PVR 500, Audio on daughter cards (extra tuners)
Hi,

I have a two PVR-500 cards with their daughter cards attached. I am
feeding audio on the the line-in of these 4 devices along with
composite video input. The main cards work fine, however the sound on
the daughter cards is very noisy and unusable.

The system is running gentoo using kernel 3.10.7. Is there way to get
usable audio out from the daughter cards?

I have done a bit more testing and can confirm that additional tuner
card works fine in 2.6.34 and 2.6.35. These kernels have ivtv-1.4.1
versions. Also, both ivtv-1.4.2 (kernel 2.6.39) and ivtv-1.43 (kernel
3.10.7) have problems. Is there any way to debug this further or is it
possible to use ivtv-1.4.1 with kernel 3.10.7?

Thanks
