[Kwintv] No Audio No channels, Please help!

[George Fragos]

Sound may be a separate issue from the tuner.  Some cards, like WinTV-GO,
require an audio cable to your sound card.  Frequently, lack of sound is an
issue of mute or volume level.  I don't remember what OS you're using but
the volume control icon will usually link you to a sound mixer.  This is
where mute and sound levels of captured audio like that from a TV card are
controlled.  I un-mute all capture sources.  Microphone, PCM or Line-in are
the most likely sources of TV audio.
