The TV card is connected to the line-in on the soundcard. Yes, I plugged various sources into the line-in (eg. Walkman, stereo, TV) and everything worked. Remember, currently my TV card is connected with the line-in on the soundcard and I can hear the 1 KHz test tone of the TV card when I activate it. If I connect my speakers directly to the line-out of the TV card, I can't hear anything, too (except to the test tone if activated). > Run xmix.

Basically, I think the problem is, that the TV card doesn't output sound, the soundcard seems to work properly. Thanks, Christian.
