Hi

I have bought a typhoon silver crest tv tuner card and I am not able to 
configure it fully. I want to use radio part of it but not getting any sound.

So far I have done following.

1)Follow bttv howto. The card is BT878, bttv modules recognises it and 
registers it fine. But there are several mismaches between the howto and my 
experience.

The sound is first problem. msp3400 moudle gets loaded fine but it does not 
yield any sound output. I am using radio/record to check sound. Both are Xawtv 
packages.

Secondly as per bttv howto, the tuner crystal should be 28M/35M for NTSC/PAL 
but this idiot is 4M. I have tuned tuner module for Phllips PAL type card with 
type=5 but I am not sure if that's correct by a remote chance. /dev/radio does 
not work without this.

I also tried modules tvaudio and tvmixer. No use.

2)I tried loading radio-typhoon module. But no effect. I can't figure out exact 
range of io ports but that may be a part of problem.

I have /dev/radio but it's location varies depending upon modules. Sometimes 
it's /dev/radio0 or sometimes it's /dev/v4l/radio0. When I try to cat 
/dev/radio as root, I get invalid argument.

How can I find which module is responsible for which device. Also any idea to 
figure out ioports for a PCI card? cat /proc/ioports gives me range of io ports 
but the range is absurdly large to try out manually and it doesn't tell me to 
which card these io ports go to. So I am kinda confused.

Any help appreciated. I am using Mandrake8.2.
