PCTV no sound - Help me

Lord · Oct 5, 2002, 06:17 PM

I installed a PCTV PCI card on my Pentium-4 (1.4GHZ)- 500MB RAM PC. I use ATI Radeon 8500 graphics card and Creative Audigy Sound Blaster card for sound. My PCTV card is connected to a Antenna and the PCTVision software identified the channel correctly.
When I watch TV, after aprox. 1 minute the audio stops completely while the picture continues as usual.When I click the 'settings" icon (lower-left corner) to pop up the settings window, the sound returns immediately, withou changing any setting in the window, and than disappears again after 1 minute. The same "trick" works as many times as I use it.
Pleas help me. Thanks

Do you have the latest drivers for your TV, video & sound cards? Try the new Audigy drives.
