I installed a second bt87x (hauppauge) in my backend machine and am having some trouble with sound I am hoping someone can help me out with.
First, I'm using the snd-bt87x driver and it works perfectly with the first card but doesn't seem to work with the second card. I noticed that there was *not* a /dev/dsp2 device node so I created one using:
mknod -s 0600 /dev/dsp2 c 14 39
My */dev/dsp1* is major 14 minor 19 and I used the ALSA docs to figure out the proper minor number. Anyway, when I try to use the card that uses this this device I get an error message in mythbackend.log about not being able to open the device.
So just for yucks I did
cat < /dev/dsp2 > t
I get error message *no such device*. If I do the same thing with */dev/dsp1*, the cat works.
I'm using FC2. Does the error indicate that there is a problem with the device node or does it mean the device it refers to does not, in fact, exist? If so, can anyone tell me if minor 39 is, in fact, the correct minor to use?
I did notice that my hauppauge bt87x boards are different. One is shown to be rev 2 and the other is shown to be rev 17. Is it possible that one of the boards does not support btaudio and this is why I'm getting this error?
I sort of expected /dev/dsp2 to just *magically* show up either when the card was installed or when the mobprobe snd-bt87x was done but it didn't. That is why I made the device node myself. Could this be an indication that the newly installed card doesn't support btaudio?
Sorry this got a little long winded and thanks for any help/comments.
