I am not getting sound when I watch TV. When I increase the volume on line-out, I get sound, but it is about 2 seconds ahead of the picture. The sound seems to be live and not after the capture.

I have a Hauppauge WinTV PCI TV Tuner Card. I think it is a model 401. It has 610000-08 © 1998 on the card.

I have a Sound Blaster 128 which gets recognized as a ENS1370.

I have an ATI All-in-wonder Rage 128 as my Video card (I’ve given up on trying to use it for capture.

I have connected the Line-Out from the WinTV card to the Line-In on the Sound Blaster. I have also tried using the internal CD audio connector.

The audio capture is /dev/dsp
What device should be used to play the after capture sound?
How would I set it.

Thank you for any help.

I am getting somewhere. I figured out how to use alsamixer! In my configuration Line-Out on the WinTV card is connected to Line-In on the Sound Blaster.

I set the Master volumn to 71, Line-In to 71, and PCM to 71. I used the m key to mute or un-mute as needed. The space key to select Line-In as Capture.

The problem that I have now is that I hear both pre-capture and capture. If I try to mute line-in, I loose sound. If I lower the sound of Line-in to about 24 and raise PCM to 100, its not too bad.

I'm still looking for a solution.

Thank you,

Newton

well sounds like you are in the right place, and you should be able to mute the linein as long as it is still set as the capture device, but I have heard many people having problems with the soundblaster 128 cards.

"alsamixer" is the answer. "alsactl store" is also necessary. I then modified the /etc/init.d/Sound script. I commented out the line that set the volumn. I substituted it with "alsactl restore". KnoppMyth did not instal the alsa-util package. I downloaded the source, extracted it, ran "configure", and run "make". I then copied alsactl to the /usr/bin directory.

I set the master volumn to about 70. I set the PCM volumn to about 0. Set line-in to about 70, selected capture with the space bar, and set mute.

amixer is also part of the alsa-util package. It can be used to set up the sound card as well. But I decided that alsactl was easier.

There is a mistake on the second paragraph. I set the PCM volumn to about 70 not 0. Sorry.
