Hello,

I recently bought a HVR-1600 PCI card, and after playing with it for quite a
while, it seems I have come to the conclusion that audio does not work
unless I start in windows first, then reboot back into linux. I am using the

latest cx18 driver from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ . Its almost like the
card needs windows to initialize before it will work in linux.  I believe to
be using the latest firmware, I grabbed it from

http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/v4l-cx23418-apu.fw [along with the
rest of firmware files]. Is there anything I can do to debug this problem?

Is it possible that the card has a hardware issue?
Hello Darren,

That seems a little suspicious, since I added the raw analog audio
support and never once had the card booted into Windows.

Are you talking about raw audio (either the /dev/video24 device or via
ALSA)?  Or are you capturing MPEG video which contains audio?  Also,
which input are you using?  The tuner input?  The S-video/composite
input?

Devin

I am capturing MPEG video that contains the audio, I am using the tuner input, grabbing everything from /dev/video0.


When running a capture, please check the output of
$ v4l2-ctl --log-status

looking especially at the lines starting with

        cx18-0 843:

as these will show you the state of the A/V decoder and digitizer.  If
the audio microcontroller can't dtetct the audio standard, it will stay
muted and the log will show you that.


I would be interested in see the dmesg or /var/log/messages output
showing if all three firmware images loaded properly.

So maybe try this:

1. blacklist the cx18 module in /etc/modprobe.d/balcklist (or whereever)
2. Shutdown your machine for 30 seconds or so - I want the memory
holding the firmware to be cleared.
3. Restart into linux.
4. After boot up has settled, as root:

        # modprobe cx18 debug=255


And look in /var/log/messages for firmware loading properly.

Regards,
Andy

My last message was too large, so I compressed the logs, and it is now attached.
