No audio output when printing to DV tape

I am in audio hell. Whenever I print to tape from either the regular or capture program I get no audio at all. I am using three Panasonic AJ-D230h decks, I have swapped out mu firewire cards (generic cards) and used a couple of Osprey 500 cards. I have even used a sony firewire to svhs v/a convertor and still no audio. I can capture video and audio perfectly, I can play V/A inside VV3 but I can't get the audio back to tape. It is there when I render to MPEG or AVI files. I am about to throw this system out of the windows. Please Help!!!!!!!

This is probably a stupid question, but have you checked to make sure you have audio in the file you're trying to print to tape?

Yea, there is audio. I can see it in the time line and I can hear it when I play it. It just refuses to transfer to tape

If you do not render a new Avi DV file to play via VidCap program, then you must be trying to print-to-DVtape inside Vegas. Yes/no? If yes, does the system cue up and render segments and the wave64 file, leader, bars, plays project - no audio ? Might try prefs/audio/ playback buffer. Forget timeline printing right now.
You should make a short test project and render as a new avi file. Close Vegas and load VidCap.exe (Use run in the windows start menu, browse, SonicFoundry/Show all files.
Load rendered test avi (mix of rendering and file transfers) in Print-to-tape area of VidCap. Preview on device tab, (cam/D-A Box). Adjustments for printing in prefs.
Could be the 1394 cards you have, what OS are you running ?
Hang in there:

I assume you know that an s-video cable doesn't carry audio, and that you'll need to conenction to the red/white audio-out jacks on the Sony D/A box in order to get audio?

If you play a tape recorded in the camera from the camera, you get audio? But if you print to tape, or use VidCap to write the DV to tape, when you play that tape, you get no audio?

What is your Vegas audio configuration? Do you have the default, Vegas set up with just the one master bus, or have you added auxilery busses that your audio routes through? Because I think just the master bus renders (since Vegas does not know what external hardware the auxes route through).
