152502 2003-06-14 07:59:00 Hi everyone,

I just bought a TV Excel BT878P and have set it up to capture video from my VCR. The video part of the capture seemed to be okay, but I was getting a very low audio output. I fed the composite audio output from my VCR to the audio in of the TV card and then fed the audio line out from the TV card to the line in of my PC. When I listen to the audio coming out of my PC, it was okay, the audio in the captured file was poor. I was wonder if anyone would know is there any way of boosting the audio output during the capture please?

Thanks,

Edmond.

I record sound directly into the Line in on the soundcard, there should be no need to buffer it via the TV card.

This may be where the level is being lost?
