Just to make sure the tv card is ok, have you tried connecting it directly to
your speakers? If it's making clicking noises and nothing else, I'd try
debugging there.
Of course it depends what kind of set up you have, I'm assuming it's like mine
where the tv card decodes the audio and sends it via an external cable to the
sound card, which really just acts as an analogue volume control (no
processing done by card or application). Digital DV might be different.
Hmm ... I have not tried connecting directly to my speakers. I plugged a
walkman into the line-in jack on my sound blaster card and it worked
fine so I just assumed that wasn't the problem. I will try that tho. How
would I go about debugging there? Is there any options to debug with
xawtv? If so, what would I look for?
Yes, I do have that setup where an external cable that runs into the
sound card. I do not have the DV card.

You've got to remember that xawtv just mutes and unmutes the line in, it
doesn't generate or process the sound data at all, the signal is fed into the
line in as analog and sent straight back to the line out without being
digitised (well, it *might* be, point is the ap doesn't touch the sound)
In KDE (You mention it somewhere else in the thread) you can do what xawtv
does - mute and unmute chanels - from the input pane of kmix. Try unmuting it
manually when there's a signal coming from the tv card.
If you plug headphones directly into the tvcard's line out and there's no
signal I can only assume it's borked. Some cards have an internal volume
setting (in addintion to the input volume onthe sound card) - the only
program I know which can change this is tvtime, however most cards come with
it at 100% percent by default and I can't think of a good reason it'd have
been changed.

I've noted on the TV card that is installed here that a separate control
shows up in the mixer (gnome) for it's audio level. I cannot say if it
actually does anything as my audio goes directly from an external tuner
to the Line-In.
Anything like that in your mixer app?

Hmm ... I have seen a slider for "Video" if that is what you are
referring to. I've tried that slider as well with no luck. Just the
channel clicking comes through the speakers for some odd reason.

You probably want the slider for line in, since the sound card just sees it as
an input, and is unaware that it is being used for video. There's probably an
internal connector on you sound card marked "video" that nothing's connected
to.

Tried everything, no good.

If you have tried unmuting all the channels, and changing their volume and
have made sure the line in socket isn't set to output centre or low effects
channel, then I'm guessing the tv card just isn't sending the signal - have
you tested plugging the speakers directly into it?
