s-video is a "video only" carrier, you still need to use the RCA jacks for
the sound. (red and white)

| When I connect camcorder to PC card using S-video cable and try to capture
| the video, I get no audio. But when I use an RCA-plug connection, I get
| audio.
|
| I wondered if anyone had ideas on how to fix the S-video connection
problem.
| Here's setup.
|
| SYSTEM. WinXP(pro) PC with Windows Movie Maker, and connecting a Sony
| digital camcorder, abt 3 yrs old. The PC has an ATI Radeon 9000pro
| all-in-wonder multimedia card...it has a purple cable that ends into a big
| block that has 4 connectors...S-video, RCA-left, RCA-right, RCA-video.
|
| RCA-PLUG CAMCORDER CONNECTION. The camera can output to the three RCA
plugs
| (wht, red, yellow), and
| the ATI card can accept this. When used, works fine, but would still like
to
| use simpler s-video, and resolve its problem
|
| S-VIDEO CAMCORDER CONNECTION. The camera can output to S-Video and the
ATI
| card can accept same. I linked with s-video cable. But no audio during
| capture. Don't think it's cable...it buzzes out perfectly with volt/ohm
| meter. Don't think its audio card because the card gets "TV-tuner" sound,
| plus microphone, CD, and all else. Also, (X) Line-In is checked in
Windows,
| I think. (Oddly, in Windows, for "Recording Controls" you can only check
one
| at a time from choices... Line-in, TAD-in, Auxillary, etc.)
|
| Thanks for any suggestions,
| George
