Need Help with AIW 9800 Pro, I'm lost!

XavierFrost · 04-09-2005, 12:46 PM

I purchased my ati aiw 9800 pro awhile ago, and had some trouble setting it up to play xbox on my computer. I bought an svideo cable for the xbox and that allowed me to watch and play xbox on my pc. today i tried to hook up my cable so i could watch tv as well, and this is where my problems started. I managed to get it hooked up right, but when I tried to view tv or play xbox in full screen, the sound from the line in on my audigy 2 sound card would cut out. I tried to reinstall the sound card drivers to see if that would work, but it didnt. So i reinstalled the ati software, such as the media center and drivers. Now i get sound only for watching tv, and I get nothing from my xobx, which is hooked up just as it was before. I am completely lost and bewildered, does anyone know anything that could help me? I would greatly appreciate it.

You could try dedicated hardware, LoL. The all-in-wonder video cards are always difficult to deal with... If you were to buy a tv tuner separate from your video card, you might have better luck. They are cheap, and extremely useful. Good luck.
