Hi
Just wondering if there is an audio in header on the Eclipse MOB or XFi daughter board where I can connect the sound out from the TV Tuner card into so that the TV sound plays through the XFi sound card. Both the connectors on the Xfi card are sound out connectors......right?
Or does the card not need any sound connector as it is connected to a PCI slot through which the sound connects to the sound card.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Which one you are referring to? there is a lot of connectors.

Or does the card not need any sound connector as it is connected to a PCI slot through which the sound connects to the sound card.

That depend of your TV Tuner used, same older models need to connect the sound cable while newest not.

If your TV Tuner has Sound out, it need to be connected to "Line In" into your sound card. {Red Jack on Creative Card [MIC & Line-In]}
 
First of all, Thanks for the reply.
1. I was referring to the two audio connectors on the sound card - HD audio (I have connected to my front panel HD audio in/out) and the  the 3 pin S/PDIF out (I think).
2. The TV card is a Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP Expert and it does have a 4 pin audio patch cord which I had connected to the audio/cd in header on my previous motherboard.
3. If the TV tuner does not have integrated audio out through the PCI connection, can the audio be connected internally using the patch cord or do I have to connect externally as you have suggested?
Thanks your assistance is much appreciated!
 
You must check on the creative soundcard to see if there is any midi out on the card internally for sending sound signals to another card like your TV card.
