It is also possible that you get no sound at all. With my Hauppauge I get noisy sound on the second input (mapped to line2 by the mixer device). Others get a useable signal on line1. I too get noisy sound on a Hauppauge card and no sound at all on another BT878 card. I'm happy to have 32000 Hz sample rate - do you think the Flyvideo 3000's are pretty consistent (i.e. *most of them work*), or is it as uncertain as the Hauppauge setup, or do you have too limited information to guess on that? (is it also possible that the line of Hauppauge stereo MSP34xx cards mostly work, but other Hauppauge cards are less sure or simply don't? Since I need to set up a number of machines, and don't have good access to TV card vendors (I'm in Prague), I don't want to have half of my cards not work or work badly, since returning them is a pain.
