trying to capture the sound from the device but don't know the command to load it.
dmesg,lsusb, and lsmod show the card and appropriate modules loaded
The dev shows as /dev/snd/pcmC1D0c
tvtime plays both video and sound with no problem.
I did notice that tvtime copies the sound from the above device to default.
mplayer, vlc, and ffmpeg will display the video.
what command is necessary to access the input on the above device.
I am trying to stream the output from my Dish receiver to a server on my local network. (Mythtv doesn't seem to like the card)

Lubuntu 15.04
Intel Celeron

1) please provide the ffmpeg command you have tried
2) with the usb device connected do # 'arecord -L' and give the output here.

This is the command I tried. I also installed the oss modules and tried that.
ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:1,0 -f video4linux2 -s 720x480 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg
ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg

I get video but no audio. As I had stated tvtime works great. Starting tvtime on the command line I get this;
alsa: starting copying alsa stream from hw:1,0 to default

The output from arecord -L is;
null

did you have the Hauppauge connected when you did areacord -L?
if so I'm assuming the Cx231xxAudio is the Hauppauge audio device. (please confirm)
try this:

ffmpeg -f alsa -i default:CARD=Cx231xxAudio -f video4linux2 -s 720x480 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg
if no joy try this:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i sysdefault:CARD=Cx231xxAudio -f video4linux2 -s 720x480 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg

let me know how it goes.

Yes, the card was plugged in.
Neither suggestion worked. Here is part of the command line verbosity;

Records the video just fine. No sound in gnome-mplayer or ffplay

1) do some digging into the spec of the Hauppauge and find out what the audio device really is. I only assumed it was Cx231xxAudio, I might be wrong.
2) If you haven't already got it install v4l-utils and run 'v4l2-ctl -l', please post the output here.
3) install vlc if you don't have it and play the output in that, there's a volume control in the lower right corner. vlc is the only player I trust.
4) try a different audio source into the Hauppauge
although you've got no audio the ffmpeg command isn't throwing any errors (that I can see)

There is no sound using vlc also.
I am able to capture the sound using tvtime so my sound source should be fine.
The question is; how did they do it and how can the audio and video be redirected for streaming over a local server?

I don't know what tvtime is, but in the meantime you still have to drill down and find out what the audio device is in the Hauppauge. What is it called ie: what's its proper name?

I got sound to work on vlc. I was selecting "analog tv" for the capture mode. I left it on camera, set video device as /dev/video, and audio device as hw:1,0. Got sound. Set the video standard to NTSC and got video playback with sound.
I set up a command line to start vlc with the necessary options. Now to set it up for streaming over my network.
If vlc will do what I need, I won't mess with ffmpeg.

Thank you very much tonj. You got me in the right direction to understand the audio input. For vlc it is
:input-slave="alsa://hw:1,0"

good you had a breakthrough but I'm puzzled: if vlc works with hw:1,0 then ffmpeg should too because vlc uses ffmpeg. Out of curiosity try swapping the ffmpeg command around a bit:
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:1,0 -s 720x480 out.mpg

That worked!!
