First, most (all?) cards that don't do hardware encoding require you to feed
the audio output from the card to the audio input of your sound card. A quick
Google suggests that your card probably doesn't do hardware encoding, but I'm
not 100% sure of that. Thus, the first thing to check is that your audio
input/output cabling is correct.
If so, then you'll need to start checking your mixer settings. This can be
tricky sometimes. One page that's likely to help a lot is:

If you've got digital audio out (for 5.1-channel sound through a receiver),
you might also want to read:

If these sources don't help, try posting back with more details. Most
importantly, report details of your physical connections (between the tuner
card and the sound card and from the sound card to your TV, receiver, or
speakers) and the type of sound card you're using and its Linux drivers.
