Hello. I'm just another guy with an old problem. I have installed Mandrake 8.1 on my computer - Celeron 600 MHz, Abit SL6 i815 MB, 384 MB RAM. I have a Jetway bt878 TV Tuner board (same as KWorld and Wayjet boards - if you wonder about these, they're all some Taiwan-based companies). It works just well under Windows98se. The tuner board is linked to the sound-board (Creative SB 128 PCI) via a jumper-cable that goes from the sound output of the TV Tuner to the line-in of the sound board. The sound board works, as I have sound with other apps, XMMS, media players etc. The problem is I get no sound with xawtv nor other TV tuner application - Zapper or GnomeTV, it's the same, under KDE and Gnome. I have set the card as following(some people on IRC gave me this, the most help I got on this issue yet): rmmod bttv; insmod card=34 tuner=1 card=34 means Leadtek WinTV 2000. (or something like this) I have tried a few other numbers for the card from the CARDLIST file, but none of them managed to give me a clear picture. I still have to try out the rest of them. I have managed to tune into all the stations on cable. The AUMixer is all set, with the sound source as Line In, all volumes at maximum, but I still don't get any sound. The volume control on xawtv is on, but even with it's volume up to 100%, there's not even a shadow of sound. I have heard of a 'rough' method to make this work - while under Windows, with the TV Tuner app on, just reset the computer, and when you'll start up xawtv or any other similar app, you'll get sound! Haven't got a chance to try it yet... I'm sure there's a way to get this working, through some config file, but I'm still a newbie when it comes to Linux, so I'd appreciate any help, and I'm sure I won't be the only one... Thanks.
