Canopus ADVC-100 question/problem

[Helios]

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message -->Hi.
I don't know where this question would fit in on this forum, so I am
asking here.
I have owned the ADVC-100 for some time now and have captured a lot of
video. It works great for video capturing.
Now I have been asked to record a one day seminar, audio only.
I would like to use the ADVC-100 and my laptop computer to do the audio
capturing. I have the Sound Forge 9 software for audio recording and editing.
But I have not been able to capture audio only with the ADVC-100. Now, I
know you must have a video signal for the ADVC to start digitizing. And I am using an old camcorder to provide the video signal. But the Sound Forge software does not see the sound stream from the ADVC. Is there software that would allow capturing only audio from the ADVC through firewire?
This problem is driving me nuts. It should be so easy!
I am working in Windows XP home.

All help appreciated.

why not just use a good microphone and your laptop, record as mp3 and burn audio cd's

It should be so easy!

it is very easy

Well, I wish it was that easy. They are going to use several microphones that
will be connected to a PA system through a mixer. I need to take the line-out
from the mixer to get all the mics. Unfourtunatly, my laptop does not have line -in. It wasn't important at the time I bought it. So I need to use an alternate
means of getting the signal in.

well that capture would have been low quality anyway, some use mic instead of line in?
