I've just (temporarily until a Hauppauge card turns up) installed this card, Digital FreeView is fine and I have connected my Sky box to the composite in and line in on the motherboard.
Installed the Pinnacle software and (eventually!) got video and audio from the composite/line in. So I know that works OK, phew!
But in MediaPortal added the composite input (get two and two S-Video as well, don't know why...) but don't get audio.
Edited the channel in TV Server Config and set the Audio to Line Input #1, Automatic, Tuner but nothing! (I use the Preview button, the digital channels are fine.)
Changed the Audio Renderer to be the motherboard SoundMax application with zero effect too.
Looked around on the Forum (for about 2 hours now) reading various posts but nothing seems to be relevant other than an old comment (2005!) that said you have to 'find a combination that works' - but I don't believe that is quite true now.
I accept I'm probably being exceedingly dense but any idea what I'm doing wrong?
If I could get the CielPlus working I wouldn't even be bothering with this
.
Hurry up card....
