I've had the problem with no sound on tuner #0, and (occasionally noisy and scratchy) sound on tuner #1 and none of the suggested patches working.
But I have it fixed now by doing ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -q 1 ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 1 I found this option last night by accident. (Scott Harris wrote in <URL:http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12459192> that he found the same solution for his 350.) I've tabulated my results below. mplayer /dev/video0: ivctl -q 0 => silence -q 1 => perfect sound -q 2 => silence -q 3 => weaker sound from tv channel on tuner #1 (changes with "ptune.pl -d /dev/video1 -c <channel>") -q 4 => silence mplayer /dev/video1: ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 0 => sound, scratchy with "options tda9887 qss=0", not scratchy with "options tda9887 qss=1" -q 1 => perfect sound -q 2 => silence -q 3 => sometimes sound from tv channel on tuner #0, reproducible by doing: ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -q 4 ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 3 ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -q 0 -q 4 => silence Driver is unpatched 0.3.7a, on SuSE 9.3, latest Hauppauge firmware (mce_cd_v25.zip).
