Sorry murka3000!
I didn't mean to leave you hanging, I was in Cambodia and unable to get on the internet.
RE: SOUND I posted this previously in another thread, so it may not all apply to you.
1. DRIVERS: Go to your manufacturers website (not MS update) and download the latest drivers for your card. It's common that the standard Windows Installed ones don't work with our old TV card.
2. Check WINDOWS 7 SOUND SETTINGS
Right click on the volume icon in the Windows 7 taskbar
First lets check the playback device without PVR.
Open 'Playback Devices' right click on the 'default device' and click test, if it works go
to the next step, if not change your default device or speakers and troubleshoot until this works.
Click on the 'Recording' tab, if PVR is on, you should see movement in the default device sound-bar. If not change this until you see movement in the default device sound-bar.
3. Check PVR SOUND SETTINGS
Ensure that the same devices as selected in your Windows 7 sound settings are the devices in your PVR settings, or that sound is forwarded correctly through your system is alternate devices are selected.
Here's my configuration....
=MY PVR=
PLAYBACK = Speakers
RECORDING = Line In (High Def)
=MY Windows 7=
Playback = SPeakers
Recording = Line in (High Def)
* Make sure on the Recording tab that you tick the 'Listen to this device' check box otherwise you won't get any audible output.
4. Check Physical connections and hardware
A fault here is unlikely if your sound works for everything else but....Just to be safe, if you have spare hardware, replace each cable/device one at a time (an isolation test) to verify that there is no fault here.
RE: Descaler - If it's not needed than uninstall it; I didn't need it for mine (it depends on the chip). If you need it because of your chip then let me know and I'll request help from 2 of our peers here that I know use it and the TV2000XP card.
Good Luck
Timo
