Guest Mike De Petris Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I installed an Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000 pci board in my AMD 3000+ XP x64 pc, all the driver and software installation goes well. Digital tv and radio channels are ok (still to try sat has I need a cable) but I have problem with analog tv and radio channels, the audio is scattered and cpu goes high in this situation. Seems to me strange that digital channels are ok, where analog gives problem, so I think I should update some driver or codec, how do you suggest to proceed? May it be an hardware fault or incompatibility? There is no audio cable, audio goes directly to the pci bus, the four tuners of this board use a new technique that digitizes all the signal then digitally filters channels. Thanks for an help about steps to follow to try to fix it.
Guest Tony Sperling Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000 XP x64 analog audio problem I think your problem is that you need an audio cable to take care of the analog support - and most likely, you will find options somewhere that needs to be setup correctly as well, or you'll have both channels playing at once where one of them has a short delay. I don't have the Hauppauge myself, so cannot help with the specifics. I have a ComPro DVB T300 that I never got working in 64bit, but it does exactly the same on a different machine. Tony. . .

I tryed a lot of things being not able to fix the analog audio problem, maybe it's due to my integrated audio chipset and the motherboard not being fast enough to decode pci audio. I tested the board on another (XP 32 bit) PC and all works well, so I will try with a pci audio board, if I find one. Btw installing and reinstalling I am no more able to use the digital tuners that are not seen by the Cyberlink Powercinema software, I already used few time the hauppauge tool to remove driver and software files to reinstall it cleanly withous success, all goes well but only digital tuners are seen, even wintv can tune analog channels only. What could I use to reset those devices? I see no error during installation, so what?
Guest Bobby Johnson Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Re: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000 XP x64 analog audio problem The most logical approach is to contact Hauppauge for assistance with their hardware and software. If you needed troubleshooting and repair on your Mercedes Benz, you wouldn't take it to an Opal or VW dealer! The same logic applies to computers. If you have problems with third party hardware and/or software you don't expect Microsoft to fix the problem! You go to the respective vendor/manufacturer.

Guest Bobby Johnson Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Re: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000 XP x64 analog audio problem I don't think there is any such action internal to Windows. I have had to obtain utilities from the vendor/manufacturer on previous occasions to do a "deep clean" of an installation.

Guest Tony Sperling Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Re: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000 XP x64 analog audio problem More often than not - to perform a 'full' un-install procedure, you'd have to uninstall the software part(s) using the same procedure you used to install. This means that you should preferably use the products own uninstaller (if it exists) or (if you must) the Add/Remove Software applet in Control Panel. After that you find the hardware in Device Manager and delete it there. Now you power down and remove the hardware and restart and disbale the entry from your BIOS if that applies or makes sense. I recommend that you reboot after every single step from now on!!! Now, you must manually clean up all the leftovers from the uninstaller. These are folders most likely in Program Files or in your Documents folder tree - sometimes there are *.DLL's left all over the place in the system directories and much of the time it isn't even possible to identify all the pieces. When you are satisfied, you power down and re-install the hardware and let Windows detect it and set up the basic system. Re-boot and Prepare to install the device support from the begining. On grounds of existing old installation leftovers, I recomend to NOT use the default installation folder when you re-install. Browse to somewhere else and create your own folder (on a different partition if you have one?) to re-install anything of that sort of troublemakers. This will also circumvent possible troubles emanating from most instances of leftover Registry keys from the old installation. Tony. . .

This night I had another thought btw, I remember that booting in "safe mode" let me see various devices entry in the device manager that are not showing after a normal boot. Could it be a good idea to remove all this "dead installed" device entries in safe mode too?
Guest Mike De Petris Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Re: Hauppauge WinTV HVR-4000 XP x64 analog audio problem I booted from xp x64 cd and reapired my installation, all is back to normal now, btw the starting problem is still there, analog audio is bad. For what the OS is concerned I think I have anything more to try, following step will be: - find an audio board to put into my pc to check if could be the integrated audio giving the problem - find a way to analyze wich codecs come into play and how to change it if possible, using differend decoding flow - upgrade my pc to something more performant -__- thank you for your support
