When I am transferring from my VCR to my PC - using Pinnacle 10 studio
plus, both picture and sound is fine. But when playing the AVI back
the sound is gone.

Any suggestions?

Check the settings in the Windows Volume Control program (Start | Programs |
Accessories | Entertainment) - in particular, the Recording settings must be
set so Line In is enabled and the volume is turned up. I had this problem
whenI tried to record from an analogue capture card until I remembered that
just because you can hear the live sound, you may still not be supplying
that sound to the recording program (eg Pinnacle).

I know you've said 'VHS' but you're not capturing *SVHS* by any
chance, if you are, you do know that the 4 pin DIN socket only carries
the vision signal? You need to use the audio (phono) outputs also.

I transfer the sound via a peperate cable. The sound is ok during
recording but not on playback.

So sound is getting into the sound card and coming out of the headphone /
line out socket during recording? That suggests that you've got everything
connected correctly but that the sound card isn't set to feed the sound to
the recording application - as I suggested originally.

But it was good that someone reminded us that S-Video doesn't include the
audio, only the video - I'm sure there are some people who aren't aware of
that.

My problem is solved :-)

I had pointed at the videoc ard instead of the sound card for audio
import.

Thank you for all your suggestions :-)
