I had a similar, but different problem. I had both video tuners working, but would only capture sound on the first tuner for some reason. Doh!
Anyways, I more or less followed this guide: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4704&highlight=pvr+500 It's a little bit dated, but still very helpful. At first I followed the directions but instead of using the ivtv version 0.3.5f drivers I used a newer one (I don't remember which). This resulted in the no-sound-on-tuner-2 problem (I can't remember what exactly the problem was, but I BELIEVE it had something to do with firmware not being loaded properly). I then started over using 0.3.5f and I haven't had much trouble since then. --Jack --- Stefan Wrobel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm totally stumped on this one, I spent a few hours on it last night and I > just can't get sound from the tuner.
