ATI Capture Sound Question

[jjm]

I am able to capture video and sound using the ATI AIE 8500DV and SounBlaster Live Value. The problem is that the captured sound seems to be set at too high a level and is garbled at times. Is there any way to "reduce the volume" of the captured sound? I am using ATI's Multimedia Center.

Have you tried changing some of the settings on the sound card mixer?

Sound mixer settings had no impact at all.

OK, I did a quick search and found the registry entry for the sound
volume....mine was set at 440!

This I suppose would explain why it sounded so terrible...the other setting
was at 244..which I thought was still a bit high but left it. I bumped the
record down to 175, and this seems to be a good level for it (better to be
too low than too high IMO...can always normalize it later)

I'm really curious what other people have for this setting...and why the
installation software would put it this high...

At least I found the problem with the sound

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ATI Technologies\Multimedio\Features\TV\Sound

Value Sound: Defaulted at 244 (left as is)
Value Record Volume Defaulted at 440 (changed it to 175)

There is also one labled User RecVol I left this alone as I didn't know what
it was for. It has a value of 1 (for on?)

I wonder if there is a registry setting to let the software capture audio to
a seperate wav file, rather than to the embedded mp2 file you get with the
mpeg settings....
