DS Capture audio problem?

So I tryed a # of things and I don't know why the audio for the game randomly drops down when recording sometimes its normal and doesnt happen and other times its going normal to low back to normal
I am using the program Loopy made to record video and sound not FRAPs or anything else
I been Fearing if it maybe the audio jack in the DS itself....
While I have one more test I like to do before freaking out *I need my friends DS to do it* I like start this topic if anyone may know why if its unrelated to the jack/ds
(Incase want know last test I'm thinking doing its basicly just record audio from friends DS and not the Mod DS while recording video from Mod DS and see if its same or not)

You can try to use earphones for the DS (during a gaming session or when recording without recording the sound of the DS). Does it still swap?
Maybe your audio cable is not very good/ broken. You could try it with another one.

Does your cable actually plug in all the way into the DS audio jack?
I have to plug in my volume controller to the DS and my audio cable into that volume controller. It's the only thing tiny enough to fit under that ridge.

Ok so I did some tests with audio coming from another DS while recording and still happens
I also tryed it with fraps and still had it so this is vary odd....
Yes it does plug in all the way I used it when I use to us a webcam and the sound was fine then

(This one is with the DS recording as can hear at start the battle music and yell are messed up then it go normal and at some point mess up again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZrw9hwl2KY 8:20 your hear another spot where drops in about 5 secs)
I only ever used it for my LP of Oz so it would seem vary odd that it was broken but to note the recording of the above was done on my Old pc with a web cam no on this PC that am using the DS recording program on
A guy on youtube who I asked about it said a program could be messing with it but I close everthing but the Recording program so I wouldn't know what it is
I'll see about trying a new cable would you want recommend one you know that works form like radio shack or walmart? *mines from Radio Shack btw)
I got some bills and such got get done so when I get some time again am going pull out my old pc and see if the cable has problem with my webcam set up
If anyone has any other ideas until then I love hear them thanks

Ok finally got some free time damn been busy x.x
So I tryed out the way I did My OZ Lp with my Cam and the sound works fine that way video is just me holding the DS playing it as was no real point needing it lined up with the screen when only testing the sound
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4K8iPJ-OhI (May want turn sound down abit its abit loud) but the sound doesn't screw up so my cable is fine with my Cam so unless the program doesn't like the brand I don't know on + side at least this also shows its not the DS plug but still leaves the unknown Q: why is it not working with the program?

Have you tried recording sound both with and without the filter?

I don't know what a filter looks like if got maybe link to radio shack or walmart one I'll check it out
In other things I find it odd that the sound is screwed up no matter the program not just the DS software *my cam software on my old pc the ds stuff is installed on my windows 7* so that got me thinking "whys it sound fine on the XP then?"
checking the sound properites shows that on my windows 7 it uses "Conexant Smartaudio hd" my XP has "realtek" so I went look up about this Conexant thing and find that # of topics related to quality such as this topic
http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Audio-Soun ... d-p/277867
On the drivers tab of the sounds properites the update driver is grayed out so don't know if that means there up to date or not and no luck finding any site related to the drivers anyone got any ideas?
