hi, I have a Trident TM6010 based tv tuner: hauppauge WINTV-HVR-900H, and I am able to get both audio and video under windows 7 by using the drivers and utilities from the vender. The analogue tv standard is PAL-D. I tried to make it work under my linux box by using the lasted kernel and v4l2 modules, and use the firmware xc3028L-v36.fw,then: modprobe tm6000 tm6000-alsa and tm6000-dvb: [zhangfh@levono3000 ~]$ lsmod|grep tm6000 tm6000_dvb 5434 0 dvb_core 72998 1 tm6000_dvb tm6000_alsa 4545 1 tm6000 36587 2 tm6000_dvb,tm6000_alsa v4l2_common 6822 2 tuner,tm6000 videobuf_vmalloc 3838 1 tm6000 videobuf_core 13383 2 tm6000,videobuf_vmalloc rc_core 14522 7 ir_lirc_codec,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_rc5_decoder,tm6000,ir_nec_decoder snd_pcm 62434 4 tm6000_alsa,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec videodev 53893 4 tuner,tm6000,v4l2_common,uvcvideo snd 47301 17 tm6000_alsa,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer i2c_core 20624 11 zl10353,tuner_xc2028,tuner,tm6000,v4l2_common,videodev,i2c_i801,nouveau,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit [zhangfh@levono3000 ~]$ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: tm6000 [TM5600/60x0], device 0: TM6000 Audio [Trident TM5600/60x0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 and try watching tv with mplayer: mplayer -v tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video1:norm=PAL-DK:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:forceaudio:immediatemode=0 MPlayer SVN-r32628-snapshot-4.5.1 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel max cpuid level: 10 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz (Family: 6, Model: 23, Stepping: 6) extended cpuid-level: 8 extended cache-info: 201351232 Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes Testing OS support for SSE... yes.
