Ok first let me say I may be a numpty or more politely a novice. I have this wonderful canon xm2 and actually got round to installing the firewire that I needed to run the video through the pc. In running the cam, it is recognised by the pc, and plays the image but there is no accompanying sound. This is happening through every playback software I have used from moviemaker to nero media player...

Playback is fine on the cam, just not when it is run through the pc.

Can anyone tell me what may be wrong?

Have you tried recording a small amount of video, and then check if the sound is there when you playback the video?? I never get the audio when capturing, but its there on playback
