Problem with FlyTV Platinum33 Gold, Sound & SuSE10

[Paul Rolfe <paul.e.rolfe (at) ntlworld.com>]

Hi Peter,

An update - I don't have an S-Video cable, hoping to borrow that from a colleague in the next few days.

I have checked the composite inputs, using card = 39, tuner = 54 :
Composite 1 only gives sound. No video at either front connector, or rear socket.

using card = 54, tuner = 54 :
Composite 1 - gives sound, no video at either front connector or rear connector
Composite 2 - gives sound and Video at front conenctor AND read socket.
S-Video - sound works (will have to wait until next week for a cable hopefully)

Also - I've used SOX to route the sound :

added oss=1 to module options.
sox -t ossdsp -w -s /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp -w -s /dev/dsp

This routes audio to the sound system without the cable :) The only problem with this is there is a noticable delay in the sound compared to the video - i.e. the audio/video sync is lost. Using the cable this delay is not noticeable.

Regards

Paul
