Replying to myself with more information. I've now tried multiple
different kernel versions, tried building my own firmware off the supplied
CDROM (it's identical to the e-build firmware) and some other misc testing
and I've narrowed down the problem to two issues:
1 - audio capture off the analog inputs does not work due to this error:
"ivtv0: i2c hardware 0x00000020 (wm8775) not found for command
0x4008646d!"
I can get video off the composite & s-video inputs but I get the same
error repeated in dmesg for each input change as it tries to establish
audio. At least we know the mpeg encoder works.....
2 - the tuner module (or hardware) definitely is broken. I can't get any
debug output from it and it doesn't seem to do the usual handshake with the
tuner chipset.
This is mostly a hunch at this point but I'll throw it out there in case
there's anything to it: I've begun to suspect an I2C problem since that
protocol is used for both the broken audio & tuner control. I have the
dreaded Via Apollo chipset on this MB which makes me even more suspicious of
this. I've tried building kernels with I2C built-in vs as modules with no
change in behavior......
I'm planning on borrowing a windows machine today and trying my luck at
installing the card in an XP environment. Maybe I can at least rule out that
the hardware is defective that way.
Thanks,
Rob
