I have a fedora 5 box running fedora 5 (kernel 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5) and mythtv.
I recently got a ADS PTV 305 tv tuner card (as part of ADS MCE 3000 media kit) which I installed on my computer.
I am able to get the picture (there is a crossweave like patter though) but no sound.
So my questions are :
1) I can not get sound working on it
- Do I need to attach a audio cable from some jumper to motherboard (I have
onboard audio). ? Will 'cd in' port work or I need to install a separate sound
card which has 'aux in'. I tried v4l2-ctl -d 1
-f 61.25 --set-ctrl=mute=0 command but still can't get the sound (without
cable).
2) Any way to get better picture ? This card is supposed to have hardware encoding (??) but my cpu usage (1.6Ghz intel with 512 MB RAM) is about 50% when watching live TV. Most of it is from mythbackend. Is it actually using hardware encoding ?
Here is my dmesg output
[root@marut ~]# dmesg | grep cx

Can anyone help ? Will really appreciate any help/pointer.
