i have the same problem with my aiw (and with my wife' sister 9000 vivo, but here no solution ...).
what i do is: first start the tv app from ati mmc, close, then start the capture program (virtualdub for me).
strange thing but it works.

I wish I would have seen this post 2 months ago.

I've had similar problems with my AIWs. For some reason, using other apps that involve sound/video BEFORE loading the capture program clear up the issue. I came to the same conclusion earlier today.
