Kevin,

Yup...the only one I can't personally attest to is the HD2000, as I
don't own one. I can't remember now which of the 3000 or 5500 it was,
but some units arrived with the audio port disabled (I was one of the
unlucky ones), so if you can't get a device node out of it when the
cx88-alsa driver is loaded then you may have one of them (lspci|grep
'Audio Port' should show if your card has it enabled; if you don't have
a line ending with that then yours is disabled too). There is a utility
a user on the pcHDTV forums created to enable it.
