Hi Folks,
since the last Kernel Upgrade I've got problems with my tv tuner card. Since ever I had to set the tuner manually to 38. But now it seems that its not enough just to set this type.
I used this script to set up my card correctly:
modprobe -r cx88-dvb cx88-blackbird cx8802 cx88-alsa cx8800 cx88xx
modprobe cx88xx tuner=38
modprobe cx8800Now I've got weired sound and only a few stations, with a very poor picture quality. After reloading the modules with the script dmesg says:
tda9887 2-0043: destroying instance

cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi0From my (limited) point of view the problem is, that tuner-simple does not loads the correct tuner type? I've looked into modinfo from tuner-simple but there is no parameter for type... What else could be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Same problem to me. After kernel upgrade i don't have picture in tvtime (and xawtv, and kradio) window. I have Hauppauge WinTV PCI-FM model 598.
In other partition i have old Slackware (2.6.24) install, tvtunner works just fine.
Dmesg seems to be equal.
PS: sorry for my very bad english.

Hi dinux,
during my research I recognized similar problems for other tv-kernel modules. So I expect this to be a kernel issue and opened a corresponding bug - report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11367
Let's hope, that this thing will be fixed soon.

I'm not sure if we have identical cards. Could you run lspci -nn to see?

My card works without specifying any module parameters.

What if you don't specify any module parameters?

Is your card listed in the Linux PCI ID Repository?
or more importantly in your machine's local copy:
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids

Hi cjpembo,
my Card looks like:
01:07.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [14f1:8800] (rev 05)
01:07.1 Multimedia controller [0480]: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] [14f1:8811] (rev 05)My card seems to be another version. Regarding to the v4l Wiki: http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Tu … ted_Tuners
A new Hauppauge WinTV PCI-FM card is here (pci_ids: 14f1:8800, 14f1:8811), using the TCL MFPE05-02 PAL (DK BG I) FM tuner. It just implements mk3 API, you can use philips 1216me mk3 (tuner=38) instead.
If I don't specify any module parameters, the tuner type 0 is selected.

i have a little bit different problem, but i thought it might be useful to ask here..
i also have Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Expert tv card. it was detected by bttv automatically, and the picture works from the beginning without a problem. the sound is not however.
in /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml i set up
<option name="MixerDevice" value="/dev/mixer:line"/>and Line is unmuted in mixer.
where i sense the problem is my lspci output, where i can only find one line about the card:
00:0e.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [14f1:8800] (rev 05)so it seems like i'm missing this one, that i found in your outputs:
00:0e.1 Multimedia controller [0480]: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] [14f1:8811] (rev 05)any ideas?
thank's a lot!

for me pinnacle pctv tuner channels work just fine but i lost sound with sox after kernel upgrade
bash-3.2# sox -t ossdsp -r 48000 -b -c 2 /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
sox sox: Bits value `-c' is not a positive integer
bash-3.2#

It seems to work with this
arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 48000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay - & tvtime -d /dev/video0 && killall arecordbut there is a small problem , i realize that the lips go a little bit faster than the sound.

Had a different problem with the card.
After updating my system the card wasn't detected correctly.
dmesg output:
cx88/2: cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.8 loaded
cx88/2: registering cx8802 driver, type: dvb access: shared
cx88[0]/2: subsystem: 0070:9002, board: Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T [card=18]
cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based DVB/ATSC card

cx88[0]/2: dvb_register failed (err = -22)
cx88[0]/2: cx8802 probe failed, err = -22when I was trying to modprobe the cx88_dvb module there was "device not found" issued.
Had some trouble to find a solution. Some Google results where telling to replug the PCI card and to restart. This was really working!
I hope that someone with the same error, will find this solution.
