I have the AVC-3610 working with both tuners but is there a way to get GBPVR to support the FM on it?
Ok I got GBPVR to scan and get lock in the FM pluggin by changing the entries in direct.ini. Here is what I have currently.

I set tuner 1 to FM and the second without because this was the only way I could get a lock when scanning. However I still get no audio. Attached are my logs if anyone has a suggestion.
Those logs dont contain an attempt to use the radio. Can you try again, then repost the logs?
Sorry about that I thought I got the right logs. Try these....
I could be wrong, but I think your direct.ini definitions above are missing a setting called PIN_CAPTURE_PREVIEW_AUDIO_OUT, which is the name of the preview audio out pin on the capture filter for this device.
I tried adding the setting
Code:
PIN_CAPTURE_PREVIEW_AUDIO_OUT=Preview Audio
but that did not work. I opened the graph in Graphedit although this is a little above me.

I tried changing the name from Preview Audio to Audio Virtual Out but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Thanks for the help
Jeff
It doesnt look like this device has a preview audio out, so I dont think you're going to get the FM radio working.

The last think you could try is setting <ForceFMBufferingMode>true</ForceFMBufferingMode> in config.xml, and making sure you have the LAME encoder installed: http://www.elecard.com/ftp/pub/directsho..._dshow.zip
That does not seem to have helped. Thank you for your time.
Well I have found another issue with recordings. Both tuners work but The audio and video bitrate are not set correctly. I choose low quality but the bitrate for the video is 9000 and I have the audio set for 192 but it records at 384. Anyone have an idea if there is anything I can do to correct this.
In case anyone is using this I was able to get the FM working. Although I do not have the HP branded version of this device I downloaded the HP driver for it and installed it. It works fine and also gives you an addtional pin on the Adaptec USB Capture Device called Audio Preview. I made these changes to the direct.ini and now FM radio works. I set tuner #1 with fm and tuner #2 without.
