What modules do you have loaded and any other info is much appreciated. I am using an older Hauppauge WinTV BT848 under Mandrake 8.1 and I had a problem just like yours. I found the following mini-HowTo very useful : http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/BTTV.html Here are the entries that I added to /etc/modules.conf : alias char-major-81 bttv pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner; modprobe -k tda9875 options bttv card=2 options tuner type=2 It works great now.

Re: [expert] WinTV Card LM8.2 - No Tuner No Sound
Thank you very much! That did it! It works. Out of curiosity, what do you have listed in your /etc/modules? Also, do you have an FM tuner on yours? And what application do you use for FM?

No, but I do have an old Reveal(tm) FM radio card in an ISA slot. I had to experiment a bit to find the right module for it and the correct io address. I ended up with : alias radio radio-aimslab options radio-aimslab io=0x30c in /etc/modules.conf. At least on Mandrake 8.1, the radio card modules are in : /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/media/radio Change the '2.4.8-26mdk' to your kernel version. The same HowTo that I mentioned earlier was helpful with the FM card also. And what application do you use for FM? radiotrack 2.0 - You can get it here : http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/apps/sound/radio-cards/radiotrack-2.0.tar.gz I gave up trying to find a gui app to work the radio. I did find some but either they were ancient history or just wouldn't build easily enough for my short attention span ;-) . I may write a simple graphical front-end for radiotrack when I get time. In the mean time I am using a row of buttons on a 'Child Bar' to execute shell commands such as: $ radio on $ radio off $ radio KUAT etc. KevinO Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
