Audio problem with SBLIVE and TV Wonder VE

[bde]

As the subject suggests, I have a problem when capturing audio from my VCR to the TV Wonder VE. It begins as a low hum, and builds up throughout the first minute of capturing. I've tried changing the Audio format, and the video format (From MPEG to Divx, to Quicktime to Windows Media), and nothing helps. I have the line-in settings set up, and the sound is sooo low, that it doesn't capture anything other than high pitched noises. I then set it up to be recorded via the microphone port, and this only complicates the sound more, giving a constant humming noise. I've replaced the cables, so I know that it's not something with them. I think it may be either a driver conflict (SBLIVE: the newest WHQL ones, TV WONDER: MMC 7.6 Beta), or it may be something to do with interference.

NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE THE 20DB boost set up, (in the mixer settings), and I STILL have the humming noise!!!

Hmm... I think it may actually be some sort of interference, as a few minutes after posting this, the sound went away for a bit and came back... just as the fans on the cpu turned off for a bit and came back on... (I haven't a clue as to why they do this)... oh well... time to upgrade... it's an old SLOT A athlon. so with the two fans on it, I suppose that interference is normal...

I answer most of my own questions on this board, I guess... I'm a bit insane...

Try this:

I learned this from Liquid on IRC channel:

Click Start
Run
type: sndvol32 -r

now select Line In if that is where the in volume is coming from you want to record.

I had this problem as well, drove me crazy till someone helped me too.
