On a previous TV tuner I did need a line from tuner audio-out to sound audio line-in so I know what you are talking about. But none was provided with the Hauppauge tuner kit; PCIe is not supposed to require one (as I understand it) and my WindowsXP setup works fine without one. > Anyway can you send the output from the following before you > modprobe the tuner module. > > lspci -vn > lsmod (the whole lsmod please) The output is attached below. > > To autoload the tuner module at bootup, and as Fedora does not have > an /etc/modules file (as debian has), try putting the line below > in /etc/rc.d/rc.local > > modprobe tuner Of course. I got so carried away with trying to modify /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist I forgot the obvious. > > Not sure on the sound problem as I don't know how the sound is routed to the > soundcard from your TV card.

I thought it was probably all the same problem so I might as well keep hammering away at tvtime until something works. (I really haven't put an effort into xawtv yet.) ______________________________________________________ ~]$ lspci -vn 00:00.0 0600: 8086:29c0 (rev 10) Subsystem: 1458:5000 Flags: bus master, fast
