Hauppauge Nova-T (90002) & Audio Synch

[MastusAR]

I'm having problems with audio synch (tried defrag already).
In live-TV mode audio is synched, but in recordings I get a 1-1,5 second lag on audio.

Machine: Athlon XP 2600+ / 512MB RAM / 160GB SATA HDD / Hauppauge Nova-T (90002) / ATI Radeon 9550SE (oh, and Intervideo demuxer)

Any suggestions?
Should I try the CyberVideo MPEG Demuxer or what is the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Try the Cyberlink or Showshifter muxers - I have never had any luck with the Intervideo one - it either does what you're seeing or it records jumpy/stuttery/garbled pictures and sound.

BTW, do you experience the audio time lag immediately you start playing the recording? I sometimes get audio sync. probs after watching a recording for a while - usually a RW/FF will get it back in sync. or stop/play/resume. It tends to happen with long progs/films after maybe an hour - I don't recall it happening with any recordings made with my analogue capture devices.

Cheers,

Got it now. Uninstalled Intervideo muxer (Which happened to corrupt Intervideo DEMuxer...) and changed to Cyberlink muxer + InterVideo DeMuxer. Works like a charm.

Thank you for your reply.

I hope you get on OK with the Cyberlink muxer - I like it with respect to quality of recordings but it has been known to crash the recording service on my machine (maybe 1 in 10 recordings). Then again, my machine decided to reboot itself about an hour ago for no good reason - time for a rebuild methinks!
