After upgrading my LinuxMCE 0710 Beta 4 to final version I faced with strange thing. Sound and LiveTV didn’t work. I spent a few house to investigate that problem. And finally found that I have two sound cards and no any DVB:
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Audiowerk2 ]: aw2 - Audiowerk2
Audiowerk2 with SAA7146 irq 16
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfe020000 irq 20
By some reason system recognized DVB card as sound.

I solved the problem with sound just defining NVidia as default card:
asoundconf set-default-card 1

But still didn’t have any luck with DVB. Thanks for folks from linux-dvb mailing list solution was found. The new Audiowerk2 driver recognized all saa7146-based cards as sound cards:
static struct pci_device_id snd_aw2_ids[] = {
{PCI_VENDOR_ID_SAA7146, PCI_DEVICE_ID_SAA7146, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID,
0, 0, 0},
{0}
};
To avoid that I just added snd_aw2 into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Now my LinuxMCE works like a charm!
