Hi, I recently got a mini PCI LifeView LR307Q Hybrid TV Tuner.
I want to use it to tune analog tv (digital would be a plus but it is not really important to me). The card works perfectly (Analog and digital) on the same machine with Windows. Card subsystem is identified as 4e42:4307, which I didn't find in the list of supported cards by v4l. However, tHis forum (http://lists.zerezo.com/video4linux/msg15910.html) reports the card to be working (except for radio) with card=60 and audio_clock_override=0x00187de7 parameters to the module.
However, I am unable to make sound work .
I am in Spain, which means norm = PAL-BG I think. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (kernel 2.6.18-11)
The steps I follow are
1) Remove the modules loaded by default with wrong parameters: rmmod saa7143-alsa;rmmod saa7134
2) sudo modprobe saa7134 card=X (I've tried several values of X)
3) Run scantv -c /dev/video0 -C /dev/vbi0 (norm = 5 , region=5)
4) open alsamixer in the SAAXXXX device and set the volume to 100% for every control
5) Run
sox -c 2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp& ; mencoder -tv norm=PAL-BG:driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:forceaudio:forcechan=1:adevice=/dev/dsp:fps=25:chanlist=europe-west:audiorate=32000:width=320:height=240 -vf lavcdeint -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=225 -oac lavc -lavcopts abitrate=32 -o out.avi tv://23
The results I obtain are as follows
When using any of the values 2,3,39,54,74, 84,82,94 for the card number when loading the module, scantv does not detect any channel
When using any of the values 55,60,81,109 for the card: scantv finds channels and I get an image (perfect image with 109, there are some glitches with other values) but only very short pulses of distorted sound. I have also tried using the parameter audio_clock_override=0x00187de7 when loading the module with the different card values, but the result is the same.
I have also tried using the tuner= parameter when loading the module but this seems to be ignored, since the dmesg always seems to be loading tuner=54

Sorry for the long mail but I wanted to provide as much info as possible. I have now spent many nights trying to make this work and I am in the point in which I don't know what else to do. I would really appreciate to have some hint on what I am doing wrong,
Thanks in advance,

my, this is close to three years back!
The only reports we ever had were from Paul and he tried across
different cards and it was never finished. It has no radio and only one
single RF in connector.
BTW, do you know about an extra fan for cooling the tuner?
Likely not anymore on a tda8275ac1 and mini PCI.
> I am in Spain, which means norm = PAL-BG I think. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (kernel 2.6.18-11)
That is a nightmare of wasting time. Given that all card entries were
still volatile that time, especially for gpio settings, I would to have
to dig out on what exactly version Paul was and compare it to an Ubuntu
2.6.18-11. Ugh!
On what you really are? They do down port several kernel versions
without problems, but card=109 is a few away from vanilla 2.6.18.
To add more, AFAIK, in Spain you use NICAM-BG for stereo sound and
around that 2.6.18 it might have been broken in favor of NICAM-DK.
The module names even did changed a lot, can't even tell the right debug
options off hand any more. With saa7134 audio_debug=1 you should at
least see, if it fails to detect NICAM-BG and hangs on other audio.

Start simple, say xawtv/tvtime and
sox -c 2 -s -w -r 32000 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp -w -r 32000 /dev/dsp

Paul later reported that it works for the Philips Tiger S card=109 and
it has for sure a LNA config type 2. That explained the better image at
that time already with clear symptoms of missing LNA support previously.

It is difficult on 2.6.18.
You must upgrade to current mercurial v4l-dvb.
Currently it does not even compile on a 2.6.30.
CC [M] /mercurial/hg-head/v4l-dvb/v4l/videobuf-dma-sg.o
CC [M] /mercurial/hg-head/v4l-dvb/v4l/videobuf-dma-contig.o
/mercurial/hg-head/v4l-dvb/v4l/videobuf-dma-contig.c: In function 'videobuf_dma_contig_user_get':
/mercurial/hg-head/v4l-dvb/v4l/videobuf-dma-contig.c:164: error: implicit declaration of function 'follow_pfn'
make[3]: *** [/mercurial/hg-head/v4l-dvb/v4l/videobuf-dma-contig.o] Error 1
Anyway, attached is a testing patch, which if applied to something
working earlier or fixed later, might give you some direction.
Since I don't know, if gpio settings for RF antenna input switch are
correct for card=60 and/or 109 that time, in case you get no picture
anymore on card=109 with it on recent, change TV gpio in saa7134-cards.c
to 0x0000000 and antenna_switch in saa7134-dvb.c to 1 in that case.
Cheers,
Hermann

Hi Gabriel,
From what I can remember, card=60 and audio_clock_override=0x00187de7 did the trick for analogue PAL-I.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&m=116859373521663&w=2
Cheers
Paul

Card subsystem is identified as 4e42:4307, which I didn't find in the list of supported cards by v4l. However, tHis forum (http://lists.zerezo.com/video4linux/msg15910.html) reports the card to be working (except for radio) with card=60 and audio_clock_override=0x00187de7 parameters to the module.

my, this is close to three years back!
The only reports we ever had were from Paul and he tried across different cards and it was never finished. It has no radio and only one single RF in connector.
BTW, do you know about an extra fan for cooling the tuner?
Likely not anymore on a tda8275ac1 and mini PCI.

That is a nightmare of wasting time. Given that all card entries were still volatile that time, especially for gpio settings, I would to have to dig out on what exactly version Paul was and compare it to an Ubuntu 2.6.18-11. Ugh!
On what you really are? They do down port several kernel versions without problems, but card=109 is a few away from vanilla 2.6.18.
To add more, AFAIK, in Spain you use NICAM-BG for stereo sound and around that 2.6.18 it might have been broken in favor of NICAM-DK.
The module names even did changed a lot, can't even tell the right debug options off hand any more. With saa7134 audio_debug=1 you should at least see, if it fails to detect NICAM-BG and hangs on other audio.

Start simple, say xawtv/tvtime and
sox -c 2 -s -w -r 32000 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp -w -r 32000 /dev/dsp

I have also tried using the parameter audio_clock_override=0x00187de7 when loading the module with the different card values, but the result is the same.

Paul later reported that it works for the Philips Tiger S card=109 and it has for sure a LNA config type 2. That explained the better image at that time already with clear symptoms of missing LNA support previously.

It is difficult on 2.6.18.
You must upgrade to current mercurial v4l-dvb.
Currently it does not even compile on a 2.6.30.

Anyway, attached is a testing patch, which if applied to something working earlier or fixed later, might give you some direction.
Since I don't know, if gpio settings for RF antenna input switch are correct for card=60 and/or 109 that time, in case you get no picture anymore on card=109 with it on recent, change TV gpio in saa7134-cards.c to 0x0000000 and antenna_switch in saa7134-dvb.c to 1 in that case.

Hermann
