not getting audio with my tv tuner

borrowed an AverMedia m150 from a friend. i have the latest driver installed for it. im using WinDVR 3 to view TV channels. im getting the picture but no audio. i concluded that i might need an audio cable patch, as there is a white patch on the tv tuner card. but then again, thats when you have a sound card, so you connect the two together. i have an abit nf7s mobo, so there's a sound card that comes with it on the board. and i dont see where i could plug the audio patch into the mobo...actually i odnt even have the audio patch to begin with so i dont even know what the ends looks like...but is this the reason why im not getting audio? or do i need to configure it somewhere to receive it....i also have the latest Nvidia WDM drivers as well.

any help would be appreciated!
 
You will need to connect the TV tuner to the sound card to get audio. Not sure how your is, but with my ATI AIW, it has a connector outside of the case, that plugs in to the line in or microphone jack on the sound card. Also, if you want it to record sound when recording programs, you'll need to go to your sound settings, go to the record settings, and check the box for the jack that the TV tuner is plugged in to.
 
thanks that helps,

i was thinking that, but there's no connector outside the case, cuz the ones that are there are just rca ones and one for tv cable and fm radio. but there is a jack on the card itself, but i never got the audio cable connector from my friend, so i have to check it out.

but even so, i dont have an actual sound card (such as an pci card), my sound card is the mobo itself. but from what you've said as well, i'm fairly confident why im not getting sound now.

thanks.
 
the problem fixed itself. im not using the audio cable, but what i have to do is press pause, and then press play (on the software - WinDVR) and it'll give me sound. it makes sense because when i view tv on winDVR, it'd interfer with my other apps such as winamp, so i have to choose which app to use the mobo's sound card. its a weird tv tuner card i suppose, or perhaps im just not sure how to properly set it up so it doesnt interfer.
