No audio at capture

[Guest]

I have a Sony TRV-33E miniDV, when using Sony packaged software for capturing
on USB, audio works OK. When using WMM or Roxio for capture, video is OK but
no audio. WMM and Roxio play back video and audio from files captured with
Sony software OK. Could capture everything with Sony and then use other
programs but it's nice for things to work properly with each program. It's as
if Sony driver has taken over USB audio in. Have not tried Firewire/iLink as
computer doesn't have card. Any suggestions for video editing novice.

This seems to happen quite often when capturing with USB.
Your computer doesn't have a firewire card but it isn't an expensive item to
buy and it is very easy to install so I very highly recommend purchasing
one.

Thank you for reply, until I sort out a Firewiire is there not a work
around/solution. What is the cause/problem.

I can't really say for sure what the problem with USB is (other than that
it's slower) except that it seems to happen a lot and when capturing with
firewire the capture problems are rare.

While I agree you need to get a firewire card for your system, try this for
the Roxio/WMM capture. On the MM screen that appears after Capture from
video device, make sure that your sound card is selected. Occasionally this
will get changed. Also, if you think the right device is selected, attempt
to try it with a different device selected (if one is available.)

For Roxio Video Wave, after selecting the Capture icon on the main editing
screen and selecting your capture device, the capture screen will come up.
Click on Settings and again make sure that the proper sound device is
showing.

Hope this solves your problem.
