Hello,
I run xawtv with a Leadtek Winfast 2000 XP Expert on a debian etch 2.12.3.
The kernel compilation and xawtv package installation went smoothly, but
at channels configuration, I have a tiny problem:
I have video, I have sound, but not on the same channel! I explain:
channel 26, I have my video but no sound (only garbage). If I select
channel 27, I've got sound of the previous channel.
It's the same for all channel I can discover with xawtv.
Does somebody has this issue? Could you help me correct this?
Thanks by advance.

PS: I find no trace of my previous mail, sorry if it's duplicated.

It looks to be related to channel tunning. Maybe you are using a PAL
tuner for a NTSC channel or vice-versa.

Hi Mauro!

Glad to read you :)

I'm currently in France, so I use the L-SECAM mode. But maybe I
misunderstand what you mean. Considering that I made the error you speak
abour, how could I correct it? This could put me on the right way.

Thanks for your help.

What tuner are you using? Maybe you've selected a PAL or NTSC tuner.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Tom,

we had this issue also reported on saa7134 cards using tuners with
tda9887 demodulator and IIRC also for your card already.

"options tda9887 port2=0" should hopefully solve it.

Cheers,
Hermann

Hi Hermann,

Thanks for the tips, but Where should I put this line?
I tried in command line with xawtv and in the .xawtv but it seems that's
not the correct place Sorry for my ignorance :-$

Thanks again

It was meant to be put in /etc/modprobe.conf and then "depmod -a".
You can also "modprobe tda9887 port2=0" or even call the module
parameter with "echo" through sysfs. Will show an effect after the
next channel change.

We had this even as default for SECAM-L and there is still #if 0ed
code in tda9887.c. We had to disable it for now after 2.6.10 showed that
there are still some pinnacle pctv bttv cards, which switch of the tuner
for power saving with this setting, Gunther mentioned it allready some
years ago

#if 0
/* This as-is breaks some cards, must be fixed in a
* card-specific way, probably using TDA9887_SET_CNFIG to
* turn on/off port2 */
if (t->std & V4L2_STD_SECAM_L) {
/* secam fixup (FIXME: move this to tvnorms array?) */
buf[1] &= ~Port2Inactive;
}
#endif

Cheers,
Hermann

Hi!

Many thanks for your help! That line solved my problem. Now I have
strictly no reason to use my MS Windows partition :)
