Odd bug, started in build .110, but I hadn't had much time to watch TV on my PC, so I couldn't do much with it.
I'm using a
VisionTek "Xtasy Everything" video card, which has an external "pod" TV-tuner. There's a physical connection from the "pod" to the video card, and a physical connection from the "pod" to the sound line-in.
With MC configured properly, TV works great. Since .110 though, there is no audio. After much picking and clicking, I can get the audio to work. Today, I finally found a pattern.
Upon starting TV (either after just launching MC, or after watching TV, switching to music, and then back to TV), there is no audio at all. I have to go into "Configure TV...", hit the "Advanced" tab, and double-click the "TV Tuner..." entry.
Once the TV Tuner options panel appears, the audio starts right up. I don't have to actually change anything, I just have to load up the panel.
Also, strangely enough, if MC isn't running and I plug my iPod in (via firewire), I hear about a second of TV audio pop out of the speakers.
