no sound from tv card


Posts: 1

hi, new simply Mepis 3.3 user switching from fedora core 3.
I have a saa7134 tv card. I got it to work with Mepis but I can't hear any sound. all cables are connected correctly. In Kmix, line-in is on.
I have no idea why the sound in tv is not working. I can still listen to music so I know the sound card is OK.
any help is greately appreciated.

Tv card

what chip is in the tv card?
there will be different solutions for different chips

Use tvtime. Experiment until

Use tvtime.

Experiment until you find the right parameters for the bttv module.
On my Pixelview card I have to use 2.4 kernel because autodetection gets it all wrong and the 2.6 kernel insists on autodetection...

bttv inappropriate

this will most likely use saa713x driver.
tvtime is a very reliable tv front end
what is the exact version of the tv card (brand name etc) and what comes up in /var/log/dmesg?
