Post subject:  kworld global TV terminator audio problems

I recently purchased a kworld global TV terminator and I while I am able to record video w/ out problems, the audio track always comes back blank. The audio comes through fine for live-time viewing with the following:
Code:
mplayer tv://"insert channel" -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=us-cable:alsa:\
adevice=hw.0,0:amode=1:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:volume=100:immediatemode=0:norm=NTSC


Any ideas anyone might have on how to resolve would be greatly appreciated. This is an R5D1 system. Thanks!

Marc

I don't get audio with mythtv's live TV playback -- it only works when I play live TV using mplayer. I connected the audio output of the kworld card to the line in of my audio card and followed the instructions in the mythtv wiki -- http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/KW ... Terminator

Things have changed, although not gotten better. I found an article that suggests that one can obtain the audio directly off the bus instead of using an audio loop-back via the sound card (http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Saa7134-alsa). I've modified modprobe.conf so that it contains the following:
Code:
alias ra0 rt2400
alias rausb0 rt2570
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 saa7134
options saa7134 card=65 tuner=54 video_nr=0 vbi_nr=0 radio_nr=0
install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134; /sbin/modprobe saa7134-alsa
options saa7134-alsa index=1


When I attempt to record a show in mythtv I get the following error msg in dmesg:
Code:

Thanks for pointing that out -- I had not noticed it. I used v4lctl to turn both mute and automute off, but that has not sovled the problem. I still am getting a NULL pointer deference error.

Have you gotten your card to work?

Marc

not yet, still working on it....

by the way, did u notive 2 pin outs on the card itself, it says jp7 and jp8, they look like audio out pins, i even tried connecting a line cable from them directly to my motherboard, still no luck with that.....
