Re: kwintv keeps sound on in suse 8.2

Thanks for the info. I took out my ati tv card and now I put it back in after 
you said the audio for the tv application does not have any bearing on 
anything else. If I use it and when I finish I will just mute it. I use 
kwintv and have not tried the other two.
That is too bad that your win-tv card is not better than the ati one.
I have heard about icewm window manager. I am pretty new to linux and only 
tried kde.
I am getting no sound for any of the games I try. No sound for anything except 
for the tv and my cd-roms when I put in a audio cd. You would not why ?
I was using kmix. I tried using gamix. There are a lot of selections. It is 
really long.
I have a sound blaster live 5.1 card. I have an AMD 2200 cpu. 

Thanks,

darwin
