David and List,
It turns out my saa7134 fixes and unfixes itself with no ryhm or reason. It
is unfixed (sound not working) again. I am trying many combinations.
Update:
1. I have moved the position my PCI cards to see if I could remove the joint
interrupt situation. It did change the interrupt allocation. The saa7134
is now has its own dedicated interrupt #9. It did not solve the "no sound
on startup or channel change" problem.
# cat /proc/interrupts

2. xmms (audio/mp3 player) does not work unless es1371 is installed before
saa7134. But when I have had saa7134 + flyvideo 3000 card working xmms also
worked fine. Ie. Mixer was mixing sound.
3. I just tried outputing xmms sound from the sound card into the FlyVideo
"Audio IN" jack card and connecting my speakers to the FlyVideo "Audio OUT"
jack. I could not get sound to flow through the card (not that it is meant
to, I am not sure, just curious to see if audio was in flow through state)
no matter what combinations of mixer options and and FlyVideo Input Source I
picked. Still no luck.
4. I am still VERY curious why starting the radio triggers the sound to work
for the TV?? Is there source code that can be moved from the saa7134-radio
to the saa-7134 video that might be able to be executed upon video start up
and channel changing? Just curious if it might work like that?
