Blah blah you know the score by now. About the reversed audio; this is either a physical hardware error or really bizarre driver/software bork since I assure you RCA is plugged in correctly, and it happens with Optical too. Go figure. Then again it also won't even lock onto what's supposed to be CBR, so that should tell you that this is a nice product marred by a lot of bugs. Still better than nothing. p.s. lol re-encodes.
