Post subject:  How do I make "tuner type=2" be hardcoded after a

Everytime I boot my box I have no sound until I do

rmmod tuner
rmmod ivtv
insmod tuner type=2
insmod ivtv

Then I have sound. How do I make knoppix myth automatically insmod tuner type=2 at boot time?

Thanks
Malcolm

It should be done already. If you have having problems w/ sound and a PVR 2/350 search the forum.

How are you doing the rmmod commands? I also suffer from a complete lack of sound (only from the PVR-250 -- mp3/dvd/etc. works fine) and I am trying to see if the rm and add of the modules will also help me, but I cannot remove the modules because they are "in use". I've even killed the backend/frontend, yet I can never removed the modules.

Also, in searching, I don't see a permanent fix for this problem. Is there a fix that I'm not aware of?

Thanks!
Mike

to make your your tuner=2 permanent simply edit /etc/myth/modules/ivtv

similar to this one :

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 ivtv_pal=1 tuner=28
options tuner type=28 pal=i
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 standard=03
options saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=1 pal=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c ivtv-fb

to have sound with your 2/3-50 you have to edit /home/mythtv/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc

change

exec KnoppMyth-run

to

exec mythfrontend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
#exec KnoppMyth-run

there is also a sticky thread in this forum about this.

Thanks for the tip but I saw the sticky thread on that and I've tried it. When I do that I get nothing at all. The GUI fires up flickers a bit and then black. No mythfrontend shows up although it is running because I have to switch to a terminal window and kill the processes to get the GUI back.

I also tried this which I found searching on the forum

exec test_ioctl -y mute=0
exec KnoppMyth-run

That didn't work either.

I appreciate the tip and will give that a try tonight. That will probably solve my sound on boot issue.

Thanks

Sorry I can't help but when I go to remove the modules they just remove. I don't even have to kill mythbackend. As root I just simply type

rmmod ivtv
rmmod tuner

Not sure why yours are stuck?

sounds strange.
maybe you shoul check permissons of test_ioctl and mythfrontend

root@mythtv:~ # ls -l /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv mythtv 36 2004-01-17 00:25 /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -> /usr/local/lib/ivtv/utils/test_ioctl
root@mythtv:~ # ls -l /usr/local/lib/ivtv/utils/test_ioctl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mythtv mythtv 26150 2004-01-17 16:56 /usr/local/lib/ivtv/utils/test_ioctl

to change, type

chown mythtv.mythtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl
