Just tried, language switching works for me (Its a bit hard > to test/debug for me as it is rarely used in germany, but right now > I'm happily watching arte in french using a Pinnacle card ...). > > You have to make sure _not_ to use Xvideo through because that option > isn't available with Xvideo ... > well right, it is hard to test since there aren't that many shows sent that way .. what I can tell you is that right now there is a show being broadcast in stereo right now, and looking at the audio-signal in envy24control, I see it as a stereo-signal allright. When I switch to "mono" in xawtv, the card immediately mutes the audio (even though I have "automute" set to off). When I unmute it again, and look at the audio signal in envy24control, it still looks like a stereo signal .. definitely not like the signal of e.g. a mono radio station .. so .. somebody once mentioned that the connections between the board and the msp3400 chip are different on the pinnacle and the hauppauge card? someone on this list talked about doing a little soldering experiment but never returned to talk about the result, iirc. I'd be curious about that. -- Michael Hellwig aka The Eye olymp.idle.at admin check out http://homepage.uibk.ac.at/~csaa5128 for gpg public key and don't hesitate to look at http://laerm.or.at
