No Audio with Video
I’m going out of my VCR via S-video cable into my IO box and out of IO box into computer via firewire. My audio is going out of VCR by way of RCA to XLR into the IO box. When I view it in Final Cut Pro, I’m getting video and my audio meter is registering audio, but I’m not hearing the audio. I know there’s got to be a setting that isn’t right but I can’t seem to find it. Need a little help.

The audio is, by default, MUTED to the Mac’s speaker output during Log and Capture.
You should normally monitor the audio directly from the camcorder or deck you are using to capture.
Don’t know if the io had audio outputs that will allow you to monitor from THERE during capture.
(I know that the VHS’s audio outs are “tied up” feeding the io, but you could choose to listen on a TV set to channel 3 or 4).NOTE:
Many people have reported that noise or “pops” appear in the captured clips if the Mac audio is left on WHILE capturing… so may want to choose “Off During Capture.”However, there is a way you can turn ON the Mac’s speaker if you really WANT to:
Final Cut Pro (menu) > Audio/Video Settings… > Capture Presets (tab)
“Duplicate” the Capture Preset you are now using, when the window opens rename it (I added “MacAudioOn” to the file name).
Click open the “Advanced” button in the Audio section and turn speakers to “ON during Capture.”
The Mac speakers/audio-out will now play Audio during the preview in the Log and Capture window.
