Premiere CC HDV audio buzz

[RobPanico]

So I've been capturing a large batch of miniDV tapes using my old Canon HV20 as the deck, connected to my old tower via firewire 800.

Capturing DV tapes works great, no issues. However, as soon as I switch the capture settings to HDV, there is this horrible buzzing sound that occurs. I've attempted to swap back and forth from DV to HDV and the sound remains, soemtimes quiet, sometimes piercingly loud. I attempted to capture regardless and while the video managed to capture, zero audio appears in the file.

Funny enough, when I switch to DV, I can hear the audio just fine, but a big black screen plays for the video.

Any ideas to what is going on here? I've attempted using multiple firewire cables, cleaning the heads/ports and still the same results. I just want to finish digitizing all of these tapes and this one bug is a giant obstacle in my way. Thanks.

Hi @RobPanico 

Since your question is about Premiere, I have moved this from the Using the Community forum (for questions about the forums) where you posted.

I captured several tapes only a few weeks ago with a HV20 but I have firewire 400 and no issues.

Are your tapes DV or HDV?

[RobPanico]

They are both. The DV tapes captured just fine, but the HDV tapes cannot capture because when I set the capture mode to HDV, audio is buzzing even without playing back the tape.

Are there any cordless devices near the HV20 or its cables?

You might be getting feedback.

Also try different cables.

[RobPanico]

I've attempted different cables and there are no wireless devices nearby, I've even powered off the wifi reciver in my Mac tower, still there is a buzzing when setting the capture mode ot HDV.

Are you using the HV20 on battery power or are you using the adapter?

If using the adapter, try using battery power and unplug the adapter from the outlet and camera.

[RobPanico]

Still the same result, the buzzing is consistent even while idle and not capturing. Only happens with I switch to HDV capture settings. DV audio is just fine.

Try using this

HDVSplit 0.77 beta

Is the audio hardware input in the Preferences set to none.

Did you try settings DV/HDV device control Options in the capture window?
