No audio in any third party capturing software with ATI's

[Brad31365]

I just built this pc a few weeks ago, now I have no audio with any third party software such as ulead and virtualdub but works fine with ATI's MMC 7.1. The video card is a ATI All In Wonder 128. The pc I used before I built this one worked fine with all third party software. I'm using the same sound card not one just like the other one but the same one (sound blaster auiogy). So I would think it has nothing to do with the sound card. I read some post on creative's site they recominted installing the drives only then update the drives with a patch "no luck". I'm out of ideas any help would be greatly appreceated.

then your recording input configuration is wrong. either change it in software, or run the input directly to the card's line-in and record from that.

Just d/l and installed WinDVR and worked fine but in setup it let me select mic in as audio input. So is there there some kind of setting in virtualdub to let me select audio input.

I'm having the very same problem with my new computer running an ATI TV Wonder PCI and MMC 7.6. I can capture audio and video fine using their software, but VirtualDub won't. Strangely, I can HEAR the audio when I capture with VirtualDub, but the audio in the resulting AVI is silent. I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere in VirtualDub (I can't find it, though) that tells it where to get the audio (line in, in my case)?

Hopefully, someone here knows VirtualDub well enough to answer...

you have to use the _windows_ volume levels. either from control panel/sound/advanced or double click the yellow speaker in the tray. do properties/options and select 'recording'. check the one you want to record from.

also note that ATI has its own copy of the windows volume levels, so if you change them for windows or virtualdub that's fine, but for ATI you have to do it while MMC is ON. these levels/inputs will not carry back to windows when you close MMC

DONT run a line source into your MIC input, only use a mic. MIC input is a mono input and a bias voltage, not a stereo input. you can do damage to your equipment or more likely the sound card, and it will sound awful.
