Do you have 2 tuner cards? Your post is unclear on this. If  so, you
will need 2 sound cards each connected to a tuner card. The only way
to avoid this is if your tuner cards support btaudio in which case
they don't need to be connected to a sound card to record sound.

Lots of info/posts on this in the archive and recently.
