AIW X800XT unable to capture sound

i had this card for about a year and have never been able to capture
the audio portion from an analog audio/video source using the breakout
cable. WDM driver is installed and there's no yellow question marks on
system's hardware. But VirtualDub and Nero Vision detect no audio
source.

any idea how to work around this?

The audio is digital(WAV). It's not like it was with analog where it used
"line-in" or "auxiliary". You probably have something set wrong with your
sound card. With a Creative card you'd need to set record to "What U Hear".
If that doesn't work try setting the sound card to default and the play with
the settings. Make sure you have the latest sound card drivers. Early Audigy
drivers had a known problem with the AIW.

Don't recall it ever causing your problem but occasionally installing the
WDM drivers will corrupt my Audigy2 drivers and I have to reinstall them.
The corruption doesn't show up in Device Manager as a problem.

Have to say it just in case, S-Video doesn't carry audio. Audio lines still
need to be used.

Volume Control, Recording: make sure correct input is enabled.

i set my recording input to "What You Hear" but the thing is i
couldn't hear anything.

But i can capture sound if i bypass the audio connectors on the
breakout cable and just use the line-in on my audigy card, i just
don't like this setup too much and i wanted the capture to work using
only ATI supplied cables, which is a mess by the way.

It makes senses that the capture sound is digital but somehow the
digitized sound couldn't make it to my sound card (via the PCI
subsystem maybe?). My chipset is NF3 250GB, do others chipset has this
problem with AIW X800XT?

i never knew that AIW has issue with audigy. Will try to update the
driver for my audigy to see if it help

Thanks so much!

It's been a while since the audio went digital. At least 2 years so it's
kind of old news. Just brought it up cause you never know when someone might
not upgrade them at all. The problem is still mentioned in ATI/AMD release
notes.

Not impossible it could be the chipset drivers but unlikely unless others
have had problems. Not familiar with your board.

If not sound card drivers/settings you may need to uninstall the ATI stuff,
do a manual cleaning and reinstall per ati.com/install
