Hello all! Still having problems here, can't seem to figure this out. I'll sum up most all of the troubleshooting that I have done the best I can.
As I said before, everything was working before when running ivtv-6.2 with kernel 2.4.16. After upgrading to kernel 2.4.17 and ivtv-7.0 I no longer have any sound in my recordings. I just recently purchased my tuner card via ebay not even a month ago, and it was supposed to be a PVR-150-MCE. I never thought twice about it and was using it as such. During this troubleshooting I realized that it is, in fact, a PVR-350-MCE. Good news for me, bad news for the ebay seller! Anyways, that shouldn't make a difference as my understanding is that they have practically the same encoder, just that the 150 doesn't have a decoder. I'm not using the decoder on this anyways since it's in my server and not my frontend, and I don't have the TV/audio out cable. Anyways, here's what I've tried: I uninstalled (via yum, which is how I installed them originally) all ivtv including the modules for both the old ivtv-6.2 and ivtv-7.0. I then shutdown and unplugged the power to the machine for 5 minutes or so as someone on this list had suggested to let the power drain from the tuner. Then I booted it back up and installed ivtv again via the same howto I originally followed: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Fedora That still didn't work, so I replaced the firmware: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware#Obtaining_and_Installing_the_Firmwa re Then I tried manually doing a 'modprobe msp3400' which didn't help any. That still didn't work, so I manually renamed the kernel's modules pertaining to the tuner and msp3400 and then rebooted again, and it still didn't work. I have checked, yet again, and the problem is *not* on my frontend side as I can play my old recordings with sound perfectly fine. The problem is not in the myth software, as doing a 'cat video0 > test.mpg' results in a video with no sound as well. Here is the output of the command Hans requested while doing the mentioned manual recording command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# ivtvctl --log-status ioctl VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS ok ivtv0: ================= START STATUS CARD #0 ================= tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 48231, rev D133, serial# 727051 tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is Temic 4039FR5 (idx 33, type 21) tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is MSP3435 (idx 10) tveeprom 0-0050: has radio saa7115 0-0021: Audio frequency: 48000 Hz saa7115 0-0021: Video signal: ok saa7115 0-0021: Frequency: 60 Hz saa7127 0-0044: Standard: 60 Hz saa7127 0-0044: Input: normal saa7127 0-0044: Output: S-Video + Composite saa7127 0-0044: WSS: disabled saa7127 0-0044: VPS: disabled saa7127 0-0044: CC: disabled ivtv0: ================== END STATUS CARD #0 ================== Here is the related output settings of 'lspci -v' 02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 4800 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 169 Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 This is all using Redhat FC4, with the current kernel, 2.6.17-1.2139_FC4 If anyone could be of help, that would be fantastic! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hans Verkuil Sent: Saturday, July 01, 2006 5:00 PM To: User discussion about IVTV Subject: Re: [ivtv-users] No sound after updating to ivtv 7 and kernel 2.4.17 On Saturday 01 July 2006 22:46, Mito wrote: > Hello to all! > > First of all, thanks to everyone who will help, as I know how much > work it is sometimes to help people. > > My problem first started a few days ago when I was trying to re-setup > my frontend to my MythTV system.

Thanks in advance for any help you're able to > give! Please provide the output of ivtvctl --log-status while recording a program. It should give me some info on the sound. By the way: can you verify that your card has a saa7114 chip instead of a saa7115? I noticed this in your log. It's probably quite an old PVR350, right? If you do have a saa7114, then I'd like to ask you some tests. Note that this is unrelated to your sound problem, it's just an issue with the saa7114 that I'd like to clear up.
