I am new to video editing and just captured my first dv with Pinnacle 10.5.4studio plus. The good news is the video capture went fine and all the editing worked great. The bad news is there is no sound--it is like Pinnaacle is not recognizing my sound card. I attempted to add music and still no sound. I see the symbolic wave form for both the audio track from the DV capture and the added music file from the Pinnacle library, yet no sound coming out the speakers.

Any suggestions? Am I missing something?

Pentium Duo Core 2.8 GHz
2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz
256MB ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express X16 (DVI/VGA/TV out) Radeon X600 SE
160GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM)
16X DVD-ROM and 16X DVD+/-RW
SoundBlaster Advanced MB Audio
Dell AS501 Sound Bar for all UltraSharp Flat Panel Displays

Your sound woes could be solved by checking with Pinnacle as I did and you may find that your sound card needs to be ASIO 2.0 compliant. This does solve allot of the mind bending problems.

Just a quick question regarding your capture device? What are you using to get it into your computer...?
Maybe I can help you figure this one out!
