I have installed a TV card into my system and it works....for the most part...
I am having a few annoyances that I would like some assistance with:

The audio for my TV Card requires a plug from the card's audio out to my sound card's audio in (hardware limitation, I can deal with it). If I have the TV Viewer on or not, the TV Audio plays. I have to manually access the volume controller [Intel ICH5 (Alsa Mixer)], click capture, and mute / unmute the Line-in.

Is there any way I can automate this process? I am using TVTime Television Viewer. I had tried using GATOS but it kept telling me it could not find my TV Card, even though I see the card recognized in the boot script output.

Thanks in advance for the assistance
