Step 8 - (Optional) Simple troubleshooting

If you are having problems with scanning for channels (as described earlier in this guide) or you are having sound/picture sync issues or that you are hearing sound but have no picture/garbled picture then please try the following suggestions:

Firstly we recommend you update the drivers for your sound card and graphics card to the latest versions available on their respective manufacturers websites. If you do not know what these are, in XP simply click Start then Run and type in dxdiag into the box and click ok:

You may be asked if you would like to check if your drivers are Digitally Signed by Microsoft, click no to continue and you will then be shown the DirectX Diagnostic tool. Click on the Display tab at the top:

On the left you will be shown the Device Name and Manufacturer on the left which will aid you in searching for drivers for that device, on the right you will also be show the Driver Date, if this is any older than a couple of months we recommend searching for the latest drivers.

Repeat this step with the Sound tab at the top to find the details of your sound card (there may be multiple sound tabs, your main sound card is usually the first of these).

IMPORTANT! If you have a laptop you will not need to go to the individual manufacturers websites for the latest software, instead go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop and search their downloads section for your laptop, updated drivers and software are typically available for it there.

Secondly once you have updated the software for your sound and graphics cards, you can try changing the way in which we use your graphics card (this often helps with older or low spec graphics cards but can be required on newer machines also). To do this first close the WinTV application then click on Start then All Programs then Hauppauge WinTV and then Primary:

Within this application there are 4 main options to try 'Allow VMR', 'Allow Overlay', 'Force Primary' and 'DIB Draw'. One of these options will currently be selected, to try a different one simply select it from the list, close the Primary application then start up WinTV again to see if this makes a difference (Note if you are having scanning problems try and scan again each time you choose a different option within primary).

If you are still having problems please contact Technical Support.
