Thanks for the idea about the order though. Justin

Ok, this isn't really a Freevo question but more of a general
question. I know you all have installed a sound card and tuner in the
same machine, so i'll ask. I have my system up and running and
everything installed but the tv-tuner. When I install my WinTV-Go
tuner, I lose all sound from my sound card. When I run rexima without
the tv-tuner, I get 10 things to change around but when I run rexima
with the tv-tuner in I get 3 things to change around, all input
channels. So I am thinking that my machine is treateing the tv-tuner
as the primary sound card and just ignoring the sound card I have in
there. Anyone else have this problem?
Basically, it sounds like your distribution is loading the drivers for
TV cards before it loads the drivers for sound cards. That wouldn't have
been an issue if the TV card didn't also have an OSS-compliant mixer.
rexima (not familiar with it, but, guessing it's an OSS mixer app) is
hooking itself up to /dev/mixer or /dev/mixer0 (same thing) -- if
tvmixer loads before the driver for your sound card, mixer0 is the tv
card rather than the sound card.
You haven't said what distribution you're running. The solution to this
problem is unfortunately very distribution-specific.
What you're going to need to do is force the sound driver to load
before the TV card driver. If you let us know what distribution you're
running - and whether those drivers are modular or built into the kernel
itself - someone here can give you specific advice on how to work around
it.
If your drivers are all built into the kernel -- ie, 'lsmod' doesn't show bttv, etc -- you may have to rebuild your kernel, or just tell everything to use /dev/mixer1 (and possibly /dev/dsp1).
In debian, you would simply edit /etc/modules and move the module name
for the sound driver to the top of the list. Usually. I mean, that would
accomplish what you need, while ignoring whatever sound setup scripts
debian has these days.
Other distributions will vary.
