I am setting up a new rig to run MythTV. I have MythTV
running fine now with video and audio. When I moved on
to getting the remote to work I ran into a problem I
have not been able to figure out. Any help would be
appreciated.
In short, I had to add
options bttv audiomux=0xff44e
to modules.conf in order to get MythTV to run without
locking up. But adding that option completely screws
up the remote control.
I read on the web that some people were having
problems
getting SAP audio with the AVerTV cards. After trying
in vain to solve my MythTV lockup problems I decided
to try that bttv option on a whim (even though I had
finally gotten my audio working fine). Lo and behold
that option fixed the MythTV lockup problem. I have
no idea why.
The remote control, on the other hand works fine
*without* that bttv option but is totally screwed up
with that option. Button presses are recognized as the
wrong keys and even holding down one key will get
recognized as different keys being pressed.
So there is obviously something wring here. I don't
think I should really need that bttv option. But
MythTV locks up without it.
Here are a bunch of details. I am pretty much lost
amongst all of the interactions between the parts.
I can supply any further details that may help.
Hardware:
A7N266-VM motherboard
Athlon XP 2100+ CPU
onboard sound, net
Asus AGP-V7700 GeForce2 video card
I would like to use the onboard sound eventually
AVerTV Studio Deluxe TV card
I am using gentoo linux and building most of the
software using gentoo portage packages.

alsa-utils-0.9.2
alsa-tools-0.9.1
bttv - 0.7.96
the avertv card is autodetected as card=41

Thanks for reading this far.
