Hi,

I can get video but I'm unable to get audio output. The autodection of
my Pinnacle PCTV Studio/Rave is fine. For sound, I have an Intel 810
chipset. This system is sold as it is now, so all hardware should be OK.

$ head ~/.xawtv
[global]
freqtab = europe-west
mixer = /dev/mixer1:vol
audio = stereo

[defaults]
input = Television
norm = PAL

$ dump-mixers
/dev/mixer = ALC650 (ALC650)
  vol ( 0) : stereo 67/67
  pcm ( 4) : stereo 67/67
  speaker ( 5) : mono 67
  line ( 6) : stereo rec 67/67
  mic ( 7) : mono rec* 0
  cd ( 8) : stereo rec 67/67
  igain (12) : stereo rec 67/67
  line1 (14) : stereo rec 67/67
  phin (20) : mono rec 67
  phout (21) : mono 67
  video (22) : stereo rec 67/67
/dev/mixer1 = tv card (MSP3410G-B11)
  vol ( 0) : stereo 100/100
  bass ( 1) : mono 50
  treble ( 2) : mono 50

I read the Sound FAQ [0], but I didn't find an answer to my question.
I've seen that people have used this TV card in the past without
problems. At usenet, I read something about "you may need to
unmute line in', but I'm afraid I don't understand what that means.

Is it possible that it has something to do with ALSA?

Can someone help me?

Gerrit.
