Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
I recently bought a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q HDTV tuner, choose it because the drivers for it are said to be included with the kernel and I read good reviews about it even though it is a USB device. After connecting it to my system Arch has no problem detecting it, lsusb and dmesg both see it, and programs like Kaffeine also see it just fine. I downloaded the firmware for the device and installed it according to these directions on Linuxtv.org. After doing all that I am unable to get Kaffeine to be able to find any channels off of my cable connection, tried all of the sources that Kaffeine offered under the Television -> Configure Television -> Device 1. To see if it works at all I installed Tvtime gave that a try, right off the bat video is working and it can scan and find channel but audio does not work for some reason.
Here is the output from dmesg:

Re: Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
I tried using that but something causes sox to crash/close, I need to go through the script and remove all the redirects to /dev/null. I am really wanting to get it to work with Kaffeine rather than tvtime, I just used tvtime to make sure I didn't get a faulty device.

Re: Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
Ok so I edited the script and this is the output I got
Started TVTime, PID: 31972
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/vendion/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
Started SOX, PID: 31974
Started activity simulator (to disable Screen Saver), PID: 31975
sox FAIL formats: can't open input `hw:1,0': snd_pcm_open error: No such file or directory
SOX exited. Closing TVTime + activity simulator and exiting.Why can't sox open the the device/saying it does not exist? I know the sound works every other program has no problem using it.

Re: Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
your audio device is probably not 'hw:1,0'. See if you can get a list of ALSA devices somehow, then choose the one that corresponds to your card. I'm sure google knows more than I do on how to do this

Re: Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
True, after setting it to 'hw:0,0' seems to do better, what I mean is sox does not crash, I still don't get sound though. I have been trying to increment the second numerical value, my guess is that is for the channel on the device. The only channels I can get to work is 0-2 which non of them give sound but the errors generated slightly differ from what I can tell:

Also just tried MythTv and it has the same problem as Kaffeine, it sees the card and can scan for channels but it can't play anything. My eventual goal once I get this working is to use a program that can view live TV as well as record TV, something that tvtime can not do.

Re: Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
Ok so I figured out the issue with TV time, needed to use the ALSA device 2.0 for the TV Tuner.

Re: Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
Ok well I marked it as solved to soon, even though I know which ALSA device I need to use to get audio from my TV tuner I can't get it to work with MythTV, at this point if I can get it to work with MythTV I'll be happy and can forget about Kaffeine. In the MythTV setup program I set the audio device to all variations I could find for the device
ALSA:hw:2,0
hw:2,0
/dev/adsp2
/dev/audio2
/dev/mixer2
I know the devices listed in /dev are for the tuner card because they are removed from /dev when I disconnect the card from the USB port. Anyone here familiar with MythTV setup that can help me out?

Re: Need help setting up my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950Q
IIRC when I used an analogue card, I had to set the audio input to /dev/dsp1. Do you have alsa-oss installed? If so, try putting /dev/dsp2 or whichever one disappears when you take out the card.
