[hairybloke]

when i'm capturing with the dc10+ i don't seem to be getting any sound , i can hear it through my live drive but the capture file has no sound and no sound file has been captured , anyone help please .

[loveturtle]

in control panel
open audio
make sure on recording it saysmiro dc10
and make sure use only prefered devices is checked
it is trying to use the live to record thats all

[hairybloke]

still no good m8 check all control panels and audio is enabled but no sound on any captured video , any more ideas please

[loveturtle]

if it wasnt showing miro dc10 in audio properties then you will have to change it to that and recapture


That was Windows control panel you checked right?not control panel of capturing software

[hairybloke]

as far as i can tell m8 it is saying miro dc10+ in the control panel unless i'm looking in the wrong place , in which case can you take me through it one step at a time and precise as to where to look . thanx for the help though m8 , i appreciate it very much .

in windows click on start in lower left then settings then control panel
double click on sounds and multimedia
click on the audio tab at the top
on playback set it to your sb live or whatever sound card you have
on prefered recording device make sure it says dc10
if not change it
at the bottom put a check in use only prefered devices
if it is already checked uncheck it and check it again
at the bottom click apply and ok
now try capturing some brief footage then play it back and see if it now has sound
if not check your cables,on my dc30+ the audio cables are always getting loose

... i can hear it through my live drive but the capture file has no sound ...

What do you mean by "you hear it ... but the file has no sound"?

You do realize that the DC10+ is a video capture card only, right? You have to feed sound into the "line in" port on your sound card (you may need a male RCA to male 3.5 inch audio adapter).

Assuming that you installed sound drivers and you connected the audio cable to the line in socket, your captured AVI file should have video and sound.

You are using Pinnacle Studio to capture, right? Or AVI_IO? Or VirtualDub?
