Please somebody help me

... I'm strugling for this card to work for centuries.

I have the following in my kernel:

Code:

 <*> I2C support                                                                        
  │ │ <*>   I2C device interface             
  │ │ --- I2C bit-banging interfaces                                                      
  │ │ <*> I2C PCF 8584 interfaces                                                        
  │ │ <*> I2C PCA 9564 interfaces          

 <*> Video For Linux    
 │ │ <*> Conexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support                          
 │ │ <*> Add support for additional audio chipsets

and this is some output:

Code:

I can tune channels but I don't have any sound! ... In windows my tv-card gets the sound from cd-in ...
Can u please tell me how to set it ?
I would really appreciate some help.

Using alsa for the sound system? If so run the alsamixer as normal user then unmute and raise the volume on the cd-in.

rrr-jr · 07-09-2006, 12:18 PM

that's the first thing anybody would do !

I did that ... now I've seen that I get sound but it's very quiet and my tuned channels are seen kinda garbage ....
Is that from the drivers?

Yes it is you should try to get the lastest kernel/drivers contained in it installed and see if it helps. BTW there is a mailing list at LinuxTV you may want to send an email there and see if some of the developers can help.

ok, i have the same problem pretty much but i have to admit i do not know about everything being talked about here. I tried to use kdetv after installing bttv drivers. It scans and picks up the channels fine, just no sound at all...

now i see that HappyTux said something about alsomixer. I dont have much of a clue about the settings for sound in the linux enironment. I do have windows set up as dual boot so i can check settings in working order, but my goal is to get linux to do it all so i can kick the windows out. So if anyone has some suggestions on why i cant get any sound, please do tell, and remember, please try to break it down

rrr-jr, if you could tell me how to get little sound, i would much appreciate, little sound is better than none.

I haven't been able to get any sound lately so i'm sorry but i can't help you.
