 From this, I'm guessing the channels you use for normal sound are 
muted. My (also Leadtek Winfast) tv tuner uses the Aux channel on my 
sound card, which is controlled separately from Wave/PCM sound. 
Double-click the volume icon in the panel, if you're in GNOME, or run 
gnome-volume-control, same thing.
