Too many problems with a tv card (philips saa7134)

Question

Hi, I have a tv card (with fm radio receptor). This Tv Card has no brand (selled by Dekermann) but after much work and search in the web can see video with this settings:
saa7134 card=42 tuner=43
saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.16 loaded
saa7134 0000:03:06.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC1] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
saa7130[0]: found at 0000:03:06.0, rev: 1, irq: 16, latency: 15, mmio: 0xfddff000
saa7134 0000:03:06.0: setting latency timer to 64
saa7130[0]: subsystem: 1131:0000, board: Sabrent SBT-TVFM (saa7130) [card=42,insmod option]
saa7130[0]: board init: gpio is 804000
saa7130[0]: Huh, no eeprom present (err=-5)?
tuner 2-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (saa7130[0])
saa7130[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2]
saa7130[0]: registered device vbi0
saa7130[0]: registered device radio0
But I don't have sound and don't know how (after searching) to make the sound works. The only thing I know is the existence of a module called saa7134_alsa but I don't know how make it works.
arecord -l show this:
$ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: ICH [Intel ICH], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH]

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: ICH [Intel ICH], device 1: Intel ICH - MIC ADC [Intel ICH - MIC ADC]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
When I saw in /dev/ the existence of /dev/radio, I wanted to make work the radio with gnomeradio but this don't work and LIRC also didn't. And this program don't send any error message.
For LIRC I have loaded lirc_dev lirc_i2c modules, based in the LIRC web information. http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html#@hw-tv-card
Thank You

Answer 1

I can't make that lirc and my remote control can communicate.
dmesg | grep lirc
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
lirc_i2c: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

Following http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html#@hw-tv-card I have loaded lirc_dev and lirc_i2c modules but when I try to get signal of the remote with "sudo mode2 -d /dev/lircd" or "irw" not work with any house controller .
