Im still on a learning curve here, so my next question is this: What specifically do I need to do here? I am not sure how I would load the module with the proper options. You don't need other module options. You sound card is on index 0, which is what we want already. What you need to do is to record the sound stream from /dev/dsp2 for your 800i. If you use tvtime, you can run the following command in one terminal arecord -D hw:2,0 -f dat | aplay and keep it running. Then start tvtime as usual in another terminal, you should be able to hear the audio now if everything goes smoothly. For other applications such as mythtv, they probably have an option to set up which sound device to use for audio capture, which again is normally defaulted to /dev/dsp, you simply need to change that to /dev/dsp2. -- Chaogui Zhang ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Seems I was missing the XC firmware for Glad to hear that. I guess it should have been mentioned earlier that the firmware is needed. In any event, I have updated the wiki page at linuxtv.org with the relevant firmware downloading instruction so we can point anyone else to a page that explains all the necessary pieces to get the 800i working. the tuner. I grabbed, extracted and reloaded the modules, and all is well. Except for one thing: No sound. Now, it could just be ALSA issues. I know running multiple soundcards can be an issue. Ideas? I assume you mean analog tv or analog input. The audio is via the cx88-alsa module, which is working fine for me last time I tested. You need to grab the sound from the appropriate /dev/dsp? device. Do a cat /proc/asound/cards and it will tell you what number(the ?) to use for your cx88-alsa device. Note that you might run into issues if your cx88-alsa grabs the index 0 for your sound cards. In that case, use module options to force the cx88-alsa to index 1 or 2 as needed. Index 0 should be reserved for your main sound card so your normal software can use /dev/dsp (which they always default to). -- Chaogui Zhang Ok, I know I am really close now, but I am still having trouble. Here's what I did, and what I am getting. I extracted the xc5000 file, moved it over to /lib/firmware, then I downloaded the lastest v4l-dvb, sudo make, sudo make install, and rebooted. My system came right back online. I have sound and a network connection. I went to mythtv back end, and my card was already selected, but when I go to scan channels, I get an error. I started tvtime, went to scan for channels, nothing. I started kaffeine, and again, my card was there, but I cannot scan for channels. I know I am so close, but I don't know what to do from here.

Re: [linux-dvb] Pinnacle 800i driver problems
Sorry for the repost, but I too am having these issues. I am using ubuntu, with the 2.6.22-14-386 stock kernel. It looks like the tuner callback function caused a kernel OOPS for some reason. I do get an oops. Once more, it seems to lock my machine completely. It locks at the point it starts the nVidia driver I believe, but it could also be locking at X startup. Does not even get to KDM/GDM. I cannot even switch to a different tty. It gets stuck. My only option at that point is to hard reset, load a recovery kernel from the grub menu, login as root, and then do a make rminstall, reboot off the standard kernel and all is well again. Even a startx from the recovery kernel as root reproduces the same issue. My suggestion: 1.

Chaogui,
Thank you for the response and the help. I will look at this when I
get
home from work. My question about downloading from the v4l-dvd tree,
do I
download the finalized support file
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/6303d8072fff ?
Do I need to make a folder v4l-dvd or can I make, and make install
from the
folder that I extract the tz file from?
Again, thank youfor all the help.

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb including ALL the patches. Click on the

I guess it should have been mentioned earlier that the firmware is needed. In any event, I have updated the wiki page at linuxtv.org with the relevant firmware downloading instruction so we can point anyone else to a page that explains all the necessary pieces to get the 800i working. the tuner. I grabbed, extracted and reloaded the modules, and all is well. Except for one thing: No sound. Now, it could just be ALSA issues. I know running multiple soundcards can be an issue. Ideas? I assume you mean analog tv or analog input. The audio is via the cx88-alsa module, which is working fine for me last time I tested. You need to grab the sound from the appropriate /dev/dsp? device. Do a cat /proc/asound/cards and it will tell you what number(the ?) to use for your cx88-alsa device. Note that you might run into issues if your cx88-alsa grabs the index 0 for your sound cards. In that case, use module options to force the cx88-alsa to index 1 or 2 as needed. Index 0 should be reserved for your main sound card so your normal software can use /dev/dsp (which they always default to). -- Chaogui Zhang ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Re: [linux-dvb] Pinnacle 800i driver problems
Greetings all, Ok, I feel really dumb but I have having a devil of a time getting linux to see my capture card. I believe I am doing everything right, but then again, I don't know. I downloaded the file posted about a week ago stating it was a patch for the pinnacle pci card (800i). I extracted the tz file, opened terminal, cd directory to the folder, did sudo make, sudo make install and restarted my computer. When I start mythtv back end, I get no card can be found error. I'm sure I am really close to getting this to work. Any help for a linux nOOb would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Can you tell us a little more about what you are seeing. What file did you download from where? What does the output from dmesg say about cx88? ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Thank you for your response, and for some help
I am currently at work (and not by my machine). I will post more when I get
home and jump onto my machine.

What file did you download from where?

Given the changes the 800i driver have been through, you will be much better off if you use the latest code available at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb As of this morning, all patches related to the 800i so far have been merged into the master tree above, so it should work without problems. The only time that one may consider not using the master tree is when you know for sure that there are patches related to your device that have not been merged. If you still cannot get it working, post here. Good luck! -- Chaogui Zhang ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
