You are wanting to render to mpeg2 not mpeg4. when you capture the file does it show up as .avi? Are you saying that when you play it with say media player you get no sound? The audio is interleaved. I don't think the sound card settings have anything to do with a firewire transfer but I could be wrong. I say that because the signal wouldn't go through the card. I also don't think it's a global setting like you were talking about through the control panel. I'm at a loss. If I had to guess, I would say its a setting in the capturing program you are using.
Did you have an external mic on the camera, such as a shotgun, that plugs into an external mic plug?I have had a Rode shotgun give me a flatline wav file.Besides that, I can't help you Ethan. Good luck.
I borrowed a Canon ZR800 camcorder and connected it to my firewire PCI card. The video transfers great but I get no audio. I've tried 3 different apps to capture (VirtualDub, Nero Vision and Microsoft Movie).

Try using WinDV - http://windv.mourek.cz (free) or Scenalyzer http://www.scenalyzer.com (free trial) to transfer your DV footage from your miniDV cam to your computer. Your sound card is not used during the transfer process when capturing DV-AVI files.Once you've finished transferring your footage, you will have a large (13 gigabytes per hour) .AVI file. You can play it using Windows Media Player or any video editing software (Vegas Video, FCP, Premiere, Windows Movie Maker). VirtualDub has issues opening an playing DV-AVI files. There are ways around it though.
Thanks for the info winDV was my next try. I've used tmpGENnc to transcode video in the past. Any idea if it will support transcoding DV-AVI's?
