Sound-decode problem with a TV tuner...

[Eduard-Mugur BURCEAG <mugur uaic ro>]

Hello all,

I have a TV-tuner card (PCI 2.1 compliance) with FM-tuner, teletext and
remote control. It is working fine under linux (RH 6.1) with bttv driver
except the infrared remote and !!this is the BIG problem!! without sound.
If I boot winXX and start the TV-tuner program, then make a soft reboot to
linux, I get sound as well, but only in this case.
I have tried to follow the steps described in the
/usr/src/linux/Docum.../video.../bttv/SoundFAQ file by modifying the
bttv.c file in order to dump the registry contain of the tvcard before
it's initialising, but I got the same registry contains in both situations
(with sound ---booted from winXX & without sound ---boot linux first when
power on). I tried the sound decoders modules (msp3400...) with all
parameters but still without success. Please, help me if there's anybody
who can give me an ideea or ... the solution for this problem !!! Bellow
are some specifications regarding my tvcard:

 - recognized by bttv (when insert with card=0 option, wich means
   =autodetect)  as a "MIRO PCTV"; an old version of bttv detected it as a
   Aimslab card.
 - chip Bt878KHF (as it can see on the card);
 - made by ? PROVIDEO ? as reported in WinXX, with PV-951 code.
 - TV-tuner type: PV-951, SN: PV266162;
 - with one RF-in, one Line-out, one Remote, one S-Video in, one AV-in on
   board;
 - TV-tuner detected is: type 5: Philips PAL tuner;

ps. I am using it on a linux machine, which runs RH-6.1, kernel ver.2.3.42
    and 2.2.12-20 which is the default kern.version in RH61.

Thanks for any help !

Eduard.
