Hi! I have the same card and my experience is that there is some "non-deterministic" behaviour. One uptime stereo sound just works, the next it does not. I guess the original audio clock definition is ok. I could imagine that some additional step in initializing the card could be necessary... To be more concrete: One time I get the following audio debug info: Sep 3 20:53:25 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: tvaudio thread scan start [115] Sep 3 20:53:26 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: scanning 5.500 MHz => dc is 19019 [-9584/9435] Sep 3 20:53:26 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: scanning 6.000 MHz => dc is 3710 [543/-3167] Sep 3 20:53:27 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: scanning 6.500 MHz => dc is 136 [35/-101] Sep 3 20:53:27 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: ctl_mute=0 automute=0 input=Television => mute=0 input=Television Sep 3 20:53:27 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: found PAL-BGHI main sound carrier @ 5.500 MHz Sep 3 20:53:27 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: tvaudio_setmode: trying PAL-B/G FM-stereo [5.500/5.742 MHz] Sep 3 20:53:28 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: found audio subchannels: mono Sep 3 20:53:28 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: tvaudio_setmode: using PAL-B/G FM-stereo [5.500/5.742 MHz] Sep 3 20:53:30 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: found audio subchannels: mono Sep 3 20:53:31 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: found audio subchannels: mono After cold-starting the machine some other time I get: Sep 3 21:16:56 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: tvaudio thread scan start [2] Sep 3 21:16:57 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: scanning 5.500 MHz => dc is 0 [0/0] Sep 3 21:16:57 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: scanning 6.000 MHz => dc is 0 [0/0] Sep 3 21:16:58 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: scanning 6.500 MHz => dc is 0 [0/0] Sep 3 21:16:58 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: ctl_mute=0 automute=0 input=Radio => mute=0 input=Radio Sep 3 21:16:58 bird kernel: saa7134[0]/audio: found PAL-BGHI main sound carrier @ 0.000 MHz Which definitely looks not that good... I don't know what this behaviour depends on...
