Fm radio problems (saa7134)


I have Asus P7131 Hybrid Tvtuner card, with radio, DVB-T and tv-analog tuner.
This one: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.ph...a-P7131_Hybrid

The modules are loaded fine, no errors in dmesg, DVB-T, and analog-tv works, but radio is having issues.
I use radio application from xawtv, and also fm tools, but none of them is working properly.
When i fire up radio, it tunes to 1.04MHZ, and i hear sound noise (like when radio isn't tuned). If i tune to another frequency, let's say 88.0Mhz, i hear the radio station sound for 1-2 seconds, and then the tuner tunes back to 1.04Mhz.
Same applies for fm tools. I tune with command fm 88.0 on, tuner tunes in the apropriate radio station for a few seconds and then it goes back to noise.

You can see it here as well:
Code:
#v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --all

        Available subchannels: mono 
                           mute (bool)   : default=0 value=0
The frequency of the tuner is 1.040000 MHz, but the range of the tuner is between 65 and 108 as it should be.
Does anyone has any idea of what to do?
