Try my latest stuff at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/cx18 There are a few audio related patches there, that haven't been pulled to the main repo yet. > I've built the latest cx18 from the v4l repo and re-downloaded the firmware > just in case, but neither helped either. My suggestion would have been that the digitizer firmware file got corrupted when your machine went down (improbable, I know), but since you've replaced it, there goes that.

The newer kernel do something different with the PCI bus, that can cause a lot more PCI bus errors to happen at bootup (the bus is busier). This in turn can cause some cx18 register settings related to audio to fail. You really do need to try the AUDIO_ENABLE register related fix I have at my cx18 repo. You can also try unloading the cx18 module, or prevent it from loading at boot up with a blacklist option in modprobe.conf, and load it when the bus is rather quiet. If it works in that case, you may want to take out your PCI cards, blow the dust out of the slots and re-install the cards (take antistatic discharge precautions of course). This will often improve PCI bus signals that have degraded, as the PCI bus relies on both the incident and reflected voltage wave to reach the proper signalling level on the lines.
