Before we do that, post what you already have. The official PSU has 3A. Is that yours?
PS: I don't want to make you buy more useless stuff. It's possible that NO RPi PSU provides the wattage for your dual tuner. In that case it's better to buy a single tuner instead (see the suggestion from HiassofT ).
It's a little bit more than a Hail Marry shot from my side of the ocean. Explanation for my PSU idea:
It plays for about 10 seconds and freezes.
This can be the point when wattage comes into play.
PS: Don't forget, you have a dual tuner, which munches extra cookies.
Another standard point to check: Make sure your PSU has enough wattage, because the tuner stick probably grabs a lot of it.
PS: If you have a notebook, test your tuner stick with a standard Linux like Ubuntu. Then you can be sure that your notebook will provide enough wattage for the tuner stick. You don't even have to install Linux, because you can run a "Live" version directly from USB stick or DVD.
Possible bad (new) Haupagge tuner?
Please provide a link to Hauppauge to let us see which tuner you use.
Can you please confirm that your tuner is connected to a fast (blue) USB port?
I'm starting to think that either USB speed or tuner stream is the problem, not LE:

Because of megaprime421 's repeatedly usage of illegal software, I have to close this thread and ban him.
I know it sounds crazy, but please test de-interlacing as mentioned above.
PS: At Settings -> Player -> Videos the switch Sync playback to display should be off.
ghtester Thx, that's it! I don't have the "Off" option, but the menu exists.
How do you turn off interlacing?
I'm referring to this post. I can't find a de-interlacing option on my RPi3B+, so I think it's only available on RPi4B. Search at Settings -> System -> Display, and activate "Expert" settings.
I've tried 4 different cable, eliminating any adapters. But how would the cable cause the problem I'm having, that is, sound working perfectly for IPTV or local media streaming, but sound aq going to zero for live TV?
A higher data rate can make the difference. If you need another proof to be sure about the cable: Click!
Can you confirm that you've been deactivated de-interlacing for testing?
Have you tried "Audio pass-through" on / off at the audio settings?
harry_fine Can you guarantee that your HDMI cable is conform to 2.0 or 2.1 standard? That's a common trap for RPi4 users.
Set LE to log level 2 and post a link to a kodi.log.
It's not suggested to use that HDMI mode, because video sources are usually lower than 60Hz, and it slows LE's GUI down. However, you can try to disable de-interlacing on LE's settings, or play with config.txt options (hdmi_safe=1, hdmi_pixel_encoding=2 etc.).
You can expect a lot more progress on RPi hardware, if you search for audiophile features.
I suggest to use Kodi on Raspbian at the moment. If you autostart Kodi on it, you maybe get what you want. Additionally use a second microSD for LE's experimental audiophile builds. Fortunately it's pretty easy to switch to another OS by simply replacing the microSD.
USB data rate could be the issue here, so make sure you are using a blue (high speed) USB connector on the RPi.
I made sure that pass through was working.. but I cannot find where to change any more SOUND settings..
Go to Settings -> System -> Audio -> Audio output device and make sure it's set to "PI: HDMI" or "PI: HDMI and Analogue".
For testing disable "Allow passthrough", which is only needed if the output device should decode the audio.
Use "PI: HDMI and Analogue" to activates the analogue jack of the RPi, and test it with your headphones.
I currently had an RPi4 user, who had disrupted sound due to an old HDMI (1.4) cable. Replacing by an HDMI 2.0 cable solved the issue.
