I've finally just had success with this card and have sound and video working (something I wasn't able to achieve on intrepid or hardy). Using jaunty with kernel 2.6.28-11-generic, I originally got the same kernel oops as described above. To get working I did the following: (1.) Downloaded and installed the firmware for the card, as described on this page - http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/AverMedia_AverTV_Cardbus_Hybrid_E506R.
(2.) Built v4l from scratch using the instructions on this page: http://plone.lucidsolutions.co.nz/dvb/t/compiling-v4l-dvb-drivers-for- saa7134-and-xc2028 (note using the v4l-dvb branch as described, not any experimental branch) (3.) Added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/options -> options saa7134 alsa=1 card=136,136,136,136 tuner=71,71,71,71 i2c_scan=1 - as described on the same page as step 2. (4). Rebooted the system, the plugged in the card. After this, the kernel detected with no oops, and tvtime picked up my channels first run with no additional tuning - fantastic!. To get sound running, I had to use the sox wrapper -> sox -v 0.05 -c 2 -s -r 32000 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp -r 32000 /dev/dsp (as described on a number of pages). Hope this is useful :) -- Kernel OOPS during initialization SAA7134 jaunty kernel 2.6.28-4.generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
