Moving to the kernel bugzilla area, as the ivtv package doesn't carry the kernel modules anymore. Ew. That's gross. Might need to get reported upstream on the linux-media list. I'll send something that direction in the morning. In the morning, in three weeks, whatever. :\ Finally got a mail off to the linux-media mailing list, will see if anyone has any ideas... From Hans Verkuil, upstream ivtv maintainer (among other things):
Urgh. cx25840_loadfw() in cx25840_firmware.c contains this code:
if (state->is_cx23885)
firmware = FWFILE_CX23885;
else if (state->is_cx231xx)
firmware = FWFILE_CX231XX;
Unfortunately firmware is a global string module option, initially setup to
contain the 'normal' cx25840 firmware name.
So loading a cx23885 or a cx231xx will overwrite that string and if ivtv is
loaded afterwards it tries to load the wrong firmware.
Sigh...
I'll see if I have time to fix this today or tomorrow.
Steven Toth has posted a patch that ought to fix this. Relatively simple fix (2-line addition to cx25840_firmware.c), I've added to the F10 and F11 kernel cvs trees. Not built yet though. And now Hans has a slightly more involved, more complete fix. I'll put this version onto 2.6.30.x for F11 and rawhide later tonight. This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Thanks Jarod,
Now I'm using kernel 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.x86_64. I just undid my work around, and I'm still getting sound. Looks like the more involved complete fix worked fine.
