<div>Installed Mythbuntu 9.10, with Hauppauge HDV-1600 card. It worked (!) except video was jerky. Following instructions at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600 I downloaded driver as per http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers and firmware from http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/<br><br>Driver would not compile (first problem), but the real issue is I installed the firmware, and now the card is not recognized at all. Do I *need* the new driver installed for the card to even be recognized at boot?<br><br>Before firmware install, boot messages were as follows:<br><br>[ 7.501577] Linux video capture interface: v2.00<br>[ 7.504636] gameport: EMU10K1 is pci0000:02:09.1/gameport0, io 0xdff0, speed 932kHz<br>[ 7.735618] cx18: Start initialization, version 1.2.0<br>[ 7.735703] cx18-0: Initializing card 0<br>[ 7.735710] cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge card<br>[ 7.735865] alloc irq_desc for 22 on node -1<br>[ 7.735871] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1<br>[ 7.735885] cx18 0000:02:0a.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22<br>[ 7.735900] cx18-0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32)<br>[ 7.739229] cx18-0: cx23418 revision 01010000 (B)<br>[ 7.969548] tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 74041, rev C6B2, serial# 6572159<br>[ 7.969556] tveeprom 0-0050: MAC address is 00-0D-FE-64-48-7F<br>[ 7.969562] tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, type 50)<br>[ 7.969568] tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08)<br>[ 7.969573] tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is CX23418 (idx 38)<br>[ 7.969578] tveeprom 0-0050: decoder processor is CX23418 (idx 31)<br>[ 7.969583] tveeprom 0-0050: has no radio, has IR receiver, has IR transmitter<br>[ 7.969588] cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge HVR-1600<br>[ 7.969593] cx18-0: Simultaneous Digital and Analog TV capture supported<br>[ 8.082821] IRQ 22/cx18-0: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs<br>[ 8.462010] tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (cx18 i2c driver #0-1)<br>[ 8.568078] cs5345 0-004c: chip found @ 0x98 (cx18 i2c driver #0-0)<br>[ 8.641657] tuner-simple 1-0061: creating new instance<br>[ 8.641666] tuner-simple 1-0061: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N)<br>[ 8.643101] cx18-0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG (64 x 32 kB)<br>[ 8.643110] DVB: registering new adapter (cx18)<br>[ 8.935027] MXL5005S: Attached at address 0x63<br>[ 8.935043] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend)...<br>[ 8.935222] cx18-0: DVB Frontend registered<br>[ 8.935228] cx18-0: Registered DVB adapter0 for TS (32 x 32 kB)<br>[ 8.935283] cx18-0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (16 x 128 kB)<br>[ 8.935338] cx18-0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (20 x 51984 bytes)<br>[ 8.935384] cx18-0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM audio (256 x 4 kB)<br>[ 8.935390] cx18-0: Initialized card: Hauppauge HVR-1600<br>[ 8.935427] cx18: End initialization<br>[ 9.040861] cx18 0000:02:0a.0: firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw<br>[ 9.093031] alloc irq_desc for 21 on node -1<br>[ 9.093038] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1<br>[ 9.093051] EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:02:09.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21<br>[ 9.252464] cx18-0: loaded v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw firmware (158332 bytes)<br>[ 9.303729] cx18 0000:02:0a.0: firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-apu.fw<br>[ 9.660682] cx18-0: loaded v4l-cx23418-apu.fw firmware V00120000 (141200 bytes)<br>[ 9.667195] cx18-0: FW version: 0.0.74.0 (Release 2007/03/12)<br>[ 9.880036] cx18 0000:02:0a.0: firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw<br>[ 10.045067] cx18 0000:02:0a.0: firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-apu.fw<br>[ 10.369705] cx18 0000:02:0a.0: firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-dig.fw<br>[ 10.748174] cx18-0 843: loaded v4l-cx23418-dig.fw firmware (16382 bytes)<br>[ 10.769697] cx18-0 843: verified load of v4l-cx23418-dig.fw firmware (16382 bytes)<br><br>after that boot messages say nothing about video capture. lspci does see the card, though:<br><br>02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc.
