Hi. In case anyone cares, the problem was that I downloaded a new
version of the v4l2 snapshot (before I found that gentoo already has the
v4l2 kernel patches applied) and the saa7134 driver references this when
compiling. I replaced it with the old version and it's now working as
well as it did before (which is not good but it's better than no sound
at all).
Cheers,
Rob.

Hi. I am running two SAA7134 based Flyvideo 3000 cards (Australia PAL
BG/DK) under Gentoo and up till now I have been having the same problems
as Christian Hack in "SAA7134 - No audio via DSP _or_ card output and
others" - ie sound disappearing on some recordings in MythTV but now I
have another problem.
I downloaded the 0.2.8 version of the SAA7134 drivers and when I
installed them, I couldn't get any sound out of the cards at all. Then
I did a make install on the old 0.2.7 files again and it worked again
(as well as it did before anyway). Then I made a copy of the 0.2.7
directory and did a make clean / make / make install on that and I get
no sound again so it seems to be a problem with the way the modules are
being compiled. The original compiled versions still work and there
aren't any errors reported when compiling.
The only thing I can think of is that recently emerge upgraded my
version of gcc from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3-r1 and glibc from 2.3.1-r4 to
2.3.2-r1. Could this explain the lack of sound? Picture and tuning all
work fine but there is no sound (even with a speaker attached directly
to the card output) no matter how many times I try. I have rebuilt the
kernel too but this seems to make no difference.
This is not a sound output issue as previous recordings play back fine.
Thanks for your help,
Rob.
