Question / Help Old Capture Card - No Audio Until Input Change

I'm using an old Hauppage WinTV 885 to capture SD gameplay footage, and it's working as well as you'd expect for SD. Except for the audio.

I'm not sure why, but it doesn't capture audio unless I open the crossbar, change the card's input, and then change it back. After that, audio works fine for the rest of the stream. After I stop the preview or stream and start it again, I need to flip the input again.

I've uploaded a video to YouTube demonstrating this in action. http://youtu.be/VUtg4FmZbhw Also, here is the relevant OBS log. I didn't see anything in it, but I'm new to streaming so I might be missing something.

Anyways, I'd like to know if this is a bug in OBS, a configuration problem, or is it just something I'll have to live with?

Thank you.

I should add that VLC has the same problem. VLC also has video issues, making me think it's just VLC being bad. Windows Media Center works great with the card.

Unfortunately I have no idea why this would be the case -- sometimes people have reported that those "configure" button settings don't stick, but I've unfortunately never been able to replicate on my system. One thing I will say though is I hate directshow with a passion.
