AFAIK the 878 doesn't have circuitry to convert the analogue
audio from the TV/Radio tuner to a dsp stream.
Which means you'll need an audio card.

If you're saving on slots, try to get a motherboard with
internal audio - I only have an internal jumper cable
between the 878 board and the onboard audio circuit.

But the 878 isn't an audio card, just a tuner and frame grabber.
