LG V281 DVD/VCR Combo USB Capture Card strange problem

[dellsam34]

I'm going with what works so far. Virtualdub and CaptureFlux still freeze/crash.

But you are not following the suggestions, You are not reporting what you have done and what you haven't among those suggestions, We don't see what you are doing, It's like a blind guiding another blind crossing the street. Anyway, Good luck.

Sorry man. I've been testing and trying all day with various things. I definitely read the suggestions (and thanks for that), however the programs just bog down as soon as I choose the capture device, and then crashes. Not much chance of changing other settings. I basically just gave up with the above mentioned programs.

Have been recording with ffmpeg the last hour or two. Like it quite a bit.

Well, it can monitor audio, but in my experience, it often can cause problems with some capture devices/drivers, resulting in high CPU usage, desync, frame drops, or no picture during preview.
It is best to leave it off during capture and rely on the level meter indicators.
This is also one of the reasons I prefer to use AmarecTV, but I really miss having those audio level indicators.

First, you just need to make sure the sound goes through. You can test it before you start capturing.
Second, as you mentioned, turn on Volume meter and you will always "see" the sound.
Third, VD has a special setting in Timing to play with in case you have an issue to play back sound during the capture.

I just had this problem again when capturing with my cheap HDMI/USB MS2109 capture device on some Windows 10/11 laptops here.
No picture when enabling audio playback in VirtualDub.
Well, there is a simple, obvious solution which seems to work for me.
Just disable audio playback in VirtualDub itself and use the Windows 'Listen to this device' option for your capture card's audio interface instead.
