Console Gaming Series: Series 2 Twilight Princess recording fail

Hey guys, I've had a sudden moment of extreme frustration,

One of myself and Liam's best recordings failed (Zelda: Twilight Princess) when I went to edit the recordings into episodes. While the video recording was fine, the audio had screwed up hugely. Instead of what we actually recorded there was static sound. I think it's something to do with my setup because it's happened before. I have the microphone (Samson Meteor Mic) plugged into a Doctor Who TARDIS USB hub, and that is plugged into the computer. I did some google searching and found this forum discussion (http://forum.ventrilo.com/showthread.php?t=30410) and the person has the same problem I do. So based on what they've said it's a sound card problem and replacing it fixed the issue. I have no clue as to what a sound card is, but I guess it's the thing that puts the sound into your computer. While the audio for Twilight Princess screwed up, the audio recordings for the other games we did were fine. So the problem is not constant, but happens occasionally.

So next time we record I will take precautions such as using devices not plugged into the computer to do the audio recordings. I'm very upset, but writing this post has calmed me down. Anyway, there will be videos from the new Console Gaming Series coming so buckle your belts up for a bumpy car fun time!
