[mythtv-users] Audio isn't working in MythTv, but it is in TvTime

I believe my tv card may not do audio encoding, but I do have a cable from
my tv card to the line in of my audio card. Again, I've tested my
configuration using TvTime and that both video and sound work fine. I'm
using the saa7134 driver, with options set to card=65 and tuner=54
My sound card is an onboard Nvidia CK804 with the Realtek ALC850 rev 0
chipset (according to the headings in ALSA Mixer). It's integrated with the
Abit KN8 Ultra motherboard I'm using. I am using the line out to desktop
speakers.
When I run "dmesg | grep saa7134" I get:
"saa7134 IR (V-Stream Studio TV as /class/input/input4"
I'm not sure what more to say, other than I'm new to Linux and I appreciate
your patience. : )

First, most (all?) cards that don't do hardware encoding require you to feed
the audio output from the card to the audio input of your sound card. A
quick
Google suggests that your card probably doesn't do hardware encoding, but
I'm
not 100% sure of that. Thus, the first thing to check is that your audio
input/output cabling is correct.
If so, then you'll need to start checking your mixer settings. This can be
tricky sometimes. One page that's likely to help a lot is:
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-7.html
If you've got digital audio out (for 5.1-channel sound through a receiver),
you might also want to read:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound
If these sources don't help, try posting back with more details. Most
importantly, report details of your physical connections (between the tuner
card and the sound card and from the sound card to your TV, receiver, or
speakers) and the type of sound card you're using and its Linux drivers.
