Hi; Alsa seems unable to find my audio analog chip set; put another way Ican't get any sound from analog cable tv with tvtime -- apparentlybecause alsa is not providing the sound. The TV video is great.On the other hand, mplayer /dev/video1 gives me good sound but adistorted picture. If this sounds wishy-washy, it is because over the last several days Ihave visited so many mailing lists (other that this one) and received somuch advice that even the few things I thought I knew about sound andsound hardware has become very confused. Succinctly, my problem is: I have an integrated Audio Controller on a Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L motherboard with PCIe bus: product: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [8086:27D8] vendor: Intel Corporation [8086] bus info: pci@0000:00:1b.0 version: 01 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: Power Management, Message Signalled Interrupts, PCI Express, bus mastering, PCI capabilities listing configuration: driver: HDA Intel latency: 0 resources: irq: 16 memory: e5300000-e5303fff ]$ lsmod | grep hdasnd_hda_codec_realtek 265060 1 snd_hda_intel 29000 0 snd_hda_codec 65376 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intelsnd_hwdep 8600 1 snd_hda_codecsnd_pcm 79352 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codecsnd 65096 6snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_\hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer ]$ lspci -vv 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) HighDefinition Audio Controller (rev 01)Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device a002Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort-<MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytesInterrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16Region 0: Memory at e5300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]Capabilities: <access denied>Kernel driver in use: HDA IntelKernel modules: snd-hda-intel ]$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xe5300000 irq 16 The TV tuner I am using is a:Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1800 This card features: * NXP/Philips TDA18271 (tuner for analog) * Microtune MT2131 (tuner for digital) * NXP/Philips TDA8295 (analog IF demodulator) * Samsung S5H1409/Conexant CX24227 (digital demodulator) * Conexant CX23417 (MPEG-2 encoder) * Elpida (RAM) • Conexant CX23887 (A/V Decoder & PCIe bridge) /lib/firmware hasv4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fwv4l-cx23885-enc.fw The TV tuner and sound card do not seem to be communicating. /etc/udev/rules.d/90-alsa.rules include ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*", \ RUN+="/sbin/alsactl -E ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/alsa/alsactl.conf --initfile=/lib/alsa/init/00main restore /dev/$name" ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="sound", KERNEL=="controlC*", \ RUN+="/sbin/alsactl -E ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/alsa/alsactl.conf store /dev/$name" The second line confuses me. Even if I am just doing something stupid or overlooking the obvious,please suggest a fix. -- Regards BillFedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 22.3.1 _______________________________________________Linux-audio-user mailing listLinux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
