[mythtv-users] PVR-350 sound loop into soundcard

[James Grant]

Hey I have an audio question - with all the hundreds of cables i have lying 
around here, I haven't found one yet that will take the PVR-350 TV out L/R 
RCA audio and allow me to feed them back into my sound card's 'Line In'.  

The cable that i thought for sure would work is a spare computer speaker cable 
for old stereo sound cards that just have L/R.  its a small jack on one end 
that plugs into the speaker plug on the soundcard, with two RCA's on the 
other end to plug into the L/R speaker.  I figured if it works to go 'out' it 
would also work to come back in?? 

I have a SB Audigy sound card, and in alsamixer, turned "Line" in up to max, 
"Mic" in (just in case) up to max , (and actually every other control there 
just to be sure) and i still don't get any sound coming out of my computer 
speakers.

The only thing I can think of, is maybe the line is is mono and the stereo 
jack isn't making connections in the right place?  I'm pretty sure its stereo 
though, so....  

has anyone else had any luck feeding the sound from the 350 TV out back into 
their sound card?

(i know that there's sound coming out, because i can plug the RCA jacks 
directly into the back of my TV and the sound works fine... but I'd really 
prefer the sound to go through the computer speakers so the volume can be 
controlled with myth (not to mention, my computer speakers blow the TV 
speakers away any day).

Thanks,
  James
