Gerd (et al) -- The ATI TV-Wonder card has a line out on the back of the capture card, which the user would then connect to his sound card using a regular old stereo patch cable. I have a pair of headphones plugged directly into the sound output from the card, and there is no sound. So the capture card is not being instructed to process the audio portion of the signal, or something. My theory is that the card needs two drivers: one to run the video decoding, and one to run the audio decoding (windows requires two drivers to accomplish this function). The problem is that Mandrake is assigning the video driver to both cards, I believe. (And I can't find a driver for the audio portion of the card). Andrew T.
