Expert: Chris Morrison Date: 7/20/2008 Subject: Capture Card... Cable
Question Hey thar,
I asked you a few weeks back for advice on getting a new capture card. Upon your recommendation, I bought the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1600. I'm pleased with it! As far as video goes, anyway.
For some reason, the cable I have won't fit into the audio jack on the capture card. I have a cord with AV cables on one end (hooked into VCR), and S-video/audio jacks on the other end (hooked into computer). But I guess the audio jack is too big to fit into the capture card, as though the card needs one of those tiny speaker plugs?
So I was just hoping you had advice on what kind of cable to use with this thing... I honestly don't know what to search for. When I look for cables, they all look like the standard (larger) size. It might be doable if I could hook the computer-end audio plug into the microphone jack and use 'line-in' or something, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks again!
Answer First you need a RCA to 3.5" jack that will go into the audio in on your sound card. http://www.adorama.com/HOCMR203.html?sid=12166656661055672
thats just for a picture reference. you can get that type of cable at wallmart or just about anywhere.
You then need to go into the settings of the tuner card and tell it to use your sound card input.
The little 3.5 jack on the card should be for the remote sensor, unless your is a upgraded model from mine.
This is how mine is set up, let me know if this is not how yours is.
