Re: Re: [suse-multimedia-e] TV tuner noisy audio

1 Oct 2002

      Hi,

I have just found out from bttv list that because my card has a PAL-BG tuner
and the TV standard in UK is PAL-I, I will not be able to tune into both
image and sound at the same time.

By the fact that you're able to get clear audio through tuning sounds 
like the connection is good.  Are you absoulutely sure that  you have 
the  correct broadcast standard for the UK set in your preferences 
(Options>TV Norm  in MoTV)?  You might want to try deleting the existing 
.xawtv and .kwintvrc files from your /home directory and using YaST (I'm 
also running SuSE8.0) to reconfigure your TV card (there's a provision 
in it to match the selected card with different types of tuners mounted 
on it (PAL/NTSC/SECAM).  Good Luck!

P.S. - You mentioned that you  manually configured the card.  Does YaST 
recognize it at all, with a different name?  It could be that PixelView 
PlayTV is a name a distributor slapped on it, and YaST is identifying it 
under it's true identity.  Just a thought.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is no internal connector on my TV card.
However, I have tried fine tuning the channels and found the following:
For most channels, if I increase the freq by 1 or 2 MHz, I can get a channel with very
clear audio but no picture.  I wonder if it is hardware problem or software (driver) 
problem.
Have anyone come across this problem or have a explanation for it?
By the way, I am using SuSE 8.0.  The drivers, kwintv and motv are of the versions that
come with the distribution.
Regards,
Reg

I had a similar problem when I installed a Pinnacle (Miro - in Europe) 
StudioPCTV Pro in my sister's computer.  I got around it by using the 
internal connectors in both the tv card and the audio card, instead of 
the external 1/8" short stereo cable.   I didn't have the same problem 
on my computer, but using the internal connection leaves the external 
line input free for recording, which is always handy.

Hi,
I have got a PixelView PlayTV Pro TV (mono) tuner card and have installed the driver modules through 
YaST (the exact card model was selected manually).  When I try to watch TV in motv and kwintv after 
scanning the channels, the picture is quite clear but the audio is very noisy (I can hardly hear
the original audio of the programme).  Does anyone come across this problem or have any suggestions
what I can do?
Regards,
Reg
