I had trouble with sound also. Which card are you using? (72 or 70 or 37)
can you get any other audio sounds out of your computer?
If you plug your speakers into the tv card instead of the computer do you
gget any sound?
If you get regular audio through your computer and sound out of the back of
the capture card you have to play with alsa mixer to get it to work. Make
sure your linein or mic line is not muted and volume is up. (also set the
capture using space bar to the correct input)
If that still doesn't work I have a hacked bttvcards file that will fixed
it for
me.
