No Sound using xawtv and/or tvtime

[Seth M.]

Speak of the devil. I just fixed a similar problem on my box. Futzed
around with all sort of alsa mixer settings and checked all the modules
and stuff, when it turns out the problem was with one checkbox in my
case. Right-click the volume mixer applet in Gnome, open up Volume
Control and go to the Switches tab for the main audio device. If
"Line-In As Surround" is checked, uncheck it and make sure that Line-In
isnt muted. Also be sure that the sound output from the tuner is
connected to the Line-In jack. I dont know how it was enabled but
apparently it was for me. Unchecked the box and Im back in business
after a month of ignoring it and hoping it would fix itself.

YMMV
