Problem #1

In my current setup i have a TV Wonder Pro, to get it working i had to add

options bttv autoload=1 card=63 radio=0 pll=1 tuner=2

to my /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv file.

i recently got a TV wonder VE so i changed the

/etc/mythtv/modules/bttv0 to include
options bttv autoload=1 card=64 radio=0 pll=1 tuner=2

and the /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv1 to include
options bttv autoload=1 card=63 radio=0 pll=1 tuner=2

i know that this is right because the svideo is being detected on the TV Wonder Pro.

the problem is when the TV Wonder VE is loaded, the tuner=19 and i can't change channels or record because this card is the card that is used by default for live TV.

Here is the valid portion of /var/log/messages

Problem #2

Both cards use external audio cables for the card to the sound card inputs.
Is it possible to use the mic input for sound??
and if so how do i do it?

You should make the change to:
/etc/mythtv/modules/bttv
It should look something like this:
options bttv autoload=1 card=63,64 radio=0 pll=1 tuner=2,2

You shouldn't change bttv0 or bttv1.

You'll need two soundcards or a tuner that supports btaudio.

According to
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... ht=modules

the Tv Wonder Pro supports btaudio, the setting are:

options btaudio rate=32000 dsp1=1 dsp2=2 mixer=1 debug=2
alias sound-slot-1 btaudio


what would i have to change to have the input be the microphone and will this affect the other tunercard being that they are configured in the same bttv file?

If you use btaudio then you don't need the patch cord. Use aumix and select mic as source to record.

I got the Tuner cards detecting corectly, to do this i had to remove the lines

include /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv0
include /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv1

and add

include /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv

to /etc/modutils/Knoppmyth.

btaudio will not work for reasons of my own stupidity(lets not discuss this), so i put in a sblive 5.1 gamer i had lying around, it doesn't load automatically. after checking the loaded modules and seeing it wasn't there i loaded it manually with

insmod emu10k1

and i get

any suggestions?

Assuming you are using 2 sound cards, someone has posted instructions on getting two cards to work. Please search the forum.

After a little hassel getting 2 sound cards installed i finally have the alsa drivers working with my snd-82xx and snd-emu10k1 cards. But not matter what imput i choose for the sound sound on the second card (/dev/dsp1; /dev/dsp2 or /dev/dsp3) there is no sound on the second tuner card.

I've search high and low, i need some help!!

Are you sure your capture device is selected? In alsamixer, key over to the slider you want and press the space bar on it. The top of the slider should now say 'CAPTR' or something similar. Also, make sure that the device is not muted. You should be able to access the second device using 'alsamixer -c 1'

I had problems getting my line in to work on the second card, but the mic worked fine. I think I might have a broken solder joint on my line in, but I've been too lazy to pull the card to check.
