An easy workaround is to put the following in ~/.asoundrc (create the
file if needed):

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}

All it does is set the default ALSA device to card 1 instead of card 0.
Of course, this assumes that your sound card was properly detected in
addition to the tv card...
