Tv Tuner Sound Problem

I bought a PCChips Tv Tuner card which i hooked up to my out door antenna. The video is fine but i'm not getting any sound. The manual doesn't say anything but on the back of the box i see a audio output plug that goes into speakers or on board audio line-in but i'm not sure which plug they mean?

    it does look like the card comes with a small audio cable, remote cable & FM antenna.

    If you have a PCI soundcard, connect the external cable to the audio out port of the tuner card to the line-in of the sound card.

    yeah it works but i'm using a antenna connection so not all the stations are great. WPIX in NY comes in the worst which maybe cause i'm running it threw a spliter and have 2 antennas hooked to the same screw. 300 Ohm cables and i hooked the sound cable to the red mark on the dell tower which i think is for some audio adtition device and i get sound now. I recorded Sienfeld and it worked. It's kind of cool when your working on the computer you can watch tv it the need to rise. Next version of windows will bring TV cards into the mian fold and my guess every computer will have them as standard issue. Haven't hooked up the remote yet but it says only works with PCI 2.2 and i'm guessing i have PCI 1.2 or what ever came with the machine. I would recomend buying a TV tuner card for any computer specialy if you have a cable connection going to your machine. Oh yeah and the tv reception was a lot better before 9/11, stinking terriest killed my tv recption. But hark, beginig in Jan all the stations are getting a boost of power for HDTV that was the stations will have a greater broadcast range. HDTV and regular tv so i'll guess everything will be ok in jan when the new transmitters comes on line.
