TV Tuner ATI TV Wonder PCI problem on Red Hat 9.0

haro · 11-17-2003, 09:26 AM

Hi everyone,

I have problems with my TV Tuner card ( ATI TV Wonder PCI ). I use Red Hat 9.0 with installed bttv and video4linux drivers. The program for watching TV that i use is TvTime. I have tuned all the channels but still have no sound. I have checked cables from Tv Tuners Audio out to my sound card ( VIA soundboard ..it's integrated on my motherboard) and everything is ok. Sound card is working perfectly under Linux ... my problem is that i still have no sound from the tuner card ( the tuner works perfectly under Windows XP ). Can anyone help ?

Welcome to LQ.

You have checked that the cable is in place, but have you checked that the line-in volume is up? (I am presuming you plug the cable into the line-in of your soundcard)

Hi Thymox,
Tank you for your reply. I have checked and sound mixer volume and it was up. I have fixed the problem by myself. It was some problem with recognition of my tv tuner card. I fixed the bbtv driver setings and i have television with sound.

I'm running RedHat 9 with an ATI TV Wonder VE card. The card works with dscaler on win2k(dual boot system). I have tried to install tvtime using the redhat 9 rpm. That doesn't seem to do anything. I then tried to build it form the source. That fails the ./configure step with

checking for X... no
configure: error: X needed and no X libraries or development headers found

I'm running Xfree86 4.3.0. with an ATI Radeon 9500Pro. I guess I need the X libraries????? This is like a sharp stick in the eye.

Any help is appreciated,
Nate

I have no problems to install tvtime from rpm
I have allys do check furst nad then iinstall
the command is:
[haro@rudeboy]#rpm -ivh tvtime*.i386.rpm --test

then if everything is ok i run it without that "--test" option
when i install it for the first time it was ok for me ...
i am not shure that this will help

You need the X headers. They come in the devel package, XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2.9.43.i386.rpm (assuming you have installed the security updates). You can download it from ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/

Isn't tvtime wonderful? That Billy Biggs rocks.

> my problem is that i still have no sound from the tuner card

My ATI wonder is pretty quiet. I have to turm my stereo way up. It isn't funny when I forget to turn it down, and hit a radio button.

The command line mixer is aumix. I recommend turnning them all to full up (except the microphone) for testing. If you are using the gnome graphical panel (Redhat->Sound&Video->VolumeControl), make sure the mute checkboxes are unchecked. IMHO, graying out each mixing slider would make muting harder to miss.
