P4 3.6ghz
Windows XP Media Center Edition
AverMedia AverTV MPEG Video Capture

I'm trying to encode some old video tapes from my vcr to my computer. I have
a coax cable from the line OUT of the vcr to the line IN of the tv card. I
also have a red/white rca audio connection from the OUT of the vcr to the IN
of the tv card. I start Windows Movie Maker and get video only, no audio. I
tried all the audio configurations (microphone, wave/mp3.. etc.) and still
get no audio at all. Suggestions?

The AverMedia card should have an audio output. There should have been about
a 6" cable with the card. You plug the cable the output from the card (the
jack closest to the coax), and into the line in on the audio of the PC
(usually blue), then set the sound to record from the Line In.

OK all I see on the tv card is FM, coax, svideo and the red/white audio in
ports. I don't see an audio output.

Oh - you have the FM model. It's different than mine. Try putting the audio
out of the VCR to the line in of the PC rather than the card. That's just a
guess, since I don't have that card to try it with.

The coax should carry both audio and video.

then why would you have rca in?

use the coax or the 3 rca inputs, not both together.

The card I have does not interface internally to the PC sound card. It has a
stereo 1/8" phone jack for audio in, and one for audio out. The audio out
always goes to the PC line in. If I use coax, I don't use the audio in on
the TV card. But if I use composite (yellow RCA) from an analog source, I do
use the audio in. It probably does that so it encodes the sound with the
video when recording, but the playback sound still goes through the audio
out into the PC. So as I think about it, putting the audio from the VCR
direct to the PC line in might not allow the audio to be encoded with the
video. Hmmmm....time to Google <g>

You don't use both, either coax or rca (this is the problem)...the vcr is
analogue out anyways.
My PVR uses a line in for audio to the PVR card, if you didnt, you would
have audio sync issues, as the card has about a sec lag...

True. With the card the OP has, I'd suggest he switch to using the composite
input and RCA audio instead of the coax anyway - probably better signal
quality.
