[lug] Re: ivtv: video works! (but audio?)

Hi,

Many thanks for all the good advice on ivtv.
Using
  /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -n
and testing the various values of n in
  /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -i n
eventually got video capture working.

Now that I can capture and view video, it'd be great to hear the
accompanying sound :) ... right now all I get is silence.
How do I get captured audio with the video?
When I connect the VCR audio out to the Hauppauge 250 audio in,
I get only silence.

When I connect the VCR to the PC sound card instead of the Hauppauge 250,
I can hear the audio, so at least the VCR and cable are ok.

I've tried ...

# List audio inputs:
$ /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -q
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUMAUDIO
        Input   : 0
        Name    : Tuner 1

        Input   : 1
        Name    : Line In 1

        Input   : 2
        Name    : Line In 2


# Try each audio input in turn:
$ /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -a 0
$ /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -a 1
$ /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -a 2

But none of these result in audio.

I've tried mplayer with
  -ao alsa
and
  -ao oss
but neither works.  mplayer seems to be finding a sound
channel, and it's output is below.

Many thanks,

Steve
