SoundStorm issues with AIW Radeon

[xycury]

Everyone-

Trying to setup a HTPC, hoping this is the correct forum to post.

I have an A7N8X Deluxe and an Orig AIW Radeon. I have read almost everything on this and am just stuck!

I have all my "windows" sound pumping out of the onboard S/Pdif port to an Inspire Digital 5500. This uses the RCA Coaxial connection. Everything is great there.

The problem is with the ATI AIW card. I can not hear any audio through the TV app. I have read before that this is an issue, but I can't find the source! I have plugged in the Line in Cable, and also have an Aux connection from the Video card to the Mobo Aux connection. In order to get sound to pump out of the app is to use the Time shifting ability. This makes sense because it's encoded and played back; therefore it will pump out of the S/Pdif audio.

Now another problem is recording feature either through the scheduler or straight from the app. I thought I had that working, don't know how but now it's not working. Last time I used it I could say months.

I have gone through all my audio connections making sure nothing is muted and tried enabling the analog portion of it. I have run out of resources and was hoping the helpful community could share some light into my dark corner.

I was hoping I could pump the audio through another channel, say the Mic or even to my digital box that the speakers come with. Using the line in on my digital box works!... but I would like to use the pc features so that I can skip any switching on my speaker side and of course record the audio when I want to record a TV show. Plus I would like to double the stereo sound to pump audio out of the back speakers too, it should be possible.

If you have links, please post! I?ve been searching for days now. And any AIW users out there, any answers, please reply!

Thank you all for your consideration in reading this post and thank you again for any replies.

Tim,

I am currently using the AIW in a shuttle MN13N itx board and have a chaintech card AV710.... the 1.30 driver which is found on the chaintech site ?!?!?! Anyways it's the second driver .... the on cd one is 1.10 and then there is 1.30 something then the latest which is based really on VIA chipset is 1.48. Anyways..... with this card you can get spidf out while using hte 1.30 driver to take the input and pump it out on it by default.

i think the way Soundstorm was built that the Driver is all bad. and that it is matched with the all in wonder..... cause as soon as i start the tv app the sound input is cut off totally. and its just messed up.

so far it's been ok... stereo sound output but it is going through an optical out.... (no coaxial) on card. I am going to be trying a SB Live 5.1 and using the digital out on that card to see if i can get it to work with the even later drivers than 28th of feb. the ones before coudn't see the card.... WTF!!!!!!! Anyways that made me pist off and almost broke the card... cause i wanted to use CMSS .... don't know what the spells out but really it is the SB chipset doubling the sound output to take 2 channel and dump 4 channel....... i couldn't find it at all on the CD driver set... and course couldn't install the new drivers.... but will be testing it out on the 28feb's...... this weekend....

if you reply to this after this weekend i can post an update.... if else i'll forget cause this is like a month old...

i should let you look at another site which had many posts.... and some insight... i just gave up... wish i could talk to nvidia and ati at the same time heheh


Some links here for your pleasure in reading... all mine too and the first one is another link inside that might have the solution!.. i never checked these so i'm reading now

yo i have the same problem. You have to switch back to direct for the TV audio...i think its because you are using the input on the audio card...thats all i have been able to find
