Re: [ivtv-devel] #0.3.3e fixes to pvr150/500 setup and sound

[Morten Rønseth]

Another 2 cents worth... I have a PVR150-MCE also (PAL), type 38. I have perfect picture (seems better now than ever before - which could be just me wanting this to be true) and great sound through a Creative Labs SB Audigy card, using alsa. I'm using 0.3.3e. I have never used "qss=0", naver had the need to. Chers, -Morten Rick Stewart wrote: Hi, Just adding my 2 cents worth - I have 0.3.3e installed with a PAL PVR150-MCE, type 58 tuner and get good video and tinny sound that is like someone talking down a tube. Prior to 0.3.3e I was using 0.3.2q and the sound was good. I have had sound since adding the qss=0 option to modprobe.conf - without it I get nothing.

Before I was using DNR to get some of the "blockiness" away but this one is really on the right track but now I just disabled it. I haven't been able to use my 150 since 0.3.2r until the saa7127-patch so I can't help you with the proc-amp problem. I might be able to find some time later this week to apply the saa7127 patch to the older releases and do some testing. I do have one problem on the 0.3.3 series that I didn't have on 0.3.2p. The problem is that on most channels, audio is "bad". On some it's just some ticking noises from time to time, on others it's really bad with the occassional "humming" (sorry if I can't describe it better, not a native english speaker). N.

It seems if we don't do this just right, then the chip doesn't setup itself to a good state for things like the proc-amp and possibly other settings. I had to figure out the best way to keep from losing other settings we manually set but still give it this reset. So this attempts that, seems like it should work, please test this if you've had problems with pvr150/500 cards since the version 0.3.2u or so, and also if you are currently doing fine with these cards, so we can make sure this is a good overall global solution for everyone (and really the right thing to do). Video proc-amp settings would be dark and red without these changes, and this could also be why some don't have sound anymore and various other things (like no capture). #0.3.3e: http://www.ivtv.tv/releases/ivtv-0.3/ Thanks, Chris -- --- Chris Kennedy / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Engineer KMOS-TV/KTBG-FM Broadcasting Services Department Central Missouri State University ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
