 |
|
I recently installed an Hauppauge WinTV-Radio (model 401, kernel module cx8800) in my computer. The TV tuner works perfectly (image and sound). I tried to make the radio tuner work with gnomeradio and kradio, but it doesn't : Once the application is started, I only hear the same continuous noise (it is not the noise you hear when there is no radio station on the choosen frequency). Changing the frequency does not have an effect on the noise, it is always the same.
I checked with dmesg and the radio tuner is detected (/dev/radio0).
An idea?
Note : it works on Windows |

I would love to know how, I tried with gradio and xmms-radio plugin but no look too,
* sorry for offtopic, but how did you make your cx8800 working perfectly? my card with cx8800 works with really bad image quality for some channels. there was an update of cx88?

I must mention that I have the cx8800 driver builtin the kernel (not has a module).
I put the part of dmesg relevant to cx8800 :
| Code: | cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.5 loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

I do not see anything wrong since the radio tuner is mapped to /dev/radio0.
I have tested again with gnomeradio today and now I think the problem is that the radio tuner is always listening at the same frequency and the frequency slider in gnome radio does not really change it. I say that because today I can hear sometime noise and sometime the guys who are removing the snow in the streets of the city talking to each other using CBs....! When I try to change the frequency, it does nothing, always listening to the same guys.
For antiwmac : I am only using channel 3 because I use the output of my numerical cable decoder as input (it use channel 3). I cannot say for quality of other channels since I don't have analog cable. |

now I am facing the same problem. Tvtime works perfectly, but no gnomeradio output for a cx8800 card.
Edit: Now I see what happened. Kernel 2.6.25-r1 is broken for cx8800 fm radio support. |
