Hmmm,  I have a 5200 and TV card.  I did have a "no sound" problem on all
channels which required an Apple warranty repair.  However if you are hearing
sound on other channels I'm stumpped.  My 5200 is running OS 8.1 and video
player 1.7.1.

The dutch bit might help: Europe uses a variety of different sound carriers
for PAL TV signals, we use PAL I or G    I think?   the dutch use PAL D or E
but I could be wrong!
