Hi there, I have both the Avermedia DVD EZmaker 7 as well as the Hauppage Live 2 USB capture devices for VHS capturing using AmarecTV. All things held the same, the audio stream from the Hauppage has a perceptible high pitch whine whereas the EZmaker7 does not. I've tried tinkering around with the audio settings for the Hauppage and dont seem to be able to get rid of it. This even occurs with the RCA cables removed from the capture stick.

I'm mainly asking because I was under the impression that the Hauppage would have been a better made unit than Avermedia
