I'm a little lost now, are you saying that if STB coax goes into the TV (and I assume you tune it to channel 3 or 4), you get sound, but when that same coax plugs into the tuner card (and you tune MC to 3 or 4), you don't get sound? You probably need to first establish whether you have sound when you just plug speakers into the pc to isolate if the problem is sound getting to the PC or from the PC to the other audio.
I'm am also a little lost on why you are using a coax (which is sending analog SD) from the cable box, if you have HDMI to the TV.

OK, I will try that again.. I thought I had already but perhaps mis-config's.
it.. Right now the Sat box is feeding the TV directly and I get full sound,
etc.. However, there is not two sets of outs on the sat box only one so what
is your idea of connecting everything..? Should I run the Audio out to the
PC, then bank on the ATi Radeon Vid card to push the audio back to the TV via
DVI-HDMI output/input...? or will the PC push the audio out to the Denon
Recvr that I have it going through currently (mini-jack to RCA L/R connected
to the VDP input) and the rest will just take care of itself..?
Thanks for your help BTW.. - A.J.

Typically, when using a set-top-box (STB) you connect separate video
(RCA/S-Video/etc.) and audio (L/R RCA) connections. Some people do use and
then tune the TV or Media Center to channel 3/4/etc. and the STB changes
channels. It is possible that the coax out is only sending video, so you
might try connecting the audio out to the audio input on the tuner.
BTW, it is unlikely that you were getting digital cable directly in the past
if you were directly connected (no box) to the cable connection. It has only
been in the last year or so that PC makers have released specialized Media
Center systems that have a cable-card tuner; this allows direct connection
to a digital source by renting a cable card from your provider.
Currently that is the only way to receive all the digital content through
cable. You can receive Over The Air digital with an antenna and some digital
card will receive unencrypted digital signals (Clear QAM) through coax, but
generally those are only a small portion of the digital offerings. For
instance, here in Orlando, if I plug in a Clear QAM tuner to Bright House
(Time-Warner), it finds several hundred stations, but only about 35 can be
viewed, the rest are locked.
