I think you are suffering rom a terminology problem, not a technical problem.
The tuner that a "tuner number" identifies is the component of a vidcap
card that changes channels. If you are getting "great video", you no doubt
have the correct tuner type specified.
I surmise from what you say about audio that you are trying to use btaudio
for sound. Whether this works with your card I do not know, but I do know
that as a general matter btaudio only works with a small subset of bttv
cards. If your card is delivering sound out its external jack ( as you seem
to say it is), your best bet is to jumper that output to your sound card's
line-in jack and use the standard audio device for the audio portion of
your capture.
Now I may have some of this wrong, because I'm guessing a lot about what
you mean. If I've misunderstood, my misunderstandings should at least help
you post a more descriptive trouble report.
