Nothing should have changed on the recording side at all. Does changing back to using the PVR-350 for output fix it again? That would be really strange... Are you sure it's not a cable thing?, maybe the audio-in cable on the PVR came loose?
<br><br>As far as playback, though, when you use XV, you should no longer need that loopback audio cable (and you should use the volume control on the PCM device instead of the PVR-350 device).<br><br> - Jeff<br></div></div>
