It has also an on board analog audio out connector and so you don't depend on saa7134-oss or saa7134-alsa for sound, but this works too either using sox or mplayer/mencoder to access the saa7134 dsp and mixer. (the two pins in the middle are ground and this cable was not bundled with mine) There is another Asus My Cinema P7131 Dual with subsystem 1043:4857, which is not confirmed for DVB-T and radio yet, AFAIK. > But I'm afraid because since now I've tested 3 cards and always I get the same > sound error with ALSA: kernel: saa7133[0] dsp access error There have been some reports of incompatibilities with some kernels and installed distro alsa, but can't say for Debian. > The difference is that those 3 cards have no specific entry in the > CARDLIST.saa7134 file. This usually indicates that the cards are unknown/uninvestigated/unsupported. The latest cardlist is always within the mercurial repository. > Anyone have one Asus My Cinema P7131 Dua working in Debian? With FM sound. Not on Debian, but card=78 1043:4862 works since about eight or nine months for me now. With nice FM stereo sound since about four months after Hartmut adjusted the saa7133/35/31e to the special 5.5MHz FM IF the Philips silicon tuners use. Is in 2.6.16. There is no signal strength and stereo detection on radio implemented with the saa7131e yet, means radio autotuning doesn't work. You have to set up a list of your stations manually once. The IR remote is also not yet supported and to have a fine picture on analog TV it needs cable-tv input, poor FreeToAir broadcast is not recommended. Some complain about a little bit slow analog channel switching too. Else, for what I know and can compare to, it performs very well. BTW, using all three input types at once without to plug antenna connectors is only possible if you have the radio on the same antenna input as DVB-T. It comes up currently with DVB-T and analog on the cable-tv input. After using radio once the FM connector is also active for DVB-T input then. Using one of the analog video inputs switches back. To quote Hartmut for some other known caveats on this and similar cards from the video4linux-list Am Dienstag, den 30.05.2006, 00:31 +0200 schrieb Hartmut Hackmann: > The messages look ok.
