On my system it always reports ffff. Handle == ffff means that the av7110 was not able to create a new filter entry. This will happen if there are already 32 active filters. Does it happen for all channels, or only for a specific one? If the latter is true: Which channel is causing the problem? Does it have a large number of audio pids? > Am I looking at faulty hardware, or can I resolve this issue more > elegant than just disabling the fault report? > (keep in mind that I do not have a programming/coding background) You may disable the warning, but be warned that some parts of the data will not be recorded due to missing filter entries...
