515129 2007-01-12 01:28:00 Connect the speakers to line out on the sound card. Not the audio out on the tuner.

Then it should play sound when u use the tuner and still play sound normally in Windows.

Just make sure u tick line in under the sound / volume control properties.

If the tuner's audio out is connected to line in on the sound card.

515131 2007-01-12 04:53:00 Some TV Tuner cards come with a short cable to go from the line-out on the TV card to the line-in on the sound card.
It sounds like yours should have this.
Then you can leave the speakers connected to your sound card line-out and use the Line-In volume control to adjust volume of the TV card.

515132 2007-01-12 05:48:00 It might be just a matter of unticking the mute box for "line-in" on the mixer page. :D Graham L (2)
515133 2007-01-12 06:18:00 managed to find some info on the maufactures web site
and it looks as if it is as CYaBro said.
