Hi there! I'm totaly new to ubuntu, just istalled it because a friend 
told me this distro really rocks and I'm searching for the ideal OS to 
work with both, my G3 powerbook and my HP Pavillion Home PC.
So I really like what I got installed on the Pavillion, it's by far the 
best distro I saw up to the moment, lot's of things work out of the 
box...wow

But I gut a problem with the tv card. I tried to insall tvtime, I get 
video (that's much more with this app than I got with sarge) but I get 
no sound. Xawtv the same thing (So this app worked under Sarge, but the 
video output from ubuntu is better) no sound.
I tried to disable esound, no change, didn't work. tvtime says it can't 
open /dev/mixer. xawtv doesn't complain at all, they just do no sound.

I found on google an article from a lucky person who had xawtv with 
sound support running out of the box, but he had the problem that his 
other sounds didn't work anymore, because the tvcard also loads as 
soundcard and the tvcard got loaded first in /etc/modules. So he flipped 
the to drivers and now both is working.

I had I look in /etc/modules, but it doesn't seem to load a tvcard sound 
at all, there are just a view entries. Has someone got suggestions what 
I can do to get these Apps running?

Thanks a lot,

Rainer
