MSI DigiVox A/D II

MSI DigiVox A/D II

[Bastian Beekes]

Hi everybody,

I got a MSI DigiVox A/D II and am running Ubuntu 8.04.
I got picture working with the drivers from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
  , but I don't have sound.

This device already worked with the em28xx-drivers from mcentral.de, but 
I had to manually load snd-usb-audio and em28xx-audio. The problem is, I 
don't have the em28xx-audio module.
I see a souce-file in /v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/video/em28xx for 
em28xx-audio, so how do I build it?

btw, my usb-id is eb1a:e323, so it is recognized as Kworld VS-DVB-T 
323UR , but it in fact is a MSI DigiVox A/D II...

thanks for your help,
Bastian

Ubuntu screwed up their build process in 8.04 so that none of the
v4l-dvb "-audio" modules would get built.  The issue was fixed in
8.10.

Hm, ok...

thanks for your reply in *no time* :)
So is the only option to upgrade to 8.10? I'd prefer to stick with the 
LTS release...

I suspect there is some hackary you could do if you install the kernel
source and recompile to include properly include CONFIG_SND, but
nobody ever went through the effort (as far as I know).  I believe
Markus did in his codebase, which is why he has been distributing
binaries for Ubuntu instead of having people build from source (but I
could be wrong there).

The core of the issue is Ubuntu provided an updated ALSA separate from
the rest of the kernel distro, but then screwed up the kernel headers
so that we think ALSA isn't present, so v4l-dvb doesn't compile any of
the alsa modules.

OK, I'm installing Intrepid kernel right now, reboot and re-check...
It's getting late, I'll report back when I've got further...

thanks so far,
Bastian

Hm,

now I installed the Intrepid Kernel via
echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted' | 
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid-kernel.list && sudo apt-get 
update && sudo apt-get -y install linux linux-generic 
linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic 
linux-restricted-modules-generic && sudo rm 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid-kernel.list && sudo apt-get update

When I rebooted my pc and plugged in my tv stick, dmesg showed me it was 
detected as Kworld VS-DVB-T 323UR - the
USB-ID is eb1a:e323.
Well, this isn't my card, but it's the same USB-ID. When I started up 
tvtime, video was scrambled, but the audio device is listed in arecord -l.
So I tried modprobe em28xx card=50, which is my MSI DigiVox A/D II - the 
video was alright, but when I ran arecord -D hw:1,0 -f dat | aplay -f 
dat , I only got buffer underruns.
So I pulled a fresh copy from hg, compiled & installed it, rebooted, 
plugged - now the stick gets detected without the card=50 option, but 
still only buffer underruns in arecord | aplay.

what now?

greetings, Bastian
