Pinnacle PCTV/Studio Rave help

emamarro · 03-28-2007, 07:24 AM

I updated distro version and I'm trying to re-install a tvcard miro pctv pci which has been worked on kernel 2.6.12 with no problems with bttv options card=39 tuner=0

I'm not able to make it work on kernel
2.6.18.6

I'm gettin a lot of "not found" by i2c..
What should I try?
Thanks for help! Ciaoo

Hey,

did you solve your issues with the Pinnacle PCTV/Studio Rave card? I own the same card and I ran into the same problems (no sound, but screen) and am currently working on it.

Do you start the module bttv with certain options? Because my card is running with tuner=33

Here's my kernel output:

Code:

$ dmesg | grep bttv
bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffffff [init]
bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found
bttv0: pinnacle/mt: id=1 info="PAL / mono" radio=no
bttv0: using tuner=33
bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found

bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found
bttv0: registered device video0
bttv0: registered device vbi0
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok

EDIT: I just checked MSP34xx. It is statically in the kernel. I'm about to compile the kernel with MSP34xx as module.

BTW: Everytime I start Linux I have to run alsaconf to choose the onboard sound card to get sound working. I know it has something to do with the two soundcards in my machine but I couldn't solve the problem yet.

Hi,

Did you try without any options? My pci pctv card works (it's on its last legs, so I'm not sure if 'works' is the appropriate phrase) under Ubuntu 7.04 without any modifications.

If you have both onboard sound and a soundcard, choose the one you want to use from now on. The one you don't want, if it's the onboard sound, disable it in the BIOS menu. If you don't want the soundcard, remove it from the computer. Trouble arises with two soundcards installed and enabled.

Hi,

thanks for your reply.
No I've got just onboard sound and the multimedia controller of the tv card. This is, what I first (after reboot) have to configure using alsaconf. I couldn't make alsa recognising my card without configuring at each system start. This was the first problem I haven't solved yet.

With a few workarounds (found in the web and on LQ) I've got TV including fullscreen and sound:

1: alsaconf -> activating soundcard
2: rmmod bttv; rmmod bt878; modprobe bttv;
3: running xawtv as xawtv -c /dev/video0 -remote -global:filter "linear blend"

I'm still trying to find a solution for the first two steps, because this shouldn't be standard. Xawtv once ran on my computer without the long line in 3, but I realised an alias, so I don't mind.

Did I mention, that I run Debian Etch? "Soundcards" are
