I had a myriad of problems with my saa7134 card and finally got it to
work with the following:
add to /etc/modules.d/saa7134:
options saa7134 card=26 tuner=5 oss=1 dsp_nr=1 mixer_nr=1 oss_rate=32000
(Your card number is likley to be different and should be found from the
output of dmesg)
add to /etc/mouldes.d/tda9887:
options tda9887 qss=1 port1=0 port2=0 debug=1
then run modules-update, reboot and try.
I do however have issues from time to time after using the card in
Windows then rebooting into Linux but these usually clear up after a
power off and restart.
