Looking at the kernel source, it appears that the

The TV tuner and sound card do not seem to be
communicating.
Is there an audio cable between the tuner's output and the motherboard's
line-in (or other analog input)?
No. There is no physical external line/cable. My understanding is that
the PCIe bus is supposed to take care of that now.
[...] my tv tuner card has no sound output receptacle
The PCIe bus allows devices to communicate with the computer, but not
with each other. For TV audio to be heard, some software has to record
from the TV card and to play it back on the default sound card.
Steven, what would be needed to add the missing audio recording support
to the cx23885 driver?
I have tried
modprobe -r cx23885
modprobe cx23885 card=1
(which is supposed to be the driver specification for
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1800lp)-- no joy. "lp"=PCIe. I get no video or sound; tvtime
warns it
can't find video0.
I have tried the patch at
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1800 with no joy.
I filed a Fedora/RedHat new Bug #515740 last night with much the same
information as given here. No response yet.
