PVR-150 only mono sound

[pgoelz]

I researched this and found a bunch of references to people with PVR-150s who only got mono sound. There was the suspicion that it was due to a driver issue but I was unable to find any references to a fix.

My recordings are all in mono and the WinTV application reports that I am configured for stereo but that the current mode is mono.... regardless of the channel I am tuned to.

Has anyone who had the "stuck in mono" issue ever gotten the PVR-150 to actually record in stereo?

It's been a long time since I bought my 150 (3 or 4 years?) - this sounds like something I might have encountered early on, not sure. I do remember that I had issues with the latest driver posted at the Hauppauge site and I had to drop back to an older one - maybe the one that came on the CD in the box. If you are using the latest driver from the site, try dropping back to an older one. If not, try upgrading.

Unfortunately, I bought it on Ebay and it did not come with a CD. So I downloaded the driver and application. That was a couple months ago. I am currently using the latest driver from the web site. Is there an archive somewhere that has older drivers? I haven't found it on the official web site.

For the record, I downloaded and installed "older" drivers and bingo, sound is in stereo now! Lets hope that I don't inherit the "some channels have no sound" issue I have read about with "older" drivers.

Thanks,
