audio garbled
I’ve been capturing some dv through Vegas 6d. My first attempt had tons of dropped frames and garbled audio. The drive was nearly full So I switched my capture destination to an external firewire drive. No more dropped frames but the audio is still garbled. suggestions to fix?

Garbled audio on capture? Or in playback? On capture would suggest a sound card conflict or similar. During playback would suggest other issues.
If it’s clean from the camera, it *must* be clean during capture if you’re not dropping frames, as “capture” is merely a digital transfer from a linear digital storage source to a non-linear digital storage source.
Can you put the audio on the timeline and hear it clean, or “garbled?”Douglas Spotted Eagle

The audio on the timeline is also bad. “Garbled” might be the wrong word, more like “Broken”. It sounds almost as if there was a bad connection on the xlr cables, of course there were no cables cuz it’s from the built in camera mic.

It’s possible, but rare that you’d have bad audio and good frames. You might try recapturing; are your drives clean? In other words, you’re not capturing to the OS drive, not capturing to a full drive, not capturing with anti-virus enabled?

I didn’t know anti virus software can affect capture. I’ll try and disable and see what happens.
Thanks. -
In my experience, when a tape head is going out of alignment, the audio is the first to indicate this. If I get garbled audio from by deck and the video looks fine, I know it’s time to send that camera in to be fixed.
Try capturing from the camera that recorded the tape. If that works fine, I’d see about sending it in for repair.

Hi team. I’ve garbled audio even when playing from a DV cam without start capturing in Sony Vegas 6. the video is ok but audio is garbled.
I don’t have an internet connection, antivirus or others running in the background. I’m using firewire 1394 disabled as network controler (only for capture). I’ve used several tapes,cameras, software, changed motherboard sound drivers. Seems to be a problem between dv device and computer and in the capture window under the audio tab my sound device is not black, is grey like not available or something like that I don’t know what to do Please Help. Regards in advance . Oscar
