Trouble making PCTV 310c working

Trouble making PCTV 310c working

[stef]

	Hello,

	I have Pinnacle PCTV 310c hybrid card:

02:00.0 0400: 14f1:8800 (rev 05)
	Subsystem: 12ab:1788
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
	Memory at 60000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data <?>
	Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: cx8800
	Kernel modules: cx8800

02:00.1 0480: 14f1:8801 (rev 05)
	Subsystem: 12ab:1788
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
	Memory at 61000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: cx88_audio
	Kernel modules: cx88-alsa

02:00.2 0480: 14f1:8802 (rev 05)
	Subsystem: 12ab:1788
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
	Memory at 62000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: cx88-mpeg driver manager
	Kernel modules: cx8802

	With latest mercurial, I can capture video with good quality from Composite1, 
but I don't get sound. I checked that the alsa device exists and is unmuted. 
I'm capturing with:
mplayer tv:// -tv 
driver=v4l2:norm=PAL-BG:input=1:device=/dev/video1:alsa:adevice=hw.2:volume=60
-vo xv -ao alsa
	where I double checked that hw.2 is really the Conexant CX8801 Playback.

	Another problem I have is that after scanning french tv channels (with 
tvtime-scanner), the detected channels are garbled when I try to watch them 
with tvtime. It looks like that SECAM isn't taken into account, and that the 
signal is decoded as if it was another norm.

	Looking at the sources I noted a comment about some GPIO work needed for the 
DVB subsystem. I have a windows partition on the same machine where the card 
is working fine, and I installed DScaler's regspy. So I may provide any data 
needed.

	Last, I believe there should also be an entry for the  cx8802 in the card 
description. 

Regards,
	Stef

With my pctv usb I couldn't get the scan to work...
I had to look at the channels and manually put them in xml file.

we only got analog TV working with that device for now, DVB-T might
need a little more work. I'll check the current status next week when
I find some more time.

	Hello,

	I was able to get sound from Composite1 by adding the following fields to the 
composite entry in cx88-cards:

                        .gpio0  = 0x04fb,
                        .gpio1  = 0x10ff,
                        .gpio2  = 0x0ff,
                        .audioroute = 1,

	The gpio values were fetched under windows using regspy. I didn't have enough 
time to test with audioroute=1 only, which may have been enough to get sound 
working.

Regards,
	Stef
