The PVR-150 muxes the audio and video into an mpeg stream. When using "composite in" the sound should be coming in the "line in" However your driver may need to be switched to the right device, use ivtvctl ivtvctl -A - lists the audio inputs ivtvctl -Q - tells which one it is switched to now ivtvctl -qn - switches to input n > > > > -- > [email protected] mailing list > -- [email protected] mailing list
