Hi Karel

I'll give you the same advice as before, which I may not have explained very
clearly.  The PVR-350 has 2 RCA jacks carrying audio-out.  Rather than
redirect the audio from your cable box directly into the sound card, you
should buy a Y-cable to channel the RCA audio out of the PVR-350 into the
line in of your sound card.

This will keep your sound in sync with the video.
