Dual Avermedia m150's

[SuicideDog]

I got them working. I wanted to post to let everyone know that you can get them working together. I'm using the 1.0.6.20 drivers from the avermedia GLOBAL site. I was having problems getting them both to work at first. I was pulling my hair out and scouring the forums trying to find a fix. What got them working was that they COULD NOT be in PCI slots next to each other because they didn't like sharing the resources.

My rig:
P4 1.6
Geforce 5200FX w/S-video (Forceware 71.89)
512Mb ram
160 Gb disk
DVD+RW/CD+RW drive
XP SP2
GBPVR 99.5
2X OEM Avermedia m150 running 1.0.6.20 driver
2X Logitech Coreless Rumblepad 2
Firefly RF remote control


Video Decoder:
GPL MPEG-1/2 Decoder (This decoder is free and out performs the pay decoders out there)

Audio Decoder:
AC3Fliter (free)

Audio Renderer:
Intel intergrated Audio (I couldn't get the audio to work with directsound for some reason)

The only thing that doesn't work is the live preview. IT has video but no audio. I've seen a post on here somewhere that says they were able to get it working but alot of places where it says live preview won't work. I'll keep trying and let you know.

At $40 a card (google seach) this was a very cheap system for me.

I was able to get LIVE TV working with the Avermedia m150-d 's !!

I installed the nvidia purevideo set the video and audio to use the nvidia codecs and on used the encoder pass-through setting on the liveTV deinterlacing option. Now I get liveTV with audio!!!

Has anybody succeeded in getting an Avermedia m150 to work under Win2k?

I've got one sitting around, and don't have an XP box to put it into... would like to add it to my media machine, but when I've tried with the MCE-only drivers I get system instability and random reboots.

Are there any driver configurations that do work?
