I have the same cards (both TV Wonder VE and SB Live). The picture is definitely a problem with the card itself, because an All-In-Wonder 128 using the same cable looks perfect. I think I paid $19US after rebate for the card, so it wasn't a huge mistake. > 2. Sound. Sound works, but it doesnt seem to be controlled by > xawtv. I use the kmix to control the volume.

Try using the Line Level control instead of the volume control.
