yeah everything I have tested seems to point to how it was recorded, my research says FCP used to (possibly still does) have issues playing back 12bit audio over Firewire,
however I believe the HDX-900 natively records at 16bit ( I am not a camera guy) any other ideas?

Thanks

Thanks Jerry,
I checked all of that, it is a problem a team in the field is having, and like I said they have tried multiple laptops / Decks / Cables / Cameras, you name it they tried it swapping it out.
I tried it back in the studio and recieved the same results with a Tower and a laptop, again different decks cables etc…
my only thought is it has something to do with how the audio is being recorded.

any other ideas?

Thanks

Your best bet is to pick up a DV Deck and hook it up to the computer Via Firewire and then to the TV via RCA / S-video / Composite
or monitor through your camera, again hook your camera up via firewire to the computer and then use RCA/S-video (or whatever may be on your camera) to hook up to the TV
