Make sure that your country is set correcly in ChrisTV Wizard.
Also Enable in Program Settings->Driver Settings->Advanced :
1. Use alternative channel frequency setting ( for some TV Cards)
2. Use special frequency tunning (for some TV Cards - MSI TV@nywhere)
And restart.

both are checked, but i've checked 'force country changing according to the tv channel video standard' too and.. success! i can hear sound on tv :)
it's possible that i've checked some other option, but sorry, i don't remember what..

okay, sound is working but now there are three little problems ('little' means: i can live with that ;> )

first: when ChrisTV starts, last used channel has no, or noised sound - solution: choose another tv channel - now sound is working ok.

second: delay of sound - sometimes little, sometimes bigger.

three: when tv shows white screen, sound has distortion.

so, one success, three little problems, that's not bad i think :D :D :D

Thanks for your help, Chris! :)

I noticed even more sound problems using 4.70 Pro Trial version.
-During Live preview mode the sound is a little noisy (can hear some spikes from time to time -it shouldn't be a problem of tunning)
-There is no sound during hardware MPEG2 recording. To be more specific - there are only sound spikes (timeshift play gives clear sound).
-I can confirm that there is random time shift between video and audio, after recording or timeshift play the sound seems to match picture

During this test:
-Use live preview without hardware MPEG encoding is On
-Force audio output is On.

Additional question: does ChrisTV support DD2.0 recording? I can't see this option.

Comment to Porzeczek:

have similar settings, have the same experience with sound, and also living in Poland.
I tried the setting for Poland, Romania and Scandinavian Countries (they also use Nicam as a audio standard). You always have sound at the start when you choose Romania.
Depending on the setting of Force Country changing according to TV Video Channel Standard:
-when the setting is off -for Norway, Sweden, etc. the sound can be heard only for channels with Nicam, noise for others, -for Poland always noise, -for Romania there is sound for all the channels
-when the setting is on -for Scandinavian Countries and Poland the sound appears after changing the channel in ChrisTV, -for Romania there is sound at the start

The conclusion is that for Poland we sould set Romania :-) But I am a little afraid if Nicam coded sound is supported for that setting.

What do you mean by DD2.0 recording ?

Please look at the specification of Sapphire Theatrix card http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/products ... p?gpid=114
On of the "hot features" is Dolby Digital 2 channel encoding. I hope they mean hardware encoding. However I didn't find any confirmation on ATI page.

from time to time (not always) helps enabling 'activate FFDshow filter' in 'video Rendering and improvment settings' (you must have ffdshow filter installed - i've used latest from http://user33.at.infoseek.co.jp/)

but i don't know, how long this solution works ok :|
