Leadtek Winfast PVR2000 rtm driver  

It works for me on Windows 7 64bit. I had to change the driver names in the inf file and rename the vista drivers to get windows to accept it. There is always the risk that it will crash in the future (i.e. there must have been a reason why the drivers were blocked in the first place); but so far so good.

I've attached a rar file with my drivers and a quick readme file if you want to make your own (for slightly different circumstances). Use at your own risk (of course)

Enjoy

Thanks for drivers :) works fine on my 7 64bit but I have no sound
I try edit record devices propertis in sound option (the same steps as I found in leadtek tips for vista) but a cant see any disabled audio device
Any idea ?

Sorry for the late reply, I am packing to move overseas. I will try to get online as much as I can to help you out.

I had a look at my system, my sound works. Check the three basic areas of failure (shown below).
I had to muck around a bit to select the correct devices to direct my sound both and and out of the PVR.

===============================================================
Check WINDOWS 7 SOUND SETTINGS

Right click on the volume icon in the win7 taskbar
First lets check the playback device without PVR.
Open 'Playback Devices' right click on the 'default device' and click test, if it works go
to the next step, if not change your default device or speakers and troubleshoot until this works.

Click on the 'Recording' tab, if PVR is on, you should see movement in the default device sound-bar. If not change this until you see movement in the default device sound-bar.
-------------------------------------------
Check PVR SOUND SETTINGS

Ensure that the same devices as selected in your Win7 sound settings are the devices in your PVR settings, or that sound is forwarded correctly through your system is alternate devices are selected.

Here's my configuration....
=MY PVR=
PLAYBACK = Speakers
RECORDING = Line In (High Def)

=MY WIN7=
Playback = SPeakers
Recording = Line in (High Def)
* Make sure on the Recording tab that you tick the 'Listen to this device' check box otherwise you won't get any audible output.

-------------------------------------------
Check Physical connections and hardware

- A fault here is unlikely given that it worked prior to installing WIn7 but....Just to be safe, if you have spare hardware, replace each cable/device one at a time (an isolation test) to verify that there is no fault here.

Good Luck

Tim

Now everything works perfectly :)
Problem was with realtek sound driver - Previously I used default driver from Win7 install and after replacing for realtek driver I found devices :)

Fantastic! Case Closed

Thanks ! It worked for me ! :D

Hey Tim :) I've downloaded your modified drivers for my PVR2000. They are correctly installed and are working with WinFast PVR 2, but they don't work with MediaPortal or the Windows Media Center (there sometimes, but often got an error about low bitrate) Do you know a solution? I can't get multiple tuners (I have two of the pvr2000) working. I hope you have an idea :) Anyway, your drivers are great, thought I have to buy a new tv card.

Thanks for your fast reply :)
Here is the screenshot of Mediaportal:
and of Media Center It's German, I try to translate it: Low Bitrate The capture of data through the tuner was finished. Make sure, that the driver is installed correctly and that the software drivers are up to date. Should the problem persist, reboot your computer and repeat the event.

I can't use your step by step list, because I can't install any other drivers than your, because Leadtek doesn't provide a 64-bit driver for the PVR2000. How have you got it installed?

EDIT: Damn, I have no sound in WinFast PVR2 I have not recognized it yesterday, because I thought it would work properly
