I'm just getting started with video on Linux, so my appologies if this is
a FAQ -- I looked through the last couple of months archives and didn't
find a solution :(
My goal is to record video and audio from the TV card -- eventually from
multiple TV cards.
I have a Hauppage WinTV 190 labeled "NTSC 38101 rev B410."
I'm using mencoder 0.90pre9-3.2 to grab and encode to MPEG4.
If I use "/dev/dsp" which reads the audio from the sound card, the sound
quality it fine.
If I use "/dev/dsp2" which should be the "digital" output from the TV
card, I get nothing -- it confuses mencoder and I have to kill the
process.
If I use "/dev/dsp3" which should be the "analog" output from the TV card
I get really noisy audio. It sounds like something is "overdriving"
something.
I've tried fiddling with "aumix-minimal -d /dev/mixer1" which should
control the output levels on the TV card, but it doesn't.
I've tried fudging the channel frequency up and down in 0.1mHz increments
without success.
I've tried mencoder's "-tv" "volume" option which I hoped would control
the output level, but it doesn't.
How can I get sound from dsp2?
How can I get "clean" sound from dsp3?
Any clues will be greatly appreciated :)
Here's some more (relevant?) details:
