My TV tuner gets the video just fine, but there is no sound. How can I fix this so I get sound?
1. Check to see if you have a digital television adapter (DTA) or digital-to-analog converter for your TV Tuner that came from the cable company. Using the remote for this adapter or converter, make sure you don't have the sound muted. This seems obvious but I was completely perplexed by the same problem and this was the solution.
2. Open Windows Volume Mixer, which will likely be in the Taskbar, during the time when you ought to be hearing sound from the TV Tuner. Make sure nothing is muted and the program, such as Microsoft Media Center, is not being muted from the Windows Volume Mixer. With Windows 7 it is now possible to mute one program while leaving other programs at full volume.
3. Try different software with your TV Tuner. First try VLC Media Player, and then try Microsoft Media Center, and then try whatever software came with the Sabrent TV Tuner.
Hopefully one of these ideas gives you a breakthrough.
Good luck and thanks for using FixYa.
