Microsoft Digital Video May Lose IEEE 1394 Device Audio (243174)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
This article was previously published under Q243174 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Digital Video Splitter may pass faulty audio samples from some IEEE 1394 (High Performance Serial Bus, or "FireWire") devices instead of duplicating the last good audio sample. As a result, Microsoft DirectShow clients in general, and DVD playback programs in specific, may experience audio dropout or a loss of audio rendering.
CAUSE
Microsoft Digital Video may not reset a IEEE 1394 device's Plug Control Register (PCR) to its default state. Some IEEE 1394 devices may not be able to handle this because they cannot program the PCR.
