Re: [suse-multimedia-e] kwintv keeps sound on in suse 8.2
Maybe I should get rid of tv card and try the Haupage WinTV. Do you get a pretty good picture? I have tried to mute the TV sound but when I do that it interferes with the sound in general. If I try to play a game the sound is muffled. Also it is getting worse. I tried deleting the tv card and reinstalling the card but my sound is mess up. When I exit KDE I hear the exit sound a hundred times and it plays until the log in screen displays. This is becoming a nightmare!. Darwin On Friday 15 August 2003 18:45, you wrote:

I'm thinking a missed signal between "X" and "KDE", but haven't worried about it.
Suggest until someone gives you the solution, you might "mute" the TV audio BEFORE you exit the program. At least you would not hear it then. Tom

First, I do not think it is your hardware. I am confused somewhat. If you mute the audio in the xawtv or motv application, it should not have ANY bearing on the sound levels of your game audio applications, CD playing, etc. They are different paths through the sound card. What mixer are you using... gamix works best for me. I must admit, I find sound config in KDE extremely confusing, and for that and other reasons, I typically live in the icewm world...<};-) Have you tried using one of the other window managers? As for image quality, I found the ATI AIW (rage128) to be better than this Haupagge Win-TV. The resolution either line or air signal was better on the ATI tuner. Setup of the ATI until SuSE8.2 was always a nightmare, but the Win-TV is totally supported, way back to the 6.x days. In 8.2, both installed flawlessly for me. You should post a better detail of your system, and then maybe some of the GURUs will kick in and help you. Good luck... On Fri, 2003-08-15 at 19:29, darwin wrote:

Hi Darwin,
Have no experience with ATI TV cards, but my Hauppauge does that
every time the application crashes (for whatever reasons)
instead of clean shutdown... Which basically means the driver
stays in memory and the card is "ON" (everything else goes in
the hardware level, like tuner->sound card).
So I'm afraid you can't do much about it, except maybe unloading
the driver module (if possible at all)...
Good luck

Thanks for the info. I took out my ati tv card and now I put it back in after you said the audio for the tv application does not have any bearing on anything else. If I use it and when I finish I will just mute it. I use kwintv and have not tried the other two. That is too bad that your win-tv card is not better than the ati one. I have heard about icewm window manager. I am pretty new to linux and only tried kde. I am getting no sound for any of the games I try. No sound for anything except for the tv and my cd-roms when I put in a audio cd. You would not why ? I was using kmix. I tried using gamix. There are a lot of selections. It is really long. I have a sound blaster live 5.1 card. I have an AMD 2200 cpu. Thanks, darwin On Friday 15 August 2003 23:24, you wrote:
