Hi,
Load the tuner and the bttv driver module as follows
modprobe tuner type=5 debug=1
modprobe bttv card=37 audiomux=1
This is my configuration. Change the card number and tuner
type according to u'r set up from the documentation. No problem
with radio=1. To hear the audio "audiomux" must be 1.
With Regards,
S.Suriya Mohan.

Hey,
I've recently been able to aquire a used (but working) TV/FM
tuner card
from a friend of mine, and I'm having a little trouble getting
it
completely working.
The card, as suggested by the subject of the email, is the
prolink
pixelview PV-BT878P+, rev 2E, similar to the one shown in the
picture
linked to below, which is the 2F:
http://home.t-online.de/home/gunther.mayer/bttv/Prolink_Pixelview_PV-BT878P_Rev.jpg
Basically, i've got the card working, in that it can receive
video, and
i've tested it under windows, to make sure it can tune audio as
well
(well, FM audio), but i'm having trouble getting it to tune audio
under
linux, with the brooktree video4linux drivers that come with
recent
2.4.x kernels.
Basically, my conundrum is, that while the gallery page i grabbed
the
picture link mentions a card very similar to mine, it doesn't
mention
what settings i should use to get it working, so all i can get is
video,
not audio (via one of the composite inputs)
I've tried all the phillips tuners mentioned in the CARDLIST
file, but
whenever i try to tune the FM radio (using the 'radio' program,
or
'gradio' or 'fmtools, it doesn't matter which one) the program
claims
that it's tuned, and that i have stereo, but the audio plug at
the back
doesn't make a single sound.
I'm not completely sure if i should be using card=50, 70 or 72
however,
or if i need to specify the tuner explicitly, or if i just
somehow have
the volume on it turned down (gradio suggests i've got it at
100%)
the tuner's markings (it's a phillips tuner as i mentioned
before) are:
3139 147 13371L
FM1216/PH hm
SV22 9848
and the brooktree chipset used is
bt878KHF
25878-12
C40108.6
9820
This is in australia, so it's definently a PAL card, and i'm
pretty sure
there isn't an eeprom on my model of the card, (basically, the
missing
chip in the picture linked is also missing on mine.)
Can anyone give me a couple of tips as to where i should be
looking to
fix my lack-of-audio problem? i'm not completely sure what to try
(it's
definently loading the tuner driver via i2c in a few instances,
and i've
got btaudio loaded (although i'm fairly sure that's for capture,
not
tuning)
i'm making sure that i set radio=1 as well.
Thanks for any tips you can give me,
Andrew Pilley
