I have the exact same card (purchased it today by the Aldi in the NL). I'm running Linux 2.6.0-test6-mm4, which comes with version 0.2.8 of the saa7134 driver. When I load the saa7134 driver without parameters, I get no image in xawtv, so I experimented a bit with different card=X options. I found that card=9 works pretty well, with both overlay and grabdisplay. I can actually watch a bit of TV. However, none of the card options gives me sound. I get either complete silence or static. Sometimes, on some channels, I can hear - very very faintly - the TV through the static. When I load the saa7134 module with card=9, I get the following kernel messages: Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.8 loaded Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: saa7134[0]: found at 0000:01:09.0, rev: 1, irq: 5, latency: 32, mmio: 0xec001000 Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: saa7134[0]: subsystem: 1461:a70b, board: Medion 5044 [card=9,insmod option] Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 61 14 0b a7 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 10: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 20: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: tuner: chip found @ 0xc2 Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: tuner: type set to 38 (Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FM1216ME MK3)) Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: registering 0-0061 Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: tda9887: chip found @ 0x86 Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: tuner: type already set (38) Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: registering 0-0043 Oct 9 23:49:57 something kernel: videodev: "saa7134-video" has no release callback.

My speakers are connected directly to the audio-output of the TV card. Someone on http://www.linux-community.de/Neues/story?storyid=8736 seems to have the same problem. Someone else suggests using card=5, but that doesn't help for me. I also tried to saa7134-20031009 snapshot from http://bytesex.org/saa7134/, but that yielded the same results. > Check "lspci" command and report here what it says about multimedia devices. > With drivers loaded and not.

Well, I guess it's a TV card :P
