Delayed sound with ATI TV Wonder Pro w/remote

[FreshPrince]

I'm starting to hate ATI...

1st, the 2D quality of my 9600XT card sucks donkey ballz

Now I just put in this tv card in xp and come to find out there's a delay in the sound. Looks like watching a chinese movie...cool effect, but not cool when watching live tv :|

I find that the program automatically mutes the line in and uses wav in my sound volume control panel. So, I mute the wave and uncheck the mute box for line in. The sound catches up but it sounds like crap

help!

Reinstall your sound card drivers and your tv tuner drivers. I had a similar problem with my DVD decoder, and this solved it.

Use "Driver Cleaner"; follow the instructions in the readme.txt file. http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/
Also try DScaler (latest version 4.18) : http://sourceforge.net/projects/deinterlace/
If sound won't work, then use the dscaler.ini file posted (by a Rage3d forums member) here: Text

This was a clean install so I couldn't possibly see a driver issue. As for DScaler, never played with it, but heard bad things about it...not being stable and all. I would like to have a stable program and ATI sucks at providing that stability :|

just to clarify, I know I have a sound or video lag (depending how you look at it) issue because I have several TV's in the house and I can turn one on next to my room and hear the lag....it's as if the MMC takes a second to relay the video and sound to the computer....this is just BS. I never had that kind of problem with my trusty old STB TV PCI running in W98SE...why is ATI's 2003 card running like crap?! running worse than a 9 year old card? Granted it's running in WinXP, but still, it should run like a dream...heck I paid $100 for it, which is double the price I would've paid for a leadtek :| So, if anyone has the same card and has a TV near the comp, please verify this with me so that I know I'm not the only one

It's an MMC software problem. One soution: Uninstall MMC, then use Driver Cleaner to clean out all traces of "ATI MMC". Next, install MMC version 8.1 or 8.2, and double-check that the sound works normally.. Next, additionally install MMC version 8.9. This solution seems to work, although you'll have 2 MMC's showing in Add/Remove Programs.
One advantage of DScaler is that the scroll-wheel mouse can change TV channels.
