If I boot to kernel with development drivers and only reboot to another where msp3400 works , MSP3400 isn't detected. I must turn off computer and boot again :-(.
Just wanted to say I can confirm that behaviour (not surprising, I have exactly the same card (type 11)). I believe the msp3400 chip doesn't have its reset pin wired to anything except a capacitor, so once you've sent it commands which cause it to lockup or something so it no longer responds to i2c commands it will stay dead and cannot be revived - it won't get recognized at all again with any version of the driver afterwards. So it looks like something is wrong with the msp3400 driver in the current tree causing the msp3400 to cease to work.
btw somewhat unrelated but what still doesn't work (and never has) is audio muting when channels are switched. audio gets unmuted very fast, and the msp3400 itself is never muted, which leads to about 3-5 crackling noises when a channel is switched. It looks like you'd need to do it manually, as the chip doesn't really have any ability to mute automatically. It has some mute function (ad_cv bit 9), which I've tried playing with but it's utterly useless (well it even basically says so in the datasheet, so I'm not really surprised) - all it does is mute some perfectly good channels, but it does absolutely nothing when switching channels.
I'm sorry, I'm getting confused. Now there suddenly are three problems with 2.6.16:
It is OK. I would like to help.
1) xawtv thinks channels are mono even though they are stereo.
In 2.6.15.6 xawtv detects Stereo In 2.6.16 xawtv always Mono
2) after a reboot the msp3400c fails to work (is this interpreted correctly? I'm not sure that I completely understood the problem.)No, no. If I use snapshot DVB tree msp3400 never works. I must turn off computer and boot to another kernel eg. 2.6.16 (with standart driver) and now msp3400 woks. Only reboot doesn't help.
3) the msp3400c doesn't mute.
I think that mute little works but I can hear some glitches.
Can I test today snapshot ? But I think that MSP3400 with this doesn't work.
1) is caused by waiting not long enough in xawtv to get a reliable reading from msp3400, this should be solved in the latest v4l-dvb tree (please confirm this!)
2) does this also happen with the latest v4l-dvb? Does this also happen with 2.6.15? I don't think I made any changes to the reset code.
I live in Czech Republic and we use PAL BG in my cable TV and DK in terestrial transmission .
3) this apparently never worked. Can you test this again in the latest v4l_dvb? If you go to the msp3400c_init_data table and adjust the 0x00d0 value to 0x0ed0 and try it? I'm interested in hearing the results. What TV-audio standard is used where you live?
Cheers Dan
Thank you for the feedback.
