[Possibly OT] Hauppague WinTV card lost sound

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

I have a Hauppauge 44801 WinTV-GO in my wife's computer, plugged in to
cable, so she can watch TV through tvtime on her sid machine. This
past week, sound stopped in the tvtime app. Sound works in everything
else, but not through the card. I tried plugging the speakers directly
in to the line out on the TV card, and got silence. I've adjusted the
sound levels in aumix.

The odd thing is that this happened with an older version of the same
card a few months ago, so I ordered a refurbished one to replace it,
and this happens again to the same card.

Is there anything more I can do to troubleshoot the sound issues?
Could thi sbe an issue with pulse audio? I have the following
installed of pulse:

dpkg -l | grep pulse
