installed the newest version of alsa 1.0.7, installed mythtv from CVS, and set
the pci latency to 0x40. Now I get prompted with "CONTINUE WITHOUT AUDIO!"
every time I select "Watch TV" and I still get the ringbuffer error
message.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=sans-serif size=2>The prebuffering pauses are probably not due to the
capture card but rather to the audio device, or so mine were on a Pundit-R
which also has an asus mobo and uses the atiixp audio driver. The solution was
to compile mythtv from CVS and toggle the audio support from OSS to ALSA. I
have had to set the latency_delay for the pci cards as well.</FONT>

Hauppauge PVR-250 difficulties</FONT></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>

size=2><TT>I am a Newbie to Linux. I am currently running the default
install of<BR>Mandrake 9.1. I installed mythtv from the HOWTO as well as
the PVR-250 as<BR>detailed in the "example configurations". My setup
uses a celeron P4<BR>1.8GHz, 384Mb PC2100 RAM, and ASUS P4VP-MX motherboard (I
am using all the<BR>onboard VIA devices: video, sound, ethernet). The
Hauppauge card I am using<BR>is a PVR-250 model 980 NTSC/NTSC-J. I am
experiencing two difficulties with<BR>watching TV.<BR><BR>1) The first time I
start mythfrontend after a reboot everything works ok.<BR>However, if I stop
watching tv and then attempt to watch tv again the signal<BR>becomes choppy
and eventually locks up. If I switch over to the terminal<BR>window in
which I started mythfrontend I see the message "prebuffering<BR>pause" then
"waited 2 seconds for data to become available, waiting<BR>again..". The
only way to regain use of the tuner is to reboot the<BR>computer. I
tried stopping the ivtv module (and all its dependencies) and<BR>restarting it
again without rebooting the computer, but that had no effect.<BR>I also
updated the firmware to the recommended version from the ivtv site<BR>(from
file pvr_1.18.21.22168_inf.zip), this had no effect.<BR><BR>2) When I watch TV
all I receive is static. I tried fine tuning the<BR>frequency with no
success. How are the frequencies set? I use DataDirect<BR>to set
the channel info, but maybe I missed a step that sets the
channel<BR>frequencies.<BR><BR>I would appreciate any help on these
topics<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Dan<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>mythtv-users
