Since you seem to have explored the software side of things, how about
the hardware side? How does the card's audio out get to the pc?
Through a cable connected from the back of the card to the sound card's
line-in? If yes, have you attempted to connect another device to the
sound card's line-in jack through a different patch cable, or the same
one used by the tv card? If the tv card is connected to the sound card
by an internal cable, have you tried a different cable, or tried
connecting a cd drive audio out to the sound card connection
previously used by the tv card?
