Hi, Last year there was a thread about spontaneous muting on a PVR150. At the time it was put down to heat, and nothing more was heard. Sorry, I can't find my original copy of the thread to reply to, hence the new message.
I have a server with several PCR150s in it and I am seeing a very similar problem. All cards are being fed from good quality RH UHF analogue feeds. After a day or so, one or more of that cards looses its audio. Running v4l2-ctl --log-status -d /dev/videoX gives the following for one f the cards that has lost its audio. The coresponding output for a fully functioning card is show at the bottom: The key I suspect is in the audio detection area, where is says: cx25840 3-0044: Detected audio mode: forced mode cx25840 3-0044: Detected audio standard: no detected audio standard cx25840 3-0044: Audio muted: no cx25840 3-0044: Audio microcontroller: detecting Does this indicate a locked microcontroller do you think? As before, a reboot fixes this. The system is in an air-conditioned server room at 19 Celsius, so I don't think this is a heat issue. The problem is not frequency specific, but appears randomly across all the cards. Kernel 2.6.23 and v4l drivers from hg on 29/3/2008, running FC5. This has happened with a number of different server types, so I don't think it is hardware specific. Any ideas of whet I should be looking for, or any more information I can supply?
