Jackden,

in the i2cdump command you have queried the wrong i2c bus, from the results above you should have issued this command:
sudo i2cdump 2 0x50
Can you please try again (The 2 comes from the i2c device listed in i2cdetect -l that corresponds to the first bus of the cx23885)

Sorry if I was unclear in my previous email.

Regards,
Stephen.
