FYI regarding thread subject - deal is expired, back to $99.


No sir, nothing special, and my cat /dev/video0 test came with crystal
clear audio and CPU only spiked briefly (to ~20%) at startup, then
back to about 3-5% .. which is normal.

I spose I should point out, I captured DVD output using composite
cables (which was on Composite 1: ivtvctl -p 3). I don't recall having
to manually set a corresponding audio input.

I used the firmware from the included CD, and had to tweak
ivtvfwextract.pl to do so. I may heed the warning of it's being
"buggy!!!" and use one from the ivtv site.

Since my shiny new PVR-150 will live under the staircase, I had to
build a serial IR receiver in the time since I last replied here (to
my amazement, it works!).

Point being - I'm probably the _least_ qualified to debug this issue,
but I've included my relevant dmesg output. (You may wanna take this
to the ivtv list)

Having said that - how are you determining the audio is missing? 

Also, according to dmesg, do you see 'tveeprom: audio processor =
CX25841 (type = 23)' or similar?

How about 'ivtv: Create DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 0 x 4608 buffers
(0KB total)'?

Any error messages?

If not, maybe it's as simple as using ivtvctl to get the proper
inputs.
