[ivtv-users] Tininess From RCA Stereo Jacks on PVR-150

[Mache Creeger]

I am using the latest MythTV release on the latest kernel release of 
Fedora 9, with the nvidia kernel-specific drivers, on an Asus P1-AH2 
motherboard. I have a PVR-150 installed and use the stereo and 
composite video RCA jacks for input from my cable decoder box. I do 
not use the coax tuner as input.

I get intermittent tininess in the audio when I record and I 
experienced the exact same symptoms on an earlier system which had a 
different PVR-150 in a VIA EPIA M10000 running Fedora 8 and used the 
stereo and composite video RCA jacks.

Based on that experience and other postings on the Internet, there 
seems to be problem in the ivtv driver for the PVR-150 that causes 
tininess in the audio when you record from the stereo RCA jacks and 
not from the tuner

I noticed that some folks run "/usr/local/bin/v4l2-ctl 
--set-audio-input=1 -d /dev/video0" in a cron job that runs every 
minute as a solution.

Are there any other ways to address this problem? Has it been 
registered as a bug and if so any idea if or when it could be resolved?
