Dear Greg, I'm trying to use my PAR to record sound and video at the same time from a VTR source, in Windows 3.1. The sound card seems to work fine with the WAV editor. I can record and play the sound no problem. But when I try to record with the PAR recorder, it records video but no audio, and says "Cannot open audio device" or something like that. (Sorry no exact message but my machine is in the middle of a 3DS thing right now.) Can you point me in the right direction for solving this problem? I have NT but it gave me trouble when I tried to configure my sound card, so I went back to regular Windows. If there's anyone in the Massachusetts area that wants to make a few bucks by coming down and helping me set this up, please jump in. I have a lot of stuff I've bought in the last few weeks and these configuration nightmares are driving me nuts. Michele

Hi Michele, PMJI, but are you sure you have the path for the sound set to go to a local drive and not the PAR? That kind of sounds like the error you'd get if you were trying to do that. Other than that I can't think why it wouldn't work. Let me know what you do to get it working. DM

Michele: Hi there! Spending money on hardware, I see! Is this Bucket Studios? >> I'm trying to use my PAR to record sound and video at the same >> time from a VTR source, in Windows 3.1. Good for you! I assume that you mean toe PAR records the video and your Windoze soundcard records the audio to your C: hard disk? :^) >> But when I try to record with the PAR recorder, it records video >> but no audio, and says "Cannot open audio device" or something like >> that. (Sorry no exact message but my machine is in the middle of >> a 3DS thing right now.) Hmmm, just what I like, a reproducible problem! :^) Where are you saving your files? Try it again, and if it still fails, write down the _exact_ message for me! Greg Pyros
