From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When I run xawtv under gnome in RH8.0, I get the TV but no sound. I have a Fly '98 TV card and I have installed it manually in /etc/modules.conf, under previous versions of RH I didn't get this problem. Under another apps, for example xmms, I don't have any problem with sound. My sound card is SB PCI64 with ess1370 (I guess) chipset. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH 8.0 with gnome 2.Install a bt878 Fly '98 TV card in /etc/modules.conf 3.run 'xawtv' Actual Results: I don't get the sound of the TV. Expected Results: This was not the case under RH 7.1-7.3 Additional info: I don't get any error messages or nothing seems to be wrong.
These are the lines I have added to /etc/modules.conf : options bttv pll=1 radio=1 card=56 options tuner type=5 post-install bttv /sbin/modprobe "-k" tuner; \ /sbin/modprobe "-k" msp3400
Same here. I also have a bt878 card, and my modules.conf (the relevant part) looks like: alias char-major-81-1 bttv options bttv card=41 radio=1 (I also have a webcam, hence the 81-1). I had no problem whatsoever under 7.1, 2 or 3.
Bill, i think it's something wrong in modules.conf, but i cannot fix it because i don't have this hardware for testing. It works for me with Hauppauge (bt848).
Hm, in 7.x, did it automatically load btaudio for you?
I discovered that the (my) problem is with gnome sound mixer. When I do a fresh install and don't ever run mixer, everything runs fine. I can adjust the sound with the sound applet on gnome panel. But when i run the mixer, just one time, i can never get the sound with xawtv back. So this is a workaround and my system runs now fine.
This bug doesn't seem to be exist on RH 9. Mixer and xawtv run both properly, at least on my configuration, which i have described above.
If this is fixed in RH9, I'm going to close. Please reopen if you can reproduce in FC2.
