[gentoo-user] bt878 + gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6 = sound doesn't work (amd64)

[Claudinei Matos]

hi,

since my motherboard suddenly die I decide to buy a amd64 processor.
well, everything is fine, even gnome, mplayer, firefox, etc..
I did installed kdetv for use with my bt878 board and actually video
is ok, but I can't get sound to work.
In the oldest athlon-xp with kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.7-r9 I had tv
working fine with sound using this modules settings:
#######
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=70 pll=1 radio=1
options tuner=2 type=5 debug=1

options snd-trident snd_index=0
options msp3400 mixer=1
#######

but now with gento-sources-2.6.12-r6 I can't use the same settings
cause snd_trident and msp3400 refuse to load accusing a "Unknown
parameter" and specifying "snd_index=0" and respectively "mixer=1" as
the not supported parameter.
If I try to remove the options I can load these modules but sound doesn't work.

do somebody how to make it work again? how can I know wich parameters
these modules supports?

tks in advice,

claudinei matos

Try commenting out all the bttv and related options, run update-modules
and let coldplug work it all out.

That fixed a similar problem for me

well, I did what you suggested..
commented out the options and tried coldplug, but in this way I can't
even get the board output (for jack adapter) to work.
Ignoring snd_trident and msp3400 I could use a jack 2 jack cable to
link capture card output with sound card input but thats wasn't what I
want.
I will still trying to put that to work, if someone have another idea
please let me know.

tks.
