Re: MSI DigiVox A/D II

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
