The difference between the pro and non-pro versions of the miro/pinnacle cards is that the "pro" ones have a msp3400 chip and the others don't. I suspect what happens is that the bttv driver doesn't find the msp34xx for some reason, thus handles the card as non-pro version. Which will work just fine, the only difference is that the sound routed to the line-out isn't the stereo signal from the msp34xx but the mono signal from the tuner chip. It isn't that obvious that the card isn't handled correctly because you will get sound, it just isn't a stereo signal ... Without msp34xx being programmed correctly the chances that btaudio works are close to zero. With msp34xx it might work, I don't know for sure. Are there any messages from the msp3400 module in the syslog? What happens if you try to load it manually? Gerd -- /join #zonenkinder
