[ivtv-users] Audio gone?

[David Pimentel]

Thank you again!

I wonder if the misconfigured driver shipped with karmic? I made the
switch from jaunty only recently, but I forgot which driver I was
using at the time (my jaunty configuration was complex, but functional)
I'll take a look at my system logs and the suggestions from your last
email as well as updating the driver.
Another question: I thought DVB and PVR didn't use the same drivers,
but there's a lot I don't know x_x. Should my card work as DVB (it
never has)?
