WinTV GO-Plus no sound
I have Suse Linux 10 and a Hauppauge WinTV GO-Plus TV tuner card. I used kdetv and it scanned my channels and everything seems to work fine except that I have no sound. I have sound in Linux with everything else so I know that the sound card is fine. The card also works under Windows so I know that the card is fine. From what I have seen the card should work in Linux.
I have two sound cards on the computer, an integrated one and a PCI SoundBlaster. I 'removed' the integrated one but is it possible that it is causing the problem? Thanks. Todd |
Some TV cards need to be connected to the sound card with an external jumper cable (usually supplied with the unit). Otherwise...
I think this card is using the bttv driver. You can check for this in the output of 'lsmod'. This needs to be loaded with the correct options for this particular model. There is documentation for using the driver in the kernel source code (file Documentation/video4linux/bttv) and also at the home site for the driver (www.bytesex.org). Another posssibility is that sound is coming in on some channel which is currently muted. You could play with alsamixer and see if anything is there. You may have to set the capture as well as output channel. |
I appreciate the reply. I did lsmod and found this:
Code:
tparks@linux:~> lsmod | grep bttv You mention that it has to be loaded with the correct options and then mention: Quote:

I have a Wintv GO and I use the jumper.

I have the jumper installed also and it works under Windows so that would tell me that it is a software issue (drivers?) under Linux.

I went to http://www.bytesex.org/ trying to find the above mentioned driver for my TV tuner card and found this on the page:
