Records great, but what about the audio???
After going to great lengths to get this card to work, I find that it does a
great job. I am, however, having trouble with the volume of recorded shows. When recording (from TV), the volume is fine...plenty of range that can get loud. The resulting recording is unacceptably low. I've tried the "good" and "DVD" presets with no change. The "wave" volume slider on the mixer, which controls the volume of the .mpg or .vcr file, is all the way up, as is the master volume. Although I've looked, I can't seem to find a setting to increase the recording volume. I may be overlooking something simple, but I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark |

You also need to turn the TV volume up when recording. The TV volume also
controls the recording volume. Do you actually have the card hooked up via Line-In on the back of your sound card, or is it connected internally? If it is connected to the back of the sound card, it should be connected to Line-In. You can re-run the initialization wizard and make sure Line In was selected. You don't have to go through channel setup again, you can just hit "next" until you get to the audio connection option. You can also check through windows volume control, or your sound card's mixer app (if there is one) to make sure that Line in is selected as the recording source and not muted. When recording, it will set the recording volume to the position of the TV volume slider, so if the volume slider is low on the TV app, it will record at a low volume.

Yes, I've tried and checked all that you've suggested. I even tried some registry edits. Nothing seems to work. A search through this group for "volume" and "sound" also seems to provide no solutions, although there were suggestions. This seems to be a common issue, although ATI has nothing on their web site.. One other thing I tried was enabling the onboard audio (C-Media) and changing all my mixer settings to C-Media, but it just made the system lock up whenever I tried to start the TV app. Thanks for your response.

I needed to run the Volume Applet when running MMC in recording volume mode;
MMC ALWAYS seemed to adjust this every time I started recording, I recorded a little bit, adjusted the recording level, and was happy after a little trial and error, and MMC seemed to remember my level after a while.

Did you try tweaking the recording volume in the registry?
HKCU\Software\ATI Technologies\Multimedia\Features\TV\Sound ....and modify the "Record Volume" entry as a decimal value. 1000 = 100% -- Robert J.

That seems to have worked, Alan. Thank you for the suggestion, and a simple one at that! It's inly AFTER it's recording that it worked. The only thing I don't like is that at that volume, I get a lot of static thru the headphones, but I guess that's one for the hardware groups. Thanks again!
