Canon pass-though on PC - no sound...

[Savant]

OK, I'm trying to get my Canon ZR70MC to pass-though an A/V signal to my PC. As far as I know I have it set up correctly, but I'm having a couple problems.

While I was able to use VirtualDub for captures from my ATI AIW< when I try using VirtualDub for this it chokes saying there is no driver.

If I use the native Windows support (like MovieMaker) I have no problem seeing the image, but there is no sound. I've gone though the audio settings to no avail.

I have WindowsXP and have the camcorder hooked up via FireWire though my Audigy FireWire port. (it's the high speed model port) The camera is set to do A-D and use video input. The video signal comes though no problem, but I can't get any sound out of it. The cable connecting the external sound is a combo cable which includes the video.

The drivers seem installed correctly as the system recognises the device when connected. Just no sound.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Sorry if I misunderstand but...
...are you meaning you can't hear audio as you capture, or after you capture and then play it back.
If it's during capture then it's not unusual, I can't hear audio when I transfer my DV fotage via firewire, but it's fine during playback.

I was talking about before/during capture. When I setup to capture I see the video but hear no sound. Normally I am accustomed to a capture playing audio as it comes in. (ala VirtualDub) I never bothered to try a capture since I couldn't get any audio. I'll try some test caps and see how it goes, thanks.

What are you using to capture your DV footage on your PC BTW?
