Hi, I am using openSuse 11.4 mythtv 0.24 and patched the drivers (attachment on the bug) to avoid the locking issue that is in the current kernel drivers (cx88) However I can not get audio recorded on this device at this level. Video is fine. (Recording from the hw encoded stream /dev/video1 on composite1) I did briefly managed to get audio one day using v4lctl -c /dev/video1 volume mute off But once I tried to set it up to automatically run, I've never got audio again. I know the hardware is all working, as the same box has Suse 11.1 and mythtv 0.21 working fine 100% of the time with no hacks. I had to upgrade as 11.1 to get updates, so went the whole way. I also tried pulling older driver levels, but unfortunately I'm not really upto speed with all the changes that happened in v4l and so drivers at early 2010 I get compilation errors. Any help / ideas would be great Sorry I couldn't reply to the first message (not sure how) I wanted to add the following strangeness - I can sometimes get it working by running smplayer /dev/video1 Once it is working it stays working until power off - I added some delays to the start_codec function in cx88-blackbird.c, and it starts up quicker (one or two smplayer starts). However I can't make it start 100% of the time.
