With the Hauppauge - cards it works, so there is mono sound available as fallback. - - audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the - sound card) is supported via cx88-alsa. - -vbi - - Code present. Works for NTSC closed caption. PAL and other - TV norms may or may not work. - - -how to add support for new cards -================================ - -The driver needs some config info for the TV cards. This stuff is in -cx88-cards.c. If the driver doesn't work well you likely need a new -entry for your card in that file. Check the kernel log (using dmesg) -to see whenever the driver knows your card or not. There is a line -like this one: - - cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3400, board: Hauppauge WinTV \ - 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected] - -If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to -the driver. What to do then? - - (1) Try upgrading to the latest snapshot, maybe it has been added - meanwhile. - (2) You can try to create a new entry yourself, have a look at - cx88-cards.c. If that worked, mail me your changes as unified - diff ("diff -u"). - (3) Or you can mail me the config information. I need at least the - following information to add the card: - - * the PCI Subsystem ID ("0070:3400" from the line above, - "lspci -v" output is fine too). - * the tuner type used by the card. You can try to find one by - trial-and-error using the tuner= insmod option.
