I am a new user to the Windows Media product. I purchased a new HP
multimedia machine and hooked everything up, but I have 2 sound related
issues...
The first is that when I am just watching a channel, any channel, the sound
is about 2 seconds quicker then the video. The second is that when I record
a show, I get no sound. I'm not sure why this would work this way?

Any Ideas?

What is you TV source? Cable? Satellite? via a Set Top Box? How is your PC
hooked up soundwise?

One reason for the symptoms that you describe is that you do not have your
equipment connected correctly. For example if you have a STB & have not hooked
up the sound to the PC but have the audio hooked up direct to your HiFi. Other
misconfigurations are possible.

Here are my answers to your questions....Thanks for your initial response

What is you TV source? Cable? Satellite? via a Set Top Box?

Cable...I have a Digital Video Recorder STB
How is your PC hooked up soundwise?

I connected the RCA jacks (Right and Left) Audio "1" to a Y cable into the
back of my sound card (Audio IN) on my PC. I connected my PC Audio Out "Y"
cable and connected Right and Left to my Stereo receiver.

I connected the video using S-Video Cable from STB to the PC and S-Video
from the PC to the TV.

I am running Vista Home Premium

Your S-video is good, but you need to run the two RCA audio cables (RED and
White) form your cable box to the back of the TV tuner, not to the sound
card.

Hi Jim
This is what’s happening the audio has to go into the TV tuner in the PC,
without that you will have no sound on any TV recordings.
The sound you are hearing on live TV is not buffered by the TV tuner (about
a 2 second buffer), so that why the sound is of by about 2 seconds. .
