Under Windows, with this exact setup, I was ah, you are. check your /etc/modules.conf to make sure that you haveing something like the following: alias char-major-89 i2c-dev alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv gbuffers=32 card=52 pll=0 triton1=1 radio=0 I'm using a Pinnacyle Sys Studio PCI card and the above appears to work better then the default settings that my distro issued. > able to listen to TV in stereo.
