The "options bttv" line in /etc/modules.conf.
> Here's the config in my /etc/modules.conf: Is that all you need to do? I'm a bit of a newbie with regards to getting into the internals of Linux like *this* so my impression is that after this you also need to do some recompiling of the kernel modules, is that correct? I looked into this (based on what I saw in the archives) and my kernel doesn't allow loading modules. So I'd have to recompile my kernel (SuSE 8.1) which I'm not too keen on doing right now as it works with everything else. I'd be more inclined to return the card, really.
I don't think you have to recompile your kernel, unless you want to do things like upgrading V4L/V4L2. If you want to upgrade bttv, you also need the kernel sources. IIRC, a kernel recompile is not necessary. Just "make menuconfig" and "make dep" should be enough.
bttv is typically compiled as a module. You should find bttv.o somewhere under /lib/modules, or just use "/sbin/modinfo bttv" to check.
Back to the original question. :) 1. Last time I forgot to say this. In my case (I use xawtv), "stereo" mode plays "stereo+sap" channels, "lang1" plays the "stereo" channel. (I haven't check whether it's really stereo or mono, though. :)) So, you might want to try different 'audio mode' if KWinTV have the option. 2. To make "stereo" mode outputs "stereo", try to modify the parameters as I suggest in my last message. Do this (as root): 1. unload the modules first /sbin/rmmod bttv /sbin/rmmod tuner /sbin/rmmod videodev /sbin/rmmod tvaudio /sbin/rmmod i2c-algo-bit /sbin/rmmod i2c-core 2. edit /etc/modules.conf 3. /sbin/depmod -a 4. Try it. :) Hope this helps.
