ATI TV wonder - Recording Video/Sound Issue

[Brad]

Specs:
Win XP
ATI TV Wonder (PCI)
ATI radeon 9700 pro
512 meg of memory
ati 7.9 media center

I have had and been running this setup for a while and I
could watch tv and everything with no problem, but when I
tried to record tv, the sound was low and crackly.

I just reloaded my machine and got updated
drivers/software for ati products. ATI media center 8.9
(I think it was)

and when I ran this new setup I could not watch tv, the
sound was either real low and scratch or if I changed
input on sound tool bar - volume was fine but it was out
of sink with the video by a couple seconds.

So I reloaded my machine again - went back to old drivers
and tried just media center 8.9 and that is what is
causing the problem.

When I run the compatibility check or whatever it is
called. It says that I must have direct x 9.0 or greater
installed (for both 7.9 and 8.9 media center) and I do
have that (installed that before I installed any ATI
drivers or software) and it still does not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you need more info please let me know.
