Audio dependent on actual PVR volume on Winfast PVR when recording

[paruhd0x]

Here is my setup...

Coaxial cable connected to tv tuner
Audio out (on tv tuner) connected to Line-in (on Audigy 2 value).

then speakers and crap connected to sound card.

Anyway, the audio from the tv tuner goes through the line-in on my sound card... so I have these settings on my PVR software:

I photoshopped some so I could show you the options available.

The problem is for Audio-Out Control Line the only thing that adjusts the volume is Line-In.

And the only two options for Audio Record Line that get any audio is "What you hear" and the Analog Mix.

When I go to record some video... the audio on the recorded file is dependent on the volume of PVR at the time. If I go and mute the audio or change it up or down... it does the same on the actual file.

It used to not do this, but ever since I upgraded from a SoundBlaster Live Value to an Audigy 2 value it has done this. I've reinstalled all the PVR software and drivers and the problem still exists.

Thank you for your time, any help is appreciated greatly.

Do you still have access to the old windows recording volume control? I just remember you can select 'line-in' as the recording device, while what you hear is a totally independent slider that has nothing to do with the actual recording (avoids the muting and volume problem you're having now).

Have you tried plugging the speakers into the audio out of the vid cap card then adjusting the volume in the PVR software? I know you said it didn't use to have a problem, but now if you adjust the volume in the PVR software with the speakers directly plugged into it, does the level in the speakers change?

Hmmm maybe this is the problem. I no longer have a "Line-in" on the recording control. I guess I can try completely uninstalling soundblaster software and reinstalling.

Note: I made sure in properties that all selections were checked.

Nope, uninstalled all the drivers/programs and tried installing just the bare bones drivers and it still does not have "Line-in" option for recording.

Sorry, I was attending WWDC up in SF, I haden't gotten a chance to respond. I'll look at it tonight.

Hmm, did you try plugging in the speakers directly into the capture card's output and then adjusting the volume (to see if it goes up or down)?

Also, with the recording and normal volume control panel open, do any of the sliders move when you adjust the volume in the TV Capture app (including mute)?
