MSI RX800XT VIVO - No Audio Capture

I did a search before I posted this but I can't find anything on the subject, so here goes....
I just got my MSI RX800 XT VTD256 VIVO to replace my ATI Radeon 9700 Pro All In Wonder, and although the 9700 Pro is no slouch, the upgrade was sure worth it in terms of performance.
The only problem I have is that I can't capture video properly using the VIVO, either I get sound and no picture, or picture and no sound, or NTSC video capture instead of PAL.. I get just about every combination except the one I want... The 'source' for my video is the S-Video out socket on a VCR, the audio from the VCR goes to my Audigy 2 inputs just like it used to with the 9700 installed and it used to work fine...
I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping someone out there may have seen this before or perhaps someone can suggest where I should start in order to fix this ?
I installed the card by removing the ATI Catalyst 4.10 using the ATI un-install utility that comes with the Catalyst drivers, I then shut the system down and replaced the All In Wonder 9700 Pro with the RX800 XT. On power up everything went fine and I reinstalled the ATI Catalyst 4.10 without incident.
Instead of using the ATI Multimedia Centre which I always used with my 9700, I decided to give the MSI Media Centre a try seeing as it came with the card, but this doesn't have any 'recording' facility.
I then decided to try the Intervideo WinDVD Creator that also came with the card, but this gives me sound only, no picture. It's almost like the video input is not selected for S-Video but I can't find any way to 'select' the video input in this software.
I then turned to the ATI Multimedia centre as a last resort, and it works like a charm, to a point... I can watch TV or video from the S-Video input, complete with sound. It controls the sound inputs and volume just like it used to with the 9700, but when I 'capture' video using the ATI Multimedia Centre, I get no sound, ONLY video. I checked the settings in the ATI Multimedia Centre and all the audio options are greyed out and I can't select or change any of them, but they used to work fine with the 9700 All In Wonder.
I can't believe that this MSI VIVO card means it's Video In Video Out ONLY and doesn't do audio, after all, whats the point of capturing or playing back pictures without the sound ?
Can anyone tell me what software I should be using as the stuff that came with the card doesn't work for me and the ATI official software doesn't record the audio despite letting me watch it ok.with sound, it just won't record it with sound.
I downloaded the new version of Intervideo WinDVD Creator 2 from the Intervideo Website, and it WORKS, just as it should, but I sure don't feel like paying for this software after just having bought the card which comes with WinDVD Creator 1, but that version doesn't work. Version 2 works perfectly but it's a demo that I downloaded and it will stop working in 2 or 3 weeks if I don't buy it.
Can anyone help ?
How do I capture Sound and Video with this VIVO card ?
Thanks guys...

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion but I've actually found the solution. The problem was actually caused by a faulty RCA to 3.5mm jack converter which had been wired in reverse so that the central conductor of the RCA was connected to the ground pin on the 3.5mm jack and vice versa. I just wish I could remember where I bought tha damned thing so that I could take it back and complain for the time I have wasted trying to sort it out...
Anyway, nothing wrong with my MSI card so who knows what Simply Computers' technical support were talking about.
Thanks again,
Craig.

MS 8606 Audio Capture can't start

Have MSI TV@nywhere Master. The audio capture driver didn't install automatically from the cd. I tried forcing the driver to install and now it says:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Any suggestions or ideas to help??

AVI_IO is a VFW program the TV@nywhere Master is a WMD device. The frame size you are getting from AVI_IO is not an unusual occurance with some TV cards. I can not get VirtualDub to capture over 352x288 PAL although some others brands of TV card can. I have not been able to get AVI_IO to work at all on my WinXP system so I guess that you are not using WinXP.
The fact that you are able to capture using AVI_IO would suggest that the card is OK and that your system is possibly at fault. I did have problems on my first install and the audio drivers did not install but once manually installed they have been no problems from them.
Have you tried clearing out all the TV card drivers and software (I mean manually removing all traces) and re-installing?
Perhaps try moving the card to another slot or just reseating it, and/or remove the drivers via device manager and reboot the PC and let the OS find them again.
Perhaps it may be time to do a clean install of the OS?
I found it nessecary to do it at least every 12 months and sometime much sooner when I was using any other OS before WinXP. It will certainly cancel out any possiblity that it is your system at fault.

Audio Capture from DV Tape

I've reviewed many posts here about audio capture but, I am unable to figure out what the "trick" is to capturing audio alone with the video using the new iMovie. I'm connected via Firewire and I'm able to view the video in capture mode but, I hear no sound. I've checked iMovie Preferences and System Preferences and everything seems to be OK there.
Is this the way this new version of this program functions? I wish I didn't have to post a msg here because, I'm trying to read the previous post and trying anything that seems to pertain to my issue without the desired results.
Can someone please shed some light on what's going on with this function of this program?

I assume you are wanting to hear the audio as you are importing and not that you have no audio once it is imported.
imovie 08 doesn't play audio while importing. While you are using tape (that imports in real time) imovie now imports from a variety of different types of camera such as AVCHD (which isn't imported at real time. Therefore it is no longer logical to playback audio on import.

System Settings-Audio Capture

In FCE, trying to capture VHS via DV converter box. The sound is not coming over. In system settings/scratch disk (internal hard drive) the audio capture is grayed out. Analog RCA composite video & stereo audio connectors in place. How do I get my sound?

You can't get audio during capture as firewire has control.
Use the audio from the play device if you need to hear what's happening. You will notice latency on the FCE capture window, that's normal as well.

Media Encoder not finding "audio capture device"

Hi,
Im using Adobe Flash Media Encoder with Dxtory for Twitch streaming, and at first it worked fine. Recorded both my mic and game audio perfectly. Then seemingly suddenly, I fired it up and it wouldn't stream the game audio. It would my Mic, but thats it. I then unplugged the mic and it started saying I had no Audio Capture Device. I checked in Dxtory and its set up the same as it was when it was working. It picks up both the mic and speakers like it should. I have uninstalled this program multiple times, both 3.1 and 3.2 versions, and each time when I re-download it, it loads up the same profile I had before. So when I am uninstalling it, its not uninstalling everything for some reason. Even though the program is no where to be found after its uninstalled. I have downloaded xsplit, and it picks up the game audio and my mic. So its just this program. Anyone have any ideas? I cant seem to find anything online about this issue.
Thanks!

From where? PP sequence? PP bin? PP Source Monitor? Watch folder?

Audio Capture problem

When Capturing from a DV device on to final cut express HD, only audio is "caught". When I checked the scratch bin the audio selection was disabled (like, the check-bow was dimmed and unable to be changed). I'd like to be able to capture audio without using the voiceover feature and having to completely match audio with video. Ya dig?
Thank you (for at least reading this)!

then why is FCE capturing video but not audio. all the settings are correct, the only thing i fan find wrong is the "audio capture" check box in sratch disk settings under system settings is nulled to where you can't do anything to it. So, unless it's normally like that, I'd say it has something to do with the way it captures audio.
so, please tell me that has nothing to do with it so I can find another reason why it won't capture audio.

Audio capture

I want to whether the cross-platform supports the audio capture?
If not ,are there any methods to finish audio capture on handheld

Hey DaddyPaycheck, the tape deck is actually one of those boombox/shelf stereo with cd carousel, and dual tape deck (5.1 speaker system). Audio was working just before I disconnected the speakers. I tried using the speaker output jacks, as well as another audio out, but neither one of them was putting out audio through my computer's speakers. The sound preference recognizes the iMic, but not the Pyro. But the apps I mentioned recognizes both. Selecting the iMic for output in the system preference doesn't work either. I see the bars moving, but I believe that's just random noise the iMic is picking up.
So, by all intent and purpose, the set up I have should technically work?

Audio Capture only happens if its more than 5 seconds

Hello,
I'm writing a midlet that does audio capture on the LG CU500 phone. When I capture for 5 seconds or more, audio capture works as intended, however if I only record for under 5 seconds, it doesn't work. There is no timer. Would could be causing the problem?
Thanks
aztec30

Here is a snippet of the code that i'm using. When playing back, if I record say 10 seconds, I only hear about 7 seconds of the recording. About 3 seconds are cut off at the end. If I record for say less than 4 seconds, nothing seems to be recorded, nothing plays back.
To record I do the following
try {
if(player != null)
player.stop();
if(ctrl != null)
ctrl.commit();
player.deallocate();
player.close();
ThreadSleep(500);
if (player==null) {
player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio?encoding=audio/amr");
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
player.addPlayerListener(playerListener);
is = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ctrl = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
ctrl.setRecordStream(is);
ctrl.startRecord();
player.start();
} catch (Throwable e) {
Once recording is stopped I do this
try {
player.stop();
ctrl.commit();
player.deallocate();
player.close();
Thread.sleep(500);
if (is !=null) {
playback= Manager.createPlayer(new ByteArrayInputStream(is.toByteArray()),
"audio/amr");
playback.addPlayerListener(playerListener);
playback.start();
} catch (Throwable e) {

Audio capture lost after installing snow leopard

Has anyone else had problems loosing their audio capture in Premiere cs4 after installing Snow Leopard?

Just wondering, is that a plug-in for Premiere?
Similar problem with After Effects maybe?...

Audio capture support won"t install in CD spin doctoris there something I need to know?

How do I install audio capture support? I/m getting an error message: The Installation Failed. Does anyone know of a solutioon?

AFAIK, CD Spin Doctor requires Toast Titanium 9. The latest CE Spin Doctor that works with it is 5.0.4. Once you launch it, the first window that pops up is this.

Audio capture recording .mov - .m4a

I accidentally saved an audio capture recording with QT without switching it to save as audio. It's now a .mov (saved as movie) instead of .m4a. How do I convert from the .mov to .m4a? Also, is there any way to make it save as audio (.m4a) by default?

Ah, yes, that works! Thank you.
A follow-up question: When audio capture is stopped, how can the client program find out when all the audio data has been written to a file on the server. The client needs to know this to perform subsequent operations on the audio file.

Audio capture scratch for iTunes import/48kHz convert

Working in first FCE HD project. I want to import an additional music track from iTunes. Following the manual's instructions for converting iTunes files to 48 kHz for import, it says to "navigate to the project's audio media folder". In the external hard drive's doc folder it shows all the necessary folders there except Audio Capture Scratch ( which was default checked and unselectable in Settings prior to the initial video/audio capture of existing commercials, etc. from a deck).
Apparently setting up this Audio Capture Scratch as a destination that shows in the FCE docs window must be done after the initial set-up. (?) If so, I can't find how to do it. According to what I've been reading, though, the Audio Capture Scratch should already be among the 7 folders (Capture scratch, Render files, Audio render files, etc.) but it's the only one missing. Is this even related? Can audio be imported directly to the project as opposed to the ext. drive?
Question is... Should that in fact be the destination folder? Or do I need to create an "audio media folder" for this project? If so, how? I've not found anything in FCE Help or the Brenneis manual.
Thanks for any help on what must be a basic conceptual hole in my limited mental model.

You can import audio files into FCE from any location
on any HD. The audio file itself could be in your
iTunes music folder but if so, I suggest making a
duplicate copy of the song file in some other folder
(your choice, your location, your folder name) to
minimize the risk of accidently messing up something
in your iTunes music folder.
You could even drag a copy of the file from the
Finder into the FCE Browser. Once it's in the FCE
Browser, you can drag the music file onto one of your
audio tracks.
The ideal format is AIFF, 16-bit, stereo, 48Khz.
Truly thanks for that. But... In order to convert the iTunes file to the above, I have to go to the iTunes Pref. window and the folder location field, click the Change button and navigate to the "project's audio media folder"... But I don't have, can't find or don't know how to make that folder. So I can't specify the destination. I'd love to drag/drop, but the format won't be AIFF, 16 bit 48kHz.
When I read the manuals instruction for importing directly from a CD, it also says to drag the files into my "project's audio media folder", so I'm back to the same problem. I guess I could try dragging from the CD directly to my browser, and I will, but even if that works for now, I need to understand what/where/how to create the audio media folder, as I fear I'm missing a basic understanding here.
And why is there no Audio Capture Scratch folder showing in the FCE doc folder? Even if this unrelated and irrelevant, I'm still puzzled about that. I'd appreciate any clues here. Thanks again.

"Audio Capture Device not selected" message? Help please!

Howdy folks,
I just got a new PC, Windows 7 OS, I've installed ManyCam and version 3.2 of FME and am looking to broadcast again. I don't recall this issue with my old PC (XP OS, Broadcaster StudioPro virtual cam and FME 2.5). I updated to 3.2 as suggested/recommended in previous posts, but I am getting a message telling me to "please select audio capture devise connected to your system." What am I doing wrong or might there be something that I need to download that I missed?
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. I truly loved using FME 2.5 but am doing like you suggest here.
Peace,

Hello -
My problem was fixed by setting a recording devise in my "sound" menu.
What I did was -
1. Open the sound menu from the control panel.
2. clicked on the recording tab.
3. Chose "Stereo Mix - Realtek High Definition Audio" as my default device.
That solved it. It was almost too simple. Hope this helps you!

Audio Capture not available / grayed out

I have a Samsung SC-D263 connected and when I try to capture video in FCE there is no audio. When looking in the settings, the check box for audio capture is grayed out... any ideas?
I managed to find drivers for the camera, but i don't know how to install them...

What audio checkbox are you talking about?
Do you see the video in the capture window? Do the meters move?

Audio captured disabled

Okay, I'm new to this so take it easy on me.
I am working with FCE-HD 3.5, and I have an older camcorder Panasonic PV-DV4000 and I'm using the DV-NTSC easy setup. The capture features were working fine, but (and I don't know what changed) now I cannot capture audio from my camcorder. When I look in the System Settings - Scratch Disks - the audio capture click box is checked but it is disabled. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Patty. I was researching this forum to find postings on exactly this same issue. I found a related post under the topic "Audio Only Capture problem". (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=616689&tstart=165)
In that topic, Ian gives a link to a solution doc that seemed to fix the issue by Trashing a few FCE preference files:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690
The solution above is catered to FCE 2.0. Though I'm using FCE 3.5, I was able to extract what I needed, it fixed the issue I was having.
