Problem with Video Capture - No sound.

Postby RMS Oceanic » Sat Jan 10, 2004 10:46 am

I have recently dabbled in video capture, and cannot figure out how to get the sound.

The way I capture is I hook up the TV to a scart cable, which turns into an RCA cable at the other end, to the Dazzle 80 DVC device, which is hooked up to a USB port in my computer. I then capture using Windows Movie Maker 2. No matter what I try, I can't get sound. Once I tried connecting the TV's headphone socket to my microphone socket, but the quality was terrible.

Can anyone help?

You need an adapter to take the RCA audio output (I assume you've got a red/white/yellow set of connections coming from your source....if you don't, then that's your problem...) and convert it to a line input. The adapter I have takes the red and white plugs in one side and has a stereo line jack on the other. I insert this jack into my line input on my sound card, and....voila! Sound.

If that doesn't make sense...I can try to explain it better, later.

I'm not quite sure I understand. The way I do it currently, I connect a scart cable to the scart socket of the TV, and the cable I have has the red, white and yellow plugs at the other end. I then plug these into the red, yellow and white sockets on the Dazzle capture device. Result, footage but no sound. Does that help explain where I'm going wrong?

You might want to check out your Recording properties... Open up your volume control in the lower right and then goto Options|Properties. Set it to record and then hit ok. Make sure Line-In is selected as your recording source. Then close the window down...

Other than that I am not sure...

THere's no cable that has to go from your capture card to your sound card? Mine does that...unless I use the adapter (it makes the sound better, cuts out the middleman of the capture card).

My old ATI All In Wonder 128 had an internal cable, it'd connect via an internal CD audio wire into the sound card, rather then a loop threw to the line in.

Of course the CD audio in jack for my sound card was in use by my CDROM so that feature was pretty useless.
