TV card software?

[Amichai Rotman]

Hi Vincent,

Could you provide us with the relevant lspci listing for your card, so we
can get more info regarding the chipset on the card?

The sound issue could be related to the sound server you are using. Try
changing the sound server to aRTs, somewhere under the preferences menu (I
am not by my Edgy Box right now - so I can't tell you exactly where).

Good Luck!
