Boy, this card seems to be nothing but problems in getting it to work right. I finally got it able to record video, and now I'm having sound problems. The line in works fine and sounds great when I'm watching on the screen...but when I record something, during the movie playback the sound is all warbled sort of and distorted. I have the latest drivers for my sound card, which I know is a bit dated, but the line in works for recording wavs, etc. just fine. My other drives are current as far as I know for the other things as well. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!

My guess is that your computer (or sound card) isn't powerful enough to process the sound and the video together. You can try upgrading your processor and/or sound card and see if it makes a difference. For your motherboard you can get one of the K6-2+ processors which are FAR more powerful than the regular K6-2's. I recently saw them onsale at www.softwareandstuff.com for $40. Checkout www.fic.com.tw because you'll need a certain BIOS and it is not officially supported by FIC.
As for the sound card, I truly have no idea if a newer one would help.
 
I also have sound recording problems

I also have sound recording problems

I have a amd duron 1.6 ghz processor with 512 mb ram running windows XP and also have the same problem with sound recording. I can hear the sound fine when it comes in and can record from tv or vcr and it sounds fine coming in but when I use the file player to play the saved mpeg or avi file the sound it is garbled. I tried Aux, Line in and Mic and all produce the same result.

The Rage Fury Pro was a decent card, but it's showing it's age as is your computer. What kind of sound card are you using? If you using onboard, try a PCI sound card instead since your CPU is kind of slow by todays standards. In the end though you may have to bite the bullet and get a new computer (CPU, motherboard, video card, etc). Analog video capture needs a lot of resources and your system simply may not be adequate anymore. Additionally the driver support for your video card has ceased.

I recommend an Athlon64 and ATI All-in-Wonder R9600XT or higher.
