Hi,
I bought an AverMedia Volar Black HD too.
I opened it, i can confirm the device contains a AF9015N1 chip and a
MXL5003S tuner.


I think there was something missing your diff Antti :
@@ -1404,7 +1405,7 @@

                .i2c_algo = &af9015_i2c_algo,

-               .num_device_descs = 7,
+               .num_device_descs = 8,
                .devices = {
                        {
                                .name = "Xtensions XD-380",

After patching af9015.c file, when i plug it, modules are loading but it
seems that the tuner did not work :

Anything else we can try Antti ?

Thanks
