Perhaps through the T.V. speakers?

If it has a separate headphone port that is enabled while normal output is not than phrasing it as "no sound through the T.v. . only through headphones" isn't really accurate or descriptive. It's all very confusing to see a complaint about TV capability in a "Linux" thread or to see a problem with your sound device phrased as one with your output device.mattsteg wrote:lex-ington wrote:I'm curious where you would expect sound to be going that it isn't.Now to the crap:

The T.V. has a PC sound input that I have gotten sound from before by hooking up other systems to it . . . . straight connection from the green output port from the board to the green input port on the T.V.

The image quality with GB-PVR is identical to live TV and setup is a breeze (I was up and watching/recording TV in minutes). If you don't have Windows MCE (but do have XP or Win2k), I'd suggest going this route.

IMHO, unless you are wanting to browse the internet on your TV a media extender is a better solution than having a computer hooked directly to it. You get much cleaner looking video that way because the extender is a native TV video device. Whereas a computer must rescale the image itself.

Have you given MediaPortal a try?
