hawks5999 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Just curious. Last year I built a MCE 2004 system with an Hauppauge PVR250 but weak processor (PIII 800) and 512 PC133 SDRAM and GeForce4MX420 PCI and integrated audio. I knew it was underpowered, but I just wanted to test out the capability. TV always had audio sync issues. Live TV was always off by about .5 second and recorded TV was actually not very sync'd. I just attributed that to weak hardware.Well, I just helped a sales associate in my company set up his MCE 2005 system. He got it through an OEM System Builder event sponsored by MS and Hauppauge. His system has a PVR150MCE, AMD64 FX-5?, 512 PC3200 and GeForce 5700LE and Creative Audigy 2 NX. I would expect this system to just sing with MCE 2005. But same thing happens with TV. The audio is always off and it makes watching/recording TV pointless.Is this just normal? Or should I expect that the audio would work? Has anybody else had the same experience with MCE TV audio?

SiR_CharLZ Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I had a machine that was an 800 mhz and it totally sucked for MCE2004. Audio was off, picture skipped and froze, all kindz of issues...Upgraded to an athlon64 with 512megs ddr400 and a 200gig sata drive and all is well. I would look at the setup on the new machine and update all the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
