hi there ppl i got a analogue wintv go with fm card (i think). It has radio for sure, 1x composite-in, audio out, and an IR. I run ubuntu hardy 64bit system. tvtime xawtv etc work without a problem, only i can't adjust the volume from within the applications. I have atm the line out of my tv card connected to the line-in of my soundcard. That's how i get my audio from my tv card. In my old computer however, with the same tv card and ubuntu feisty i got it working to get the audio from the tvcard itself and not using the line-in of my soundcard, but i have no idea how i got that working, i only know it took me while. Can someone help me with that please? here is some info about my system: uname -r 2.6.24-16-generic lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express DRAM Controller (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express PCI Express Root Port (rev 02) 00:03.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express MEI Controller (rev 02) 00:03.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express PT IDER Controller (rev 02) 00:03.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Serial KT Controller (rev 02) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 92) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801IO (ICH9DO) LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801IR/IO/IH (ICH9R/DO/DH) 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS (rev a1) 03:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) 03:00.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 02) lspci -v | grep a4 Brooktree 03:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.
