Herman, Thanks again. It was suggested to me to use Ubuntu because apparently it is good for multimedia apps. I had googled saa7134-alsa prior to posting and saw a few reports of the problem but no solution. This does seem to be a Ubuntu issue and in one of the reports I looked at (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/212271) it states that the problem does not occurr on a 'stock kernel' from kernel.org. Now I'm womdoering whether I shpuld use another Linux distro? If so, which distro do others use? >>> hermann pitton <hermann-pitton@xxxxxxxx> 08/12/08 9:51 PM >>> Hi again, Am Dienstag, den 12.08.2008, 15:47 +0100 schrieb John Chajecki: > I'm trying to compile the saa7134-alsa module that comes with the v4l-dvb drivers.

Try to google for "ubuntu saa7134-alsa" and/or check the lists. It is not caused by v4l-dvb.
