hello all...i recently purchased an AVerTV capture card..and when i go to do a test capture the end result is a clear video with very low volume muddy audio. i am lost. i am using default settings NTSC and mpeg 1 for capture settings..any ideas?? i would like to add viewing the source (tv) with the card is great both audio and video

well i tried 3 capturing programs and established it must be a setting for the recording that i have missed..any ideas?

i've updated the soundcard drivers, capture card drivers, mobo drivers (4n1), still nothing...anyone?

I just had a look at the Data Sheet for the AVerTV card - it's not obvious where it's drawing the sound from. Is it plugged into your sound card via a cable running from the TV card to Sound card?

If so it's probably recording the sound through the 'Line-in' on the sound card - check the volume level on the 'Line In'.

It may seem obvious but it needs to be mentioned.

yes it's connected externally to the sound card through line in....oddly i was browsing reader reviews and found my answer.. a fellow had basically the same problem and was told somewhere the card has issues with certain soundcards and to use the mic jack instead....it works fine this way
