[Kwintv] No Audio No channels, Please help!

Fri Sep 29 23:54:31 CEST 2006

Hello George.

Thanks for your answer, I have checked the mute options in kdetv and in
tvtime, but mute is not active in both of the mentioned programs. I can
activate mute and deactivated it again, but I get no audio. Not even when
the mute option is deactivated. Often in linux Tv programs, if you press the
middle button of your mouse, it activates or deactivates the mute option, so
is in kdetv or in tvtime. But as I can see, this is not the reason, in my
case. It should be something with the driver. 

Thanks again to everybody. I will keep on trying!

Regards,

folonio

Folonio,

You seem correct to question the TV card.  I have no experience with your
card.  I use the bttv driver as selected for my card by Linux and am unaware
of any muting in it.  Perhaps you should check your TV viewing application.
Some of these may have a mute function in them.  I couldn't find a mute in
tvtime, my TV viewer of choice.

Thanks George, I am glad you have answered.

I´ve checked the sound inputs and outputs and everything seems to be right.
The sound output from the TV card is connected to the line-in in my sound
card, and the settings on the mixer are at max volume and none is muted. I
also tried to connect another audio source to the same cable and it sounded.
But when I connect the TV back, it still has no sound. That was to be sure
that there was no trouble with the cables. 

I think is something like the TV card is muted itself????? Could it be
because the driver? Which driver should I use? Where to get It? There are so
many doubts, but thanks the lord we can found helpful friends around here.
You are all very kind.

Look, this is what I found about my card:

Sound may be a separate issue from the tuner.  Some cards, like WinTV-GO,
require an audio cable to your sound card.  Frequently, lack of sound is an
issue of mute or volume level.  I don't remember what OS you're using but
the volume control icon will usually link you to a sound mixer.  This is
where mute and sound levels of captured audio like that from a TV card are
controlled.  I un-mute all capture sources.  Microphone, PCM or Line-in are
the most likely sources of TV audio.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.

So I have to find which tuner fits my card, but what do you think about the
issue with the sound?

Should it be fixed using the right tuner? I will keep on trying. I wont give
up until I get it to work Hehe!

Regards,

Alvaro

There are only a few TV chip sets and many are supported by the BTTV driver.
BT stands for Brook Tree.  On the other hand there are many tuners -- over
50 I think.  A manufacturer might use a different tuner without changing the
card model.  Not having a tuner driver or not picking the right tuner number
can cause the problem you describe.   I had trouble identifying the tuner on
a WinTV Go card.  The large package, perhaps 1.5x3 inches, is the tuner.  I
peeled back the card vendor sticker and identified the tuner.  That ID led
me the correct tuner number to use.

Ifact I am running Suse 9.3 on an asrock P4vm8 motherboard, with a Celeron t
2.26 ghz and 512 mb ram. My Tv card is an Encore Eview - tv, with FM, BT 878

I am not sure about the driver.
