two cards and sound mixed up (1 Viewer)

[Jetboy]

Thanks for all your comments.

After many hours of trying and searching I know now why it's not working right!!
I gues it's like Jawbroken said.

The NTVT card is hardware mpg2 card which can stream the music through the PCI bus. The PCTV however is a software coded card which can not use the PCI interface. The only way to get sound from this card is a cabel between the tuner and the line in from the AC97. This is confirmed by Pinnacle.

So, I got myself a good reason to buy a second NVTV

P.S.

Excuse me for my poor English (not a native speaker

To me it sounds like you could skip the Y-cable and just connect the PCTV card to your sound card. The NTVT card then puts sound out the PCI bus and the PCTV card plays sound through your AC97. I'd try that before buying another card.

I've tried that.... but for some reason it wont work well. Sometimes sound stutters, sometimes MP crashes, sometimes it work for half an hour.

I'm sick of that old PCTV card and I will buy another NVTV card, it's cheap (+/- 40 euro) and they perform fine. I've got 3 pci slots free so........no more puzzling, just put in an extra card and voila.... (I hope
