V4L / bttv / xawtv howto question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have a wintv 878 card (it is either model 647, or model 747, depending
upon which sticker on the box is to be believed). It has stereo FM radio.

The chips on the board are:

        MSP 3415 B3

        Fusion 878A

        PAL - B/G - I   44354 Rev A321

>From my VCR, I have to 2 lines, one carrying the video singal, which I
plug into an adapter, which plugs into the SVID IN connector. The audio-out
from the VCR is then plugged into the line-in on the WinTV card. The Line
Out from the WinTV is plugged into the Line-In on my sound card.

This is the same wiring I use on another identical wintv card that is in my
wife's W2K box, and is working perfectly there.

My kernel is 2.4.7-6, the bttv version is bttv: driver version 0.7.72

I can see the video just fine, but there is no audio. Just to test the
hypothesis that the line-in on the sound card is not working, I take the
audio-out from the VCR and plug it directly into the line-in on the sound
card, and viola, I hear the TV sound.

Question:

        did I setup the hardware properly (audio-out to WinTV Line-IN, WinTV
        Line-Out to sound-card line-in) ?

if yes, what might the problem be ?

When the bttv module loads This is what I see:

   kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.72 loaded
   kernel: bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture
   kernel: bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

   kernel: bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found
   kernel: bttv0: i2c attach [Philips PAL]

I've been struggling w/ this for quite some time now, and I really have no
idea as to what I should be trying.

any help appreciated.

thank you, and regards,

Greg Hosler
