Hi guys just subscribed to this list in hopes of getting some help finially I have this ProVideo PV951 TF which is one odd beast. I got it via my friend from hong kong. What is odd about this card is that is packaged by a company call Grandmars (another generica tawain company with a odd name) but it's really a ProVideo card. The model is as i have said PV 951 TF it is a bt878A based board (unlike the PV951 which when i modprobe bttv with this card setting gives me 848) and uses a LG TAPC-I001P tuner and has a FM support. So anyhow everything seems to work with v4l and xawtv that came with mandrake 8. I can get a pretty decent picture but i have totally no sound. Before i found out that this card was actually a provideo pv951 TF i tired all sorts of combination of settings. Sometimes i can get very staticy sound on one and only one channel and on one other channel i seem to get sound that doesn't belong there. Otherwise all other channels are quiet. So my question here is how do i get this to work? I don't feel like going out and dishing out more cash for a "supported" card as this is sort of supported. If anyone had experience with this it would be great if you'll tell me how to get this working. Cause unlike other windows centric stuff i can't run this in my dual booted gamedoze cause the software that cames with the card locks WinMe up hard. here's a copy n paste of my dmesg output: bttv: driver version 0.7.62 loaded bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

And it does detect it as a BT878. Just no sound still! thanks in advance Cheers Sebastian Ip
