VirtualDub AVI Capture Enable Audio Playback not working

[dogpapa]

OK, new problem for me -- in VirtualDub 1.9.11 AVI Capture, I have Enable Audio Playback checked but I'm hearing NO audio playthrough. I know audio is coming in because it shows on the volume meter, and Vdub is capturing and playing back audio fine because I hear it when I play back the captured files, just not while in capture mode. It would be very helpful if I can get it to work, for knowing when to start / stop, not only during PC capturing, but when using Vdub as my monitor when dubbing from VCR to DVD Recorder.

I'm on Win XP SP3, and my capture device is a Belkin USB VideoBus II, selected in Vdub as Device = USB VideoBus II Video (DirectShow), Audio = Capture Device.

Any suggestions?

simply click on the speaker icon (at the lower right on your desktop) depending how your card/software is configured the display or capture panel will be relevant

You mean the Windows volume icon next to the clock in the taskbar? It brings up the volume control for the on-board sound device; the volume's up, and controls the volume of sound I hear when I play the video file in VDub; it's not set any differently in capture mode, there's just no sound.

Right click on it and select Playback Devices. Un-mute any that are muted. Also check the properties of each Recording Devices.

When I right-click it there are two options. The first is Open Volume Control, which opens the Windows mixer for the onboard sound card; no items are muted, and if I switch it to Recording Control, you can only select one item; currently Stereo Mix is selected because sometimes I use Audacity to record system sound. Again these are both settings for the on-board sound card; if I switch it to USB VideoBus II Audio, the OK is greyed out because the mixer doesn't apply. The second choice from right-clicking the speaker is Adjust Audio Properties, which gives the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties with 5 tabs - Volume, Sounds, Audio, Voice, Hardware. The Audio tab Sound playback Default device and Sound recording Default device are both set for the on-board sound card. I tried switching the Sound recording Default device to USB VideoBus II Audio but I still didn't get audio playthrough in VDub. Again, I think the Belkin device is setup correctly to record audio, but something is not allowing VDub to route it from the Belkin to the onboard sound card during capture.
