My distro Fedora Core 5
Using Gnome 2.14.1.1 desktop
Nvidia Gforce 4mx 4000 graphics card (if it matters)
Running TVTime 1.0.1-3.2.i388
NTSC cable USA
Tv card is a Pinnacle PCTV based on Conexant Fussion 878a chip
sound card is a Sound Blaster Live
using alsa-lib 1.0.11-3.rc2.2.i386
I have included as much info as I could. Ant help to resolve this problem would be very appriciated.
I have read the man and info pages, but couldn't find it useful to resolve this problem.
The problem is with the sound. On startup the picture comes in great. The sound comes in as fuzzy kinda static with out any reconizeable audio. The audio is hooked up with an external cable to my line in on my sound card. Mixer volumes are all the way up. The odd thing is that if I goto channel managment and fine to aroung +10-12 I get poor audio quallity, and terrible picture quallity. Then I change the channel, and go back to the channel, Tvtime does not pick up a signal till i reset the fine tune to 0. Is there some kind of offset for audio tunning vs. video tunning. Or is there some other way to get the audio to work.

Pctv Sound Cards Online
- Drivers for MCE and pinnacle cards that work. Not sure if anyone is aware of this. But I was having issues with my pinnacle 801e usb card and windows 7. Tearing and skipping, I stumbled upon this page. Pinnacle PCTV drivers and downloaded the MCE driver for my card, much to my surprise it works flawlessly and also you can change the.
- PCTV HD Stick is an ultra-compact USB 2.0 powered TV tuner in an attractive stick form factor that brings the brilliant sharpness of digital HDTV to your PC. This new generation of PCTV HD Stick supports free digital HD and SD TV over-the-air (ATSC) and now also via cable (ClearQAM).

High-end sound cards provide as high as 24-bit or even 32-bit audio with a sampling rate as high as 192-kHz or 384-kHz in the latest sound cards. These specifications roughly define the audio quality of the sound card, although there are other factors included such as gold-plated connectors, Electromagnetic-Interference shielding, etc.
