TV Card - Lifeview FlyDVB-T Duo Cardbus - No Sound
Last modified: 2018-11-22 18:34:24 UTC
The system is a Thinkpad T42. The TV card is recognised, but it has some problems. Most importantly - there's NO SOUND. I tried both alsa and oss, I tried to play with all available mixer channels, but to no avail.
Please provide more information (hwinfo). And what are the problems exactly besides sound? Normally TV-cards have an extra sound-out or it is looped through somehow. Does the card itself work (can you watch TV?).
Created attachment 50034 [details] hwinfo The analog TV part works, but I can't change the channels in kdetv with V4L2. With V4L I can change the channel, but I have to set "prefer video overlay if available" in the V4L settings, otherwise I get an error ("Video display is not possible with the current plugin configuration blah blah"). However, in this case I get a lot of flickering and strange lines all over the screen when I move the kdetv window. In tvtime everything is fine (except sound, of course). I tried all the mixer channels in KMix, but nothing works.
Can you reproduce this with 10.2? Sascha if yes then please have a look at this.
I cannot reproduce this without such a card. Please reopen if you have such a card and want to do some more investigations. According to http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-April/001229.html sound did not even work for the person that added support for the card.
