I can't get sound in xawtv. I have a cable going from my saa7134 (LifeView FlyVideo3000) card's line-out to my ESS1988 (Allegro, uses maestro3 driver) line-in.
I get perfect picture in xawtv, and perfect sound in radio (the TV card does FM Radio) with the same cable connection. Sound works fine in the bundled TV application under Windows, and I've had no problems with 'line-in' using other devices (e.g. a walkman plugged into the sound card). Turning artsd on and off makes no difference to the xawtv problem. Gerd Knorr has said that he thinks it may be a problem with the saa7134 driver, and not xawtv. That sounds plausible to me. I'm running Debian stable, KDE2, with a backported 2.4.24 kernel (www.backports.org), with the patches from bytesex.org (2.4.24-rc1) applied. Further info about my config can be found here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234367 Can anybody help? In particular, I'd love to discover a way -- without having to put it in kernel code -- to peek into the memory mapped by PCI and check things like mute status and volume. setpci only seems to check configuration registers, and not allow looking at the DMA area. I have a request for further info into Gerd, but I suspect Gerd is a very busy person, what with maintaining xawtv and a whole bunch of drivers.
