ati aiw 128 PRO audio question

[mastersmurfie]

capturing direct to MPEG-2 DVD quality using AIW PRO 128 (old card-3drage chip) with MMC 7.6; audio is very "loud" at 48Khz 16 bit stereo. Also, sometimes when capturing, no sound is recorded, because "line in" is not "selected" anymore in "recording properties" with WindowsXP. I have tried turning the recording volume almost all the way down, and still the same thing. Audio too loud when burned to dvd with MF2. have tried using tmpgc to extract audio, besweet to convert to wav, normalize with goldwave, and same problems...anyone have any suggestions? also, any suggestions on how to make the "line-in" be "selected" all the time? I just recorded 2 hours worth of SG-1 with no sound!!

thanx!

I had the exact same problem... what i did in the end was connect the audio directly into the sound card instead of having it go through the ati card's adapter. That solved the volume level bug.

That's no good. My SG1 came out great!

Anyway, check for bad wiring. The AUXILIARY is what my system uses, not LINE IN for the audio using the ATI AIW DDR32 and ATI MMC 7.7. You using the wrong one? By default, Windows may not show it in the sound area. Go to options, and make sure you can see AUX settings.

Funny. One Smurf helping another!

thank you RealaT and Lordsmurf...i never woulda thought of that...I do not have a connector for the cable to go directly to the sound card, so I changed to AUX as the recording source, and not a problem since....
