My kernel, more specifically: kernel 2.4.10 0_videodev-2.4.10-pci64.diff 1_v4l2-2.4.10-pci64.diff 2.4.10-low-latency.patch bttv-0.7.80-2.4.10-pre12pci64.diff linux-2.4.10-xfs-2001-10-03.patch pci64-2.4.10p4-1.patch I have been having this problem since I switched to 2.3.x, late in its development. > I suppose it will be a chipset or system issue of some sort.

I don't have a copy of Windows, though the card used to play sound from the coaxial input when I used the 2.2.x Linux kernels. Unfortunately it is difficult for me to go back and play with 2.2.x, as all of my filesystems are now XFS. > Gerd's been very quiet (no response to my patch bombardment...).
