I have been using Gentoo for about a year now on servers. Last week I decided to turn my WinXP system into a dual-boot Gentoo/WinXP setup. I've since been installing lots of software and customizing things. I like to figure stuff out on my own if I can but I am however currently stumped with a TV tuner software issue.
I have the Asus a7v333 motherboard with onboard sound, it has the the CMedia 8738 chipset: > grep audio /proc/pci Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 16). I have a pci TV tuner card with the Brooktree 878 chipset: > grep Capture /proc/pci Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 2). Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 2). My sound works great alone, applications like xmms play and all, but I cannot hear any sound from my TV tuner applications. I have xawtv and mythtv installed, both work but with no sound. Here are my modules currently: > lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P floppy 47708 0 (autoclean) uhci 24624 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 14056 0 (unused) serial 49092 0 (unused) isa-pnp 28260 0 [serial] tuner 9856 1 (autoclean) tvaudio 12764 0 (autoclean) (unused) msp3400 15884 1 (autoclean) bttv 74016 0 btaudio 10540 0 (unused) usbcore 57600 1 [uhci ehci-hcd] nvidia 1627456 11 8139too 14632 1 mii 2160 0 [8139too] I am using the 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 kernel. I have reconfiured it many different ways, trying all the related drivers as modules or not. Nothing I try seems to work. I even tried using a generic 2.4.22 kernel over the past couple of days but am not getting any further. Anyone know what I might try to change or install or reconfigure to get sound working with my TV applications? Thanks, -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
