My dmesg file is useless because the driver of my tv card keeps adding lines to it. Does this mean there is something wrong with the settings?
The TV card is a Multimedia video controller: Conexant Winfast TV2000 XP (rev 05), according to lspci. I use a 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 kernel.
These are the loaded modules:
Code:
Module                  Size  Used by
snd_seq                54736  0
snd_via82xx            27552  3
snd_ac97_codec         77240  1 snd_via82xx
snd_pcm                93576  3 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer              25668  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          9924  2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart         8064  1 snd_via82xx
snd_rawmidi            23296  1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device          8908  2 snd_seq,snd_rawmidi
snd                    51512  13 snd_seq,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
via_agp                 9472  1
agpgart                34344  1 via_agp
vfat                   14208  1
fat                    41952  1 vfat
tda9887                13528  0
tuner                  22052  0
cx8800                 31308  0
cx88xx                 49620  1 cx8800
i2c_algo_bit            9928  1 cx88xx
video_buf              21892  2 cx8800,cx88xx
v4l1_compat            14340  1 cx8800
v4l2_common             5760  1 cx8800
btcx_risc               4808  2 cx8800,cx88xx
videodev                9920  2 cx8800,cx88xx
rtc                    12536  0

This is a part of dmesg, there is no other information in it.
Code:
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1bf2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1bb2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1c32 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1cb2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1bb2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1c32 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1bf2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1b72 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1bf2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1bb2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1b72 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1bf2 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO
cx88[0]/0: AUD_STATUS: 0x1c32 [mono/no pilot] ctl=BTSC_AUTO_STEREO

If I need to include more information, please ask :)

I somehow have the feeling bumping posts is inappropriate.

The question I have is purely a kernel question. At what forums can I ask questions like this? Is there perhaps a site with documentation about the driver?

Thanks in advance.

I finally found some info about this:

These are debug messages which can be disabled with the audio_debug
module parameter:
/sbin/modprobe cx8800 audio_debug=0

When I do that I get the message:
Code:
cx8800: Unknown parameter `audio_debug'
and
Code:
cx8800: Unknown parameter `debug'
when I try "debug=0".
And then I even found someone reporting it to work:

I finally got sound output using the latest video4linux drivers by passing the debug=1 option to the cx8800 module. Thanks to Gerd Knorr for that. I'm not sure your prob is related to this or your alsa config. Physically, I have a small audio cable that runs from the backplane of the card into the line-in socket so there's very little chance of confusion there.


I have tried
Code:
/sbin/modprobe cx8800 audio_debug = 0
/sbin/modprobe cx8800 audio_debug=0
/sbin/modprobe cx8800 'audio_debug=0'
/sbin/modprobe cx8800 "audio_debug=0"
/sbin/modprobe cx8800 debug=0
but no results but the 'unknown parameter" error.
Where can I find info about what parameters are known? The docs that come with the kernel tell me nothing about the parameters, and neither does the author's site.
