One possible problem is a feedback loop.  If you are using a mixer and have audio from both the computer and the analog source feeding the camera, the 2 will sometimes cancel each other out.  The solution here is to turn off or disconnect the computer's audio.

Good Luck.

MediaGuy4:

I just upgraded from 5.2.4 to 5.6.2

When I attempt to capture analog video, looping through a JVC BR-DV3000U MiniDV VTR, I get video, but no audio through the 1394 connection.  When I capture directly from a MiniDV tape I have no problems, audio from the VTR through the firewire 1394 works fine.

Before upgrading, this setup of capturing analog video through a lopping setup worked fine.

Any suggestions?  No Mojo involved. 

I went from 5.2.4 to 5.6.1 and now have the exact problem with a DSR-45 (video no audio).  My solution is to simultaneously record to a tape as I go thru the deck and out via firewire and capture in Avid.  I reuse this tape over and over.  At least this way, I get audio, and I don't have to capture to tape first and then capture to Avid again.

If you find a solution to this please post back.

I am having the exact same problem with my DSR-11... it's a real pain in the ... neck.

Come on AVID.. sort it out!!

(Maybe it's a conspiracy to make us go over to FCP ?)

This has been an ongoing problem first reported here in September of last year.  Supposedly, a fix is in the works.  We can only hope and wait.
