It works for me under xawtv on mandrake 9.
I can't get it to work under mythtv yet.
I'm not sure if this uses bttv or not.

The Wonder VE doesn't have the necessary chips and hookups for btaudio to
work.

On the mythTV website, there is a link to buy the ATI TV Wonder VE card from
BestBuy.com... Does the creators of MythTV think the card can work... I
just bought one for MythTV (haven't got it working yet - not becuase of the
card) and if it doesn't work, I would love to know...

The card works fine (I use it), just not with BTAudio.

I got the ATI Wonder VE to work just by plugging it in. Sound and video
work fine. Included is a list of cards that work in Mythtv:

http://info.lindows.com/tomw/tuner_cards.html

The OS I tested on Is debian based, LindowsOS. I also tried them on Red
Hat 8 and mandrake 9 with the same results. Hope this helps.

Break the connection? Do you mean the physical pass through cable? If
so, then yes it works. Sound comes from the output of the Wonder VE
just fine. I just tried it.

Okay, just waqnt to clear this up. If you disconnect the patch cable
that connects your ATI TV Wonder VE from you sound card, you still get
sound? If so, can you give us a little more information. Maybe a look
at your modules.conf. Also what dsp device are you listening on?

Thanks
Ben

btaudio allows the tuner sound output to be accessed directly without
the need to pipe it into a line input of a soundcard. Btaudio will
assign a /dev/dsp device to it. Thats why you dont need a cable to run
from the tuner audio out to your sound card audio in. In my case, it
did create a couple of /dev/dsp devices for the ati tv wonder ve. One
for digital and one for analog but accessing both with sox and piping it
to the /dev/dsp of my soundcard for output to my speakers results in no
sound. For the regular tv wonder, it works. I am using the version of
bttv built in Redhat 8. I think it is .6. I dont know what tvaudio
is.

I was under the impression that BTAudio would not work on the ATi TV Wonder
VE. The reason: Isaac said so, and it kind of seems like he knows what he's
doing, huh?

Merle, can you give us some more examples on how you are getting this to
work? I'm willing to bet we are misunderstanding eachother right now, but
I'd like to be wrong :)

Nate

My mistake, I get sound from the patch cable but not from onboard
audio. I am not passing sound through the pci bus. Sorry for the
misunderstanding.

I installed the latest mythtv from cvs and using the ATI Wonder VE, the
sound out works. I will load it again right now and send a copy of my
modules.conf . I have found that I do not have to manually load the
bttv, etc. any more. I thought it was a function of mythtv doing
something but I plug it in, install myth, start myth and it just works.
A fresh install of LindowsOS or Red Hat. I will check it again in a few
minutes. I am not getting sound passed through the pci bus from tuner
card to audio. I am getting audio out of the VE and patch cable to the
sound card input though.

If you remove the cable between the tuner card and the sound card (be
it the external 6 inch loop cable an internal audio connection)
you're maintaining that you will still be able to capture using
btaudio? I think you'll find that is not correct.

Connecting speakers to the external line-out of the tuner card
doesn't prove that btaudio is functional - it just proves that the
tuner works. If btaudio is working, then you don't even need a sound
card to encode audio.
