Not sure about the answer, but you would get MUCH more help with this if it were in the right section, the tech lounge is mainly for BS'ing and stuff

Looks like a mismatch between the sound format on the camcorder and the settings in your capture interface. Try another program for capture and see what happenes (Ulead Media Studio Pro has a demo available). Also you haven't mentioned if there is no sound during the capture (which is not a problem, some programs do that to minimize the CPU usage during the capture process) or when you play the recorded file. Also make sure that your OS has the latest updates.

I had a similar problem with Dr. Divx with my Panasonic camcorder. I tried Windows Moviemaker 2 and it worked fine and then I used Dr. Divx to encode to Divx format. Hope that helps.

ulead media works fine. the pinnacle help page took me through the change of audio codecs, but this didnt work.

ulead seems very good though i may just stick with this!

I have a Samsung DV-Cam and had the same problem at first, but found that changing the audio stream from 16bit to 12bit, solved the problem, and audio quality was not noticable as being poorer.

I struggled about 5 hours for this problem for my Samsung digital camcorder SCD103. First, neither of recommended movie capture software gave me a sound. I did not see any option to change the auto stream from 16 bits to 12 bits.

Finally, I downloaded the Samsung DVC media – this allowed me to write the asf file. I got the sound from the file watching it with InterDev Movie maker. However, any further work with file was not successful – after conversion the InterDev movie maker gave file output that required Codec Sharp G.726 Audio (45) codec.

Any other software like Media Player, Real Player, required the same Codec. The problem is that this Codec is not is no longer signed by Microsoft. So the links for downloading are disabled.

I tried to convert the asf file to other formats. After at least 5 tries I found the software that converts this file to other formats such as avi and still keeps the sound – AVOne Gold Converter.

How a simple task of streaming the video output to the computer becomes so complicated? Who cares about the customers?

After you do that, make sure the sound controls are turned up in the sound properties.
