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 Devin Heitmueller wrote: > On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 6:09 PM, Bastian Beekes wrote: >> Hm, ok... >> >> thanks for your reply in *no time* :) >> So is the only option to upgrade to 8.10?
