Does sound work when you watch tv on the computers monitor? A little<br>
more information would be helpful. Do you have optical out for sound<br>
on the video card. Also some video card ship with a dongle to make an<br>
external connection to the sound card. However that doesn't work in<br>
all cases. Which tv tuner software are you using I've had success<br>
without using a dongle by piping a tvtime signal through arecord by<br>
addressing the hardware directly.<br>
<br>
Here's an example to fool around with.<br>
<br>
tvtime | arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 32000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay<br>
<br>
If you are using jack you might have to address the hardware<br>
differently as, in -plugD or somthing like that. I dont' use jack<br>
currently but I have been reading about it as Alsa and OSS seem to be<br>
on their way out in favor of Pulse and Jack.<br>
<br>
