sky digi to tv card sound problem
 

i can get audio and picture fine when i am watching it , the problem i have is when i record and then try and play back , the sound is distorted as if the input signal is too high , no amount of fiddling seems to cure it :( , i tried turning the digi box sound down as far as it goes and it helped albeit slightly :( , this has got me right stumped :erm:

hi Paul :)

have you checked the properties for recording in your volume control??

I just had a look & a recent install of xp had defaulted to microphone selected for the source, not line in (or whatever your card is set for)???

edit - what I mean is, the volume may be set too high there, whichever device is chosen :dozey:

thanks , i have checked that and it is set to line in , it has deffo got me beat this one :(

tried lowering the volume setting there?

my ati card doesn't like a record volume setting much over 50%, for line in, or it distorts..;)

Re: sky digi to tv card sound problem
 

yep , tried it all the way down to zero and it still wont have it , it is almost as if the sound is going somewhere else , i know that sounds stupid but ............ :erm: :D :D

you could try running the config routine, again - on mine, during the setup, I can hear the sound on the chosen input, when it is right & I seem to remember a level meter - iirc.... :dozey:

finally tracked it down to a dodgy connection into the sound card :dunce: :D :D :D
