You havent loaded the msp3400 module for sound support

either the tuner module is setup wrong or the card type is wrong.

No this is not a problem. The card shows up as 2 devices as it actually is 2
devices.
One for audio and one for video. - Youll see it in your bios that way and in
windows

Here what I use to load up the modules for my Hauppague WinTV/RADIO
this took quite a bit of cursing and manual reading to figure out :)
the msp3400 module option is actually in the extended sound support section
of the kernel config at the very bottom. Note my card is based on the
bt878 chipset hence the card=10 parameter. If your is different you should
adjust it according to the docs

insmod videodev
insmod i2c verbose=2 scan=1 i2c_debug=0
insmod tuner debug=0 type=2
insmod msp3400 debug=0
insmod bttv radio=1 card=10

change the radio=1 to radio=0 if the card doesnt have a radio tuner.
If your card has a remote control like mine then look at the LIRC project
(forget the url - see freshmeat)
