S video does not carry sound. Sound needs to be plugged in seperately,

BUT and a big but.... why are you capturing using s video? That is not the way to do it at all.

Your camera will have a small plug cammed a firwire port, a small rectagular socket, might be labelled 'DV Out'. To capture you lug a fire wire cable from there to a firewire input on your pc, if it doesnt have one cards are only £10.

Most editors will allow capture this way, and even let you control the camera from the PC.

The captures will be much better as the inforamtion remains in digital form, no conversion loss.
