Mixing components from different MMCs may mess up your installation, and AFAIK MMC 7.9 was intended for TV Wonders. I would suggest either using MMC 7.7.0.1 (the final 7.x version for AIWs) or upgrading to MMC 8.x - all these are available on the ATi site at http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html. patrickp |

Therefore I just did the channel frequency just by myself. Guess what? After recording some tv shows - there's NO sound. It seems to be that this videocard is full of surprizes! User |

User How much RAM are you using, User, and have you tried closing all other applications before scanning for channels? Do you only lose sound when you record, or do you not have sound on your TV app at all? Just a few thoughts; it always helps to try to describe your problem and the circumstances around it (system specs, what led up to the problem, etc.) as fully as possible. Are you also using the current display and capture drivers, and how did you upgrade? Did you uninstall the old stuff first? Have you run the ATi configuration app tests and what did they say (be warned; it may report idiocies like MMX is not enabled on your CPU - which would clearly be nonsense - but nevertheless may give some useful info)? patrickp |

There's a good thread at http://www.rage3d.com/board/ about this. If you're not happy about editing your registry - a not unreasonable attitude - you need to get a good registry app: the one I've always used is the registry tool in the jv16 Power Tools suite. It's unfortunately gone commercial now, but you you be able to find a copy on google - 1.3 was the last freeware version. patrickp |
