OK, more info.. Tried using ivtv-0.3.7g.
Sound or Video, but not both!!
Here is my /etc/modprobe.conf
options saa7127 i2c_enable=-1,-1,-1,-1
options cx25840 cardtype=7 i2c_enable=1,1,1,1 cx25840_debug=255
options wm8775 mixer=2
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=57,57,57,57
Boot system, load ivtv driver using cardtype=7, I see no video or audio.
Change /etc/modprobe.conf to load cardtype=1, rmmod the 3 drivers,
ivtv, tuner, and , and re modprobe ivtv.
Now I can see video only, no sound.
Change /etc/modprobe.conf to load cardtype=7 again, rmmod and re
modprobe ivtv.
Now I can hear audio, but no video..
Strange. Digging into source code, I think I stumbled on something.
"cx25840-driver.c" line 1039 of 1120
Where you switch(cardtype), you set only cardtype=1 to
pg600_input_layout.
Looking on my card, and pulling back the tuner label, I found the
following, which
makes me believe this card is a pg600 type, and should be set
appropriately here for cardtype=7.
This is not the only change needed, as I tried, and it still failed to
set all up.. :)
I have a Diamond XtremeTV PVR550.
PG-600 Rev:1.0
Tuner PG600V100520000853
Under label is Q1236/F
The MPEG II encoder chip is a Conexant CX23416-12
The other chip (smaller one), assuming sound.. is a CX25843-23
Tuning appears to work fine in all scenarios I tested using the ptune-ui
script.
Hans, can you please confirm, and someone let me know where to go from
here...
It works, just not at the same time.. :)
Watching TV when in video mod seems to run fine via mplayer of /dev/video0.
But using MythTV, when I try to watch live TV, it hangs after 5 seconds...??
Is this ivtv problem, or is Myth going into the card and messing it up??
It appears a recording, then playback works, of course without sound at
this point...
Here is the logs of my 3 load/unloads of the above series.

Last test, audio works only, no video!!

ivtv-0.3.3k worked fine, using cx25840 tunercard=2.
Using mplayer and tune util you have, able to get sound and video
working.
Problems with MythTV interfacing to it, shows 5 seconds, then hangs...
So I upgraded.
Now in ivtv-0.3.7d,
Using mplayer and tune util..
Sound works if tunercard=1, video works if tunercard=2.
Not firing up MythTV until I resolve mplayer spliting out the MPEG
stream.
Any ideas how to resolve, or is this just a bleading edge card I need
to debug...
