Hi Folks! I'm trying to get sound to work on my BT878 chip card. Everything works fine with 2.2.14 but sound, so I went to the bttv.c code, because I know my card has nonstardard values for GPIO, IFORM and OUT_EN. I went to the source and the code was self explanatory, and I started fiddling around with this three values, not really knowing where to put them all. Nothing worked, and after recompiling the kernel a zillion times, I downloaded the lastest tarball (bttv-0.7.40). I happily found there a little Sound-FAQ from Gerd Knorr, and read that this was the thing that had to be done: trial and error. MY QUESTION is: where do those cryptic GPIO, IFORM and OUT_EN values from my card (0x0094e700,0xc0 and 0x1800) go into the bttv.c? I've tried with the guidelines on Sound-FAQ but it doesn't work. My suggestion, which is also a question, is that I don't know whether it would be possible to add a new parameter to bttv.c so that you could e.g: # options bttv user_type_card=input,tuners,svhs,gpiomask,muxsel,audiomux # so that people could right insmod their own parameters to try, without the need to rebuilding the kernel, which seems to be such a pain for some people specially newbies. If this was so,it would be easier to configure nonstandard cards, and perhaps the developer of bttv would get lots of new card type entries. But anyway, perhaps this cannot be done. I'm a newbie to v4l myself so I might be talking about something impossible :) Thanks in advance for replies. I'll keep trying values... :) Manuel PS. I got RHL6.2 on K7-750 (2.2.14). Card is BT878 from BestBuy (http://www.bestbuy-int.com I think) -- ################ mmv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##################### # Telecom Engn student # Helping its system work at: # # Univ.of Vigo (SPAIN) # http://lostrego.uvigo.es # ##########################################################
