Hi Cyrus,
Very weird. Did this happen before or did this pop up only recently?
Anyway, you can get the current mute setting with:
v4l2-ctl -C mute
and set it with:
v4l2-ctl -c mute=0 (or mute=1)
I'm very interested to know what the mute setting is once the capture
mutes: it is partially controlled by the audio digitizer: if it cannot
detect the tuner audio signal it will mute automatically. This is
independent of the mute control setting. So if the status log says muted,
but the control setting is still unmuted, then it is likely to be related
to the audio detection.
The 'app not reading fast enough' errors mean just that, you are not
reading fast enough. It has no relation to this mute problem. The Invalid
PGM index warnings are harmless and also have no relationship to this
problem (AFAIK).
Regards,
Hans
