Hi,
I used the myth-FAQ while getting my Hauppauge PVR 350 to work, and
there was a bug in it. The msp3400, saa7115 and tuner modules got loaded
*after* the ivtv module instead of *before*, as is required and stated
in the IVTV FAQ.
The consequence was, that sound only worked on my PVR 350 after this
incantation:
$ modprobe ivtv
$ rmmod ivtv
$ modprobe ivtv
which took my quite a while to discover... How the existing version
could ever have worked for anyone is a mystery to me.
So anyway, here is a patch for myth-FAQ-19.html. I also included an
extention of the provided-as-is note that also points to and suggests
the IVTV FAQ as the primary reference (in caps as the existing
provided-as-is note).
