No audio on 350
Hello.

Having some problems with my 350 card.

cat /dev/video0 > video0.avi

produces a file i can play in mplayer, the video looks great but there is
no sound. In fact mplayer says "Audio: no sound" on stdout.

after reading this mailing list I tried this

cat /dev/video24 > foo.pcm but foo.pcm is always a zero length file, even
after a minute.

any ideas for how i can diagnose the problem?

running

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video24 --log-status while the "cat /dev/video24 >
foo.pcm" is running produces

Re: No audio on 350 [ In reply to ]
I had a similar problem with my PVR-350 back in May 2011. The folks on the MythTV list helped me troubleshoot, so I suggest looking at the mythtv-users archive for May. In short, the audio on my 350 stopped working, even under Windows, so I concluded that the audio HW had failed and I wound up replacing the card.
