Where do you hear the sound?

JIC:
You must connect an amplifier(!) to the DVB card, 
not just "passive" speakers.
Try a head phone, to hear at least a small bit.

What kind of DVB-board do you have?

v1.3
v1.5
v2.1
nova?


The 1.5 (=SkyStar1) has another sound chip and you must 
tell the driver to use that chip.
