Here's my checklist:

*Make sure you have the latest drivers for the card
*Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX
*Make sure line-in is selected as the record source, including in Windows volume settings
*Make sure line-in is not muted in playback settings in Windows (unbelievably this is an option, and the default one at that - and it will override the selection of line-in as the recording device)
*Make sure you plugged your AIW into the line-in on your soundcard

[sillyrabbitt]

Make sure you have the latest drivers for the card

3276 driver

*Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX
8.1

*Make sure line-in is selected as the record source,
it looks like it is?? it says it is

*Make sure line-in is not muted in playback settings in Windows (unbelievably this is an option, and the default one at that - and it will override the selection of line-in as the recording device)

its not muted

*Make sure you plugged your AIW into the line-in on your soundcard

i didnt unplug anything when i upgraded...so the wires are all in the same places


i started playing around in sound properties and i added a check mark for video volume whatevr that it is??? and i got sound capture for mmc 7.5

BUT NO SOUND on virtual dub????? WHY??? what am i doing wrong???

THANKS for the help!!!!!!!!!

I'm not quite sure at this point. If line-in (and not microphone) is selected in Windows volume control/recording settings, the volume is turned up sufficiently, it is not muted, and all the drivers are up to date, I'm not sure what else to check.

Sounds like an issue with the wrapper.

Try bypassing the videocard by plugging the line in from your source directly to the sound card.

If you get audio that way, then the card's drivers aren't enabling the audio on captures coming through the VFWWDM wrapper. You probably can't capture at resolutions over ??? X 240 either. Same problems with the WinTV-FM cards.

[kinneera]

Just as an aside, I've had no problem capturing at resolutions up to 720x480 with my AIW 128 running in WinXP.

kinneera, Is that with the MMC software or with VirtualDub?
Just curious if you can get full frame captures with VFW based captures apps on that card under XP.

"Sounds like an issue with the wrapper.

how do you do the above?? why can i capture with sound from mmc 7.5 and not vdub???

thanks

Because sillyrabbit, trix are for kids!..lol sorry

The reason it may work with mmc and not vdub is beacuse it is vdub talking to the card and not mmc, one thing you could try is to open mmc make sure you have sound then close it and open vdub. If that doesn't work then I would try connecting an audio source to your line in on your audio card and see if you get audio in vdub, even if you are capyuring off the tuner it doesn't matter, we are looking at finding the problem, if this works it is the way vdub is working with your video card. If it doesn't then it is vdub not picking up the sound from your sound card, see!

[sillyrabbitt]

trix are for kids .....but this aint no trick its almost killing me!!!

i tried what you said to open mmc and then vd but no go??? i get very muffled sound

why did it work with win98se and not xp??

can you give me a link to pictures or something with more explicit instructions....because i am at a total loss trying to figure out how to hook my sound card up to vdub????

i thought xp made things even easier???? not true win98se was working much better for me???

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!! (its really appreciated)
