I have a Canon XL1-S and I am using it for live video capture into a computer using firewire. The program I am using to live capture the video is Adobe On Location. I am using a 4 channel audio mixer that I have connected to the camera's audio input. I can see the sound signal in the Camera's built in audio mixer and can hear the audio on the camera through headphones, so I know the audio input is correct. My issue is that when I stream to the computer, I am only getting the video signal and no sound.
I first thought that maybe something was wrong with the camera. So I began troubleshooting. I first tried playing a tape in VCR mode, streaming it to the computer. I get video and sound with no issues. I then turn the camera back to camera mode, hook up the on board microphone, and I get sound and video into the computer. So then I disconnect the onboard mic, and reconnect the external audio mixer and the sound from the camera goes dead, but I can hear it in the camera. I cannot understand what is causing this. I'm sure it is probably some stupid setting that I am overlooking, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. I would like to get this sound output working correctly. Does anyone have an information of suggestions I can try.
Thanks
