GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563515
gnomeradio doesn't produce sounds with saa7134 chip
Last modified: 2012-11-16 13:29:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: gnomeradio doesn't work directly with saa7134 chips (it starts and seems to tune, but remains mute). it works (perfectly) only opening a recording session of the device with arecord/aplay, with a string like this arecord -D hw:2,0 -r 32000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay & gnomeradio this seems a lack of the code needed to pilot recent cards that doesn't use external line-in/line-out cable. as this behaviour prevents the program to work, i think this has to be filed as a "bug" and not as a "feature request". Steps to reproduce: 1. install a saa7134 chip card 2. install gnomeradio 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
I guess I have a same problem as described above with the saa7134 chipset. I have not yet found any radio application which would output the sound correctly
I get the same in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). The tuner is detected and device /dev/radio0 is created. Stations can be scanned and are tuned. Changing the default driver setting in GConf from "any" to "v4l2" doesn't work :(
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, this module is dead, so it won't recive more bug fixes nor updates.
According to its developer, gnomeradio is not under active development anymore. It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
