Sound problem with Pixelview PlayTV Pro

Version 1 also worked with Win XP Pro for me. Version 2 is a nice interface improvement & seems to be working well. Menu allows for mute operation & setting screen startup display to none.

do you use digital out or analog ones ....
is there any connection between TV card and Soundcard or is sound directly transfered per software
in other words ... who "crates" the sound

...
thats maybe the problem .... the soundcard does not transform 2 channel audio to 4.1 .... one possibility maybe to connect the TV card to CDin ... this might help .... and if Winamp uses all speakers no CMSS needed

just check if an audio CD is played in 4.1 then connecting card to CDin might be the solution

the problem ... thats not funny sometimes people really want so much shipping ....
I bought 2x thermal compound ... which fits wonderful into a bigger envelope ... but no it must be a packet full of air filled pillows ....

so there is no "internal connector" no ugly 3pin connector to use ... thats ****
