It looks like the "audio standard auto-detection microcontroller firmware" (whew!) didn't get loaded properly. Some things to do: 1. Check to make sure that /lib/frimware (or wherever) has v4l-cx23418-dig.fw in it, it is readable, and has a good hash: $ sha256sum /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23418-dig.fw fd545dcb14f40e0666b95fdb3a73356e34ee282c217b96fc2740747ce1c5b0c4 /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23418-dig.fw 2. Check for errors in dmesg or /var/log/messages related to v4l-cx23418-dig.fw failing to load or initialize. Normal loading looks somehting like this: [ 16.963093] firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw [ 18.302494] cx18-0: loaded v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw firmware (158332 bytes) [ 18.347998] firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-apu.fw [ 18.841280] cx18-0: loaded v4l-cx23418-apu.fw firmware V00120000 (141200 bytes) [ 18.847667] cx18-0: FW version: 0.0.74.0 (Release 2007/03/12) [ 19.055046] firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw [ 19.397242] firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-apu.fw [ 19.845859] firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-dig.fw [ 20.368420] cx18-0 843: loaded v4l-cx23418-dig.fw firmware (16382 bytes) [ 20.409945] cx18-0 843: verified load of v4l-cx23418-dig.fw firmware (16382 bytes) 3. Try recording from the Composite or SVideo in and audio line in eliminate any problem with the audio processing in the MPEG encoder. Don't worry about the audio being muted for now; that's normal. We rely on the microcontroller to unmute the audio when it detetcts a valid TV audio standard. And since the microcontroller isn't running.... -Andy > > cx18-0: ================= START STATUS CARD #0 ================= > cx18-0: Version: 1.2.0 Card: Hauppauge HVR-1600 > tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 74041, rev C6B2, serial# 937559 > tveeprom 0-0050: MAC address is 00-0D-FE-0E-4E-57 > tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, type 50) > tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) > tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is CX23418 (idx 38) > tveeprom 0-0050: decoder processor is CX23418 (idx 31) > tveeprom 0-0050: has no radio, has IR receiver, has IR transmitter > cx18-0 843: Video signal: present > cx18-0 843: Detected format: NTSC-M > cx18-0 843: Specified standard: NTSC-M > cx18-0 843: Specified video input: Composite 7 > cx18-0 843: Specified audioclock freq: 32000 Hz > cx18-0 843: Detected audio mode: mono > cx18-0 843: Detected audio standard: no detected audio standard > cx18-0 843: Audio muted: yes > cx18-0 843: Audio microcontroller: stopped > cx18-0 843: Configured audio standard: automatic detection > cx18-0 843: Configured audio system: BTSC > cx18-0 843: Specified audio input: Tuner (In8) > cx18-0 843: Preferred audio mode: stereo > cx18-0 gpio-reset-ctrl: GPIO: direction 0x00003001, value > 0x00003001 > tuner 1-0061: Tuner mode: analog TV > tuner 1-0061: Frequency: 61.25 MHz > tuner 1-0061: Standard: 0x0000b000 > cs5345 0-004c: Input: 1 > cs5345 0-004c: Volume: 0 dB > cx18-0: Video Input: Tuner 1 > cx18-0: Audio Input: Tuner 1 > cx18-0: GPIO: direction 0x00003001, value 0x00003001 > cx18-0: Tuner: TV > cx18-0: Stream: MPEG-2 Program Stream > cx18-0: VBI Format: No VBI > cx18-0: Video: 720x480, 30 fps > cx18-0: Video: MPEG-2, 4x3, Variable Bitrate, 4500000, Peak > 6000000 > cx18-0: Video: GOP Size 15, 2 B-Frames, GOP Closure > cx18-0: Audio: 32 kHz, MPEG-1/2 Layer II, 384 kbps, Stereo, No > Emphasis, No CRC > cx18-0: Spatial Filter: Manual, Luma 1D Horizontal, Chroma 1D > Horizontal, 0 > cx18-0: Temporal Filter: Manual, 8 > cx18-0: Median Filter: Off, Luma [0, 255], Chroma [0, 255] > cx18-0: Status flags: 0x00200001 > cx18-0: Stream encoder MPEG: status 0x0000, 0% of 2048 KiB (64 > buffers) in use > cx18-0: Stream encoder YUV: status 0x0000, 0% of 2048 KiB (16 > buffers) in use > cx18-0: Stream encoder VBI: status 0x0000, 0% of 1015 KiB (20 > buffers) in use > cx18-0: Stream encoder PCM audio: status 0x0000, 0% of 1024 KiB > (256 buffers) in use > cx18-0: Read MPEG/VBI: 47030272/0 bytes > cx18-0: ================== END STATUS CARD #0 ================== > > > > From: [email protected] > > To: [email protected] > > Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:36:07 -0400 > > Subject: Re: [ivtv-users] cx18 anlog tv tuner picture but now audio > > > > On Thu, 2009-08-20 at 21:09 -0400, Jayme Shaffer wrote: > > > Im using a HVR-1600 in Fedora 11 x64.
