenc?
using a radeon7500 all in wonder+ line in to my onboard sound. Audio is fine in ati mmc tv app but horrible in vdub.
Any help appreciated, thx.

hrm sorry the topic is a bit confusing.
the audio is fine while im capping in vdub, but weak and hollow when i play it back...

Try adjusting the capture audio volume in VDUB...what your hear when capturing is the input, not the result.

use a higher quality encoder for audio, higher bitrate, higer sampking rate etc.

greetz..

Double click your volume control to get the large panel, then go options, properties, select recording, hit ok, and now you have the recording options and controls in front of you. Ajust away.
Common oversight.

yes i keep volume control open while capturing. im wondering what do you mean by different encoder? I set it to cd quality in vdub. is that what u mean?

[ikai]

oh i was thinking, perhpas this is being caused by my onboard audio? would a real pci soundcard solve this? or does it not sound like that type of problem.
thx for replies btw.

I think that by "Double click your volume control" they meant to double-click that little speaker icon in your windows systray.

simply check your audio recording properties ( volume control )
put "line in" to 0 just before capturing.

ahhh yeah i got the volume control window open

line in is not muted, and is set to 1/2 volume. r u saying i should set it to 0 volume? that doesnt make any sense...
i tried setting it to max volume and its the same thing. hollow/weak sound. i really dont know what to do now this is driving me insane. not a far drive...

anymore help appreciated plzzz

open volume control , OK
then -> options -> properties -> check RECORD

the mixer is now RECORDING CONTROL
check your LINE IN fader and test


changing LINE IN fader in VOLUME CONTROL will not change anything.


good luck

ahhhh yes
that is some very helpful advice.
i didn't know there were volume control settings for both recoing and playback. ok so now i have the recording control open im going to try and test it again.
thanks for the help ill reply my results.
