First - Thanks to Gerd
Knorr and any other contributors to the saa7134 + v4l lists. Much
appreciated, excellent work.
Ok. I am having a bit of an issue with sound.
The problem is that when I start xawtv the video starts up fine but there is no
sound (From reading this list -- you have all heard that before!) But if I
start the "radio" program the TV sound initially gets switched on and I can
hear the TV perfectly. If I tune the radio to a different station other
than the default 0.00 freq, then the sound switches over to the radio
and the radio works fine. If I restart xawtv - no sound.
If I start the radio sound again (while xawtv is running) the tv sound turns on
and works fine. If I change the tv channel - no sound once again
(it turns off). If I restart the radio program again I hear the
new channel fine. So starting xawtv or changing channels on xawtv
stops the sound from playing.
My laymans work around is to run # xawtv & sleep 15; radio (giving me
15 seconds to choose a channel, then the radio kicks in and the TV sound
works. :)
Any idea of what might be going on? Is this a
bug with saa7134 and FlyVideo 3000 TV Cards?
Here is my system rundown:
AMD Duron 700 box, 786 M RAM, and all the
normal stuff
FlyVideo 3000
RedHat 7.3 Valhalla Release
www.kernel.org - linux-2.4.18.tar.gz
with patch-2.4.19-rc3.tgz applied.
www.bytesex.org - saa7134-0.1.7 (saa7134-0.1.8
does the same thing)
Redhat 7.3 stock xawtv-3.73.3 (newly
compiled xawtv-3.75 does the same thing)
xmms works fine but sometimes gets to a
state where it thinks the sound is in use.
radio works fine.
xine works fine playing dvds.
I start saa7134 with "modprobe saa7134
card=2"
For testing I have my speakers plugged
directly into the FlyVideo TV Card. (I have tried everything)
Attached is .xawtv and lsmod output. Can
easily provide anything else that might help diagnose bug/problem.
Thanks
