No audio when connecting 9800 All-in-Wonder Pro to DirectTV sattelite dish.

Hello,

I've got my 9800Pro All-in-Wonder card connected to the out of my
DirectTV/Tivo sattelite receiver via a coaxial cable. When I bring up ATI's
TV app or any video capturing application I have installed. (Pinnacle Studio
9, Window Movie Maker, DVD Movie Factory) I get a picture after I change to
channel 3, but I don't get any sound.

Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Could it be in the Windows Volume
Control applet? I've upped all the sliders to the max on the Recording
Volume Control, but still no sound.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Jeff

I think you may need some connector connected to your audio sound card
or motherboard.

You may need a cable with a jack "male"connector.that is what i've
been told by the vendor at some electronic shop. that was for video
recording to my pc.

Do you have the audio out from the AIW connected to the line-in or
microphone-in or aux-in or CD-in or whatever ATI recommends for that board?
And are you _sure_? It's easy to get confused with ATI's cabling.

If he's using MMC 9.03(IIRC) or newer the audio is digital through the PCI
bus. Audio is thru Wave not hardware. If the sound card is an Audigy he
needs to look at the MMC Release Notes.
Might be a good idea to make sure the receiver is putting out audio. Audio
on the RF output on my cable box is mono only. If you use S-Video you'll get
a better picture.
 
What audio out? I don't see an audio out on my 9800Pro All in Wonder on the
outside. Might there be a connector on the the face of the card itsself?
BTW, I've using a coxial cable from my DirectTV receiver. And yes, I get
audio when I connect that to my VCR.

Thanks,

Jeff
 
My receiver is at least 30 feet away from my computer, therefore I have to
use a coaxial cable. Unless they make 30+ft S-Video cables.

25ft are common but going further may require an amplifier. only you can
decide if it's worth the time/money.
 
I also connect the RF out of my satellite receiver to the RF in on the AIW
9800 Pro card.

As the newer ATI software (MMC 9.08) sends the audio signal on to the
motherboard bus, I use the spdif audio out on my Abit NF7-S motherboard (go
Soundstorm!) and run it to my 5.1 home theater receiver. The Soundstorm chip
on the motherboard automatically encodes/decodes Dolby Digital.

Make sure the ATI software is set to digital out.

So I can assume that you're getting audio in via the coaxial connection?
If true, what did you have to enable to get that?

Thanks,

Jeff

Look on page 21 of the manual and it will show you how the connection goes.
It's on the AV Out cable.

Audio comes into the board as part of the TV signal on the coaxial
connection. It's getting it _out_ of the board that is the issue.
 
Stranger yet is that if I connect the coaxial to an indoor amplified
antenna, I get audio. But not when I have it directly connected to my
satellite dish. I know I get audio out of the dish because when I connect
it to my VCR I have audio.

Thanks,

Jeff
