I am using a PVR 150 on the 2.6.14-rc1 kernel with the 1.3.9 ivtv
release. The change from 1.3.8 definitely fixed a problem with a failure
to lock the sound in quickly. I saw many of the same problems reported
with different releases of the ivtv module, but currently the only
problem that I see is no sound under mythtv.
I checked that the sound level is as expected by running "mplayer
/dev/video". The sound is as expected, and restarting mplayer several
times doesn't affect the sound level. I checked the volume that ivtv
sets with "ivtvctl -Y". There seems to be no problem that I can see with
the ivtv module when running mplayer. I can change the channel with
ptune, and everything seems to be fine. "ivtvctl -Y" shows a volume of
60928.
I then checked the sound level with mythtv. When I choose the "Watch TV"
menu item, and check the ivtv volume with ivtvctl, the level is changed
to 38912, and the sound doesn't work. By modifying that volume level,
with "ivtvctl -y volume=61000", the sound reappears, and doesn't change
when changing channels. But everytime that I rerun mythtv, the sound
level is reduced.
Since many of those giving feedback for ivtv are using mythtv to check
out the sound levels, some of the problems reported might really be due
to problems within the initialization interface with mythtv. I know that
this is a purely empirical form of problem analysis, but there are no
problems that I see with the 1.3.9 ivtv module. I thought that some
positive news might be a welcome change.
