Hello, I have read many threads dealing with the ‘tinny audio’
issue when using the PVR 500 and ivtv. While I am glad to report that issuing
a `ivtvctl –d /dev/videoN
(where X = 0 or 1) –q 0`
does work to clear up the problem, it does not always work. Many threads I read seem to indicate that issuing that
command seems to act as a toggle and only needed once, but this has not been my
experience. For example, I might issue that command 5 times, and I might
note an improvement on the first attempt, or the second or the fifth, with no
way of determining which will actually work. I was only able to use the
ivtvctl as a toggle once. Only once did I turn off and on the tinny audio by
issuing that command with any regularity. I restarted mythfrontend, and was
back to the random issue I seem to be having. Also, once I do clear up the
tinny audio, it seems to stick, until I change the channel. Sometimes I can
change the channel 5 times before the tinny audio returns, sometimes it returns
even sooner. I have checked, and I am using either video1 or video0 during the
entire test…so its not like I am switching tuners and experiencing the
problem. Given the apparent randomness, there is no way I script a
solution…does anyone have any similar tales or (even better) a solution?
Is there more information I should be posting? I am running Ubuntu 2.6.12, and
ivtv 0.4.5 (was happening with 0.4.4, but I saw the release notes for 0.4.5 and
they claimed to have improved the tinny audio problem) Thanks in advance for any insight someone may be able to
provide. John -- |
