[Kwintv] No Audio No channels, Please help!

Folonio,

You seem correct to question the TV card.  I have no experience with your
card.  I use the bttv driver as selected for my card by Linux and am unaware
of any muting in it.  Perhaps you should check your TV viewing application.
Some of these may have a mute function in them.  I couldn't find a mute in
tvtime, my TV viewer of choice.
