Hi again, I should also have said that you need to rename the firmware files
ivtv-fw-enc.bin to v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw ivtv-fw-dec.bin to v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw The directory for the firmware files on my system is: /lib/hotplug/firmware but I am running Mandrake 10.1 so the hotplug directory you need for FC4 is almost certainly different. The instructions on the page: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware may be helpful Best Regards Trev On Monday 10 Apr 2006 10:23, Trev Jackson wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > Yes, after thinking about it I realised the earlier version of ivtv would > have worked, but the sound would be badly distorted because the difference > between the PVR250 which it was defaulting to and the AVC-2410 is that the > AVC-2410 has a CS53L32A DAC that needs setting to the correct sampling > speed.
