[plug] TV card woes

[Jim Householder]

Hi

Since trying to get mythtv running, something has happened to my tvtime 
setup.  I upgraded to version 1.0 and it worked for a while.  The card 
is a WinFast TV2000 XP with FM radio.

But now, I get virtually no sound from the card under linux.  If I crank 
up the volume all the way I get a bare whisper that sounds more like 
radio than TV.  The card works perfectly with WinXP with the sound 
patched through line-in.  Line-in works fine with MDK.

Visible feedback indicates that tvtime's mute and volume control work, 
but have no audible effect.

I loaded the btaudio module, and tvtime's volume status bar is now 
permanently at 0.  No adjustment possible.

However, I used sox to successfully record from the card.  I'm sure I'm 
missing something painfully obvious, but I have not been able to get 
tvtime to look at what sox sees.  Any clues?

xawtv also has no sound.

Also, with the new digital card and mythtv, mythtv tells me that 
/dev/dsp is in use by something else, even after a fresh reboot.

How do I find what it is?  I seem to remember something about how to 
find out on this list a while back, but don't know what to use for an 
archive search argument...

TIA
Jim
