Created attachment 349003 [details] alsa-info output Description of problem: saa7134-alsa tvcard isn't listed by pavucontrol. There is no way to redirect the output of the TV card to the sound card. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a computer with saa7134 TVcard 2. Run pavucontrol Actual results: pulseaudio output: E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id=1 name=pci_1131_7133_sound_card_0 card_name=alsa_card.pci_1131_7133_sound_card_0 tsched=1"): initialization failed. Expected results: No error in pulseaudio. Being able to listen to the TV
Please run "pulseaudio -vvvvv" in a terminal (run pulseaudio -k first to kill the running instance) and paste the output here, please.

Which version of the PA package is this? 0.9.15-14? Or -10? If it is not -14, could you please update and retry with -14?
I am already using pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.x86_64 Currently I have to run "sox -q -r 32000 -t alsa hw:1,0 -t alsa default &; tvtime &" to get both TV audio and video
Are ou sure the pulseaudio -vvv ouput you posted is from -14?

The "pulseaudio -vvvvv" output was really from -14.
This seems to be a driver bug. snd_pcm_hw_params() fails, printing I: (alsa-lib)pcm_hw.c: SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed. No clue what happens there. REassigning to kernel.

TV sound can be turn on/off using pavucontrol in Output Devices/Internal Audio mute button. The sound volume is the same even if using the volume slider.

REassigning to kernel. This seem to be driver issue since the hw_params callback of saa7134 still reject some of hw_params (period and period_size) , the driver should put this constraints either at snd_pcm_hardware snd_card_saa7134_capture or snd_card_saa7134_capture_open() http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=blob;f=drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-alsa.c static int snd_card_saa7134_hw_params(struct snd_pcm_substream * substream, struct snd_pcm_hw_params * hw_params) { ... period_size = params_period_bytes(hw_params); periods = params_periods(hw_params); if (period_size < 0x100 || period_size > 0x10000) return -EINVAL; if (periods < 4) return -EINVAL; if (period_size * periods > 1024 * 1024) return -EINVAL;
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
