| 369596 | 2005-07-05 06:27:00 | After a lot of frigging around I have finally got a picture onscreen from the video camera with my new WinFast TV2000XP Expert capture card but no sound. Not surprising because I have no idea where to plug in the audio-in connector cable on the motherboard. This motherboard has onboard sound rather than a soundcard and there are no little pins or anything to stick this connector onto. Am I supposed to remove the plug from where the usual audio connector is plugged into and use that? If I do, what about my normal sound? Will that still work? Man this business is going to be a steep learning curve... the darn thing wouldn't install on my usual WinXP, I had to put it on my spare drive with a completely fresh Windows install that has nothing else on it just to make certain the card was OK. Looks like it is going to be a bit of a battle to get it running on the other drive. :( |

| 369598 | 2005-07-05 06:38:00 | Most TV capture cards have an audio in external jack. You can run a short cable from line out on the sound card to audio in on the capture card if this is the case. | Elephant (599) | ||
| 369599 | 2005-07-05 06:40:00 | I can't see anything described as an external audio cable. What does it look like? Edit: Would it be the red plug part of the plug in the picture on this page? (hardware.earthweb.com) |

| 369600 | 2005-07-05 06:57:00 | The expert's audio plugs into AUX or CD1 on the motherboard. (The other end plugs into the connection on the tuner itself). The sound on this card is internal not external, like most. (it doesnt plug into line in on the soundcard). The cable u want is the same as what u plug into the cd or dvd audio connection, on the back of an IDE cd or dvd. This is what u need. www.dse.co.nz |

| 369601 | 2005-07-05 07:27:00 | Still not sure if I understand properly, Speedy. Are you saying not to use the audio-in connector cable that came with the TV2000 XP card but to use a cable like in your DSE link? Or are you saying to plug the card's cable into one like that DSE cable? Or have I got it totally wrong? :confused: Maybe I'll just get under the hood again and have another poke around. |

| 369602 | 2005-07-05 08:08:00 | The Expert tuner doesnt have an external audio input or output . The connection on this tuner is like a 4 pin connection (on the tuner card itself) . Which look like the prongs of a fork . This plugs into the AUX or CD connection (which has 4 pins on the motherboard ) . . . Then if u want sound, just connect speakers etc to the Line out on the soundcard . Unless the Expert u have, is different from the one I use, which only has a remote input, input for video capture, FM aerial and the TV aerial connection . The Deluxe version of this tuner needs a cable from the outside, (not the Expert), so u can connect line out from the tuner to line in on the soundcard . The plug/adapter u asked about in the previous post is for input so u capture from VCR etc which has video and audio / left right inputs . Thats what the red/white/yellow connections are for . |

| 369603 | 2005-07-06 02:05:00 | Woo Hoo!! I now have pictures with sound!! :D Thanks guys . :thumbs: Right . . . now as I said before, I could not get this thing running on my WinXP SP2 Home hard drive but it works fine on my spare drive with a fresh install of WinXP SP1 and nothing else at all installed except the motherboard drivers . No updates, other programs or anything . I am still waiting for the Blaster worm to shut me down and reboot but it hasn't yet after several days so it's not likely to now, but that's for another thread (gives Dynalink router a big hug) . OK . . . so why can't I install this thing on the other drive?? I have tried all different flavours of installation including following the manual's method and directing it to the folder with the latest drivers but it still grumbles . In Hardware Devices there is the dreaded yellow exclamation mark next to Other Devices - Multimedia Controller which is not there on this installation . I have physically removed the thing, deleted all the software, etc and tried reinstalling but no go . I am sure I have missed something but I have no idea what . Anyone got any bright ideas? |

| 369604 | 2005-07-06 02:25:00 | Did u download the latest drivers from here? From 10/6/05? . leadtek . com . tw/eng/support/download . asp?downlineid=67&downline=WINFAST%20TV2000%20XP%20EXPERT" target="_blank">www . leadtek . com . tw Try deleting that Multimedia controller entry . Reboot . Then unzip the zip file off the site, into their own folder . Then go to device manager / That Multimedia controller entry, then double click on it / driver tab / update driver, then point to the the unzipped folder/files, and load each of the files individually . ie: wf88tune, wf88vcap, and wf88xbar . So, u installed the soundcard drivers, and the ide inf files? for the motherboard from the motherboard's cd? |

| 369605 | 2005-07-06 02:33:00 | Yes, I did download the drivers from that link. When I tried deleting that Multimedia Controller from hardware devices it would not delete, not even in safe mode. I had to physically remove the capture card from the PC before I could get rid of it. It is back again now after trying a reinstall and again, will not delete. I have tried updating the drivers to my new downloaded ones from the multimedia controller entry and after pointing it to the unzipped folder it will try updating the wf88vcap driver but then fails, saying that the data is invalid. I redownloaded a fresh lot in case they were corrupted but it says the same thing and will go no further. :( |
