Q: Why I don’t hear any sound, but see a TV picture, when I use the audio
cable?
A: First make sure that the audio out from the TV Tuner S is connected to the line
in on your sound card.
Next, make sure that your Windows mixer settings are set correctly. You can
check for this by double-clicking on the speaker icon next to the clock in the
bottom right hand corner of the screen. Make sure all the appropriate levels are
set about 3/4 the way to the top. You can also click on Options - Properties -
Recording and then set these levels the same.
You may have to recapture your video.
This settings are not necessary when chose “None” in the Audio settings
Q: What can I do, when the audio is sometimes disappearing after 1 minute?
A: This is a very common problem with many TV tuner cards. It doesn't matter
which card you have or which software you are using. If you are experiencing
any of these problems while using your TV card:
- the video freezes or goes funky after x number of minutes
- the audio goes mute after x number of minutes
- channel randomly switches to another after x number of minutes
and you have Norton Antivirus 2003 and Microsoft/Windows Messenger
running on your PC, these 2 programs are probably causing it.
To get rid of these problems, try this:
First, disable all Instant Messenger protection options in NAV 2003 and see if
the problem goes away.
If not, then Messenger might be the culprit. Things can get tricky from here. You
can update Messenger (this can sometimes solve the problem), disable
Messenger (the easiest way is to rename the Messenger folder), or uninstall
messenger all together.
