I also only use the card for digital.

I know this card is software encoding and i believe there is a sound
cable that needs to run from your capture card to the sound card.
Then sound is acquired via line in on your MB.

If you want to do analog I would suggest buying a PVR-150.  You will
have much higher quality video and no load on the CPU plus REALLY
simple installation.  you cannot buy them from stores anymore as they
have been discontinued (Hauppauge got crap from the FCC) buy you
should be able to get one cheap on e-bay.
