I just got Power Director 3.0 USB and when I capture VHS, the picture is GREAT but there is no audio. The "Audio" button is greyed out after the "Capture" screen fully loads. This is a USB and so there is no direct input to my audio card.

The issue seems to be in the program and not physical since even when I unplug the capture unit. the "audio" button is still greyed out.

I am using a Vidio Capture unit from Turtle Beach since it is the only one which says it will capture Closed Caption, which I really need.

I have used Power Director with another USB unit (Xpert Video Maker) and their unit has a separate audio plug which goes right to the sound card and works find but the best picture I get with it is poor quality so I'm stuck with the Turtle Beach unit.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Don't use the software myself, but have you tried hooking your audio to teh soundcard on your mobo. Perhaps there is a set up option in Power Director to use that.

Good luck
