Hi again,
Of course, I should have said that sound on the bttv card works through a patch
lead from the line out port to the line in port on the on-board (Intel HDA)
sound system.
I also failed to include the saa713x related messages from dmesg, so here they
are:
[chris:~]$ dmesg | grep saa7

saa7134 ALSA driver for DMA sound loaded
saa7133[0]/alsa: saa7133[0] at 0xe1605000 irq 20 registered as card -1
That last line looks a little suspicious to me with the card being registered
as -1. The two "dsp access error" lines might mean something too.
With the saa7134_alsa debug parameter set to 1, these two additional messages
show up in dmesg when I start up mplayer as I described yesterday:
saa7133[0]/alsa: rec_start: afmt=2 ch=2 => fmt=0x21 swap=-
saa7133[0]/alsa: rec_start: afmt=2 ch=2 => fmt=0x21 swap=-
One question - what does the enable parameter of saa7134_alsa affect? The
description offered via modinfo, whilst obviuos, doesn't mean much to me. I've
tried with it set to 1, but there was no noticeable difference to the sound.
Thanks,
Chris
