ullix, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.27 needs-upstream-testing regression- potential ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998143 Title: em28xx incorrectly sets Terratec Grabster AV350MX resulting in no sound - Workaround provided Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The em28xx module is used with a lot of TV and video hardware, and is needed also for the video grabber Terratec Grabster AV350MX. However, with this external, USB connected device the wrong settings are applied, allowing only a (good quality) video picture, but no sound at all. Applying the workaround results in both good picture and good sound. The Terratec Grabster AV350MX (lsusb: 0ccd:0084) has a cheaper sister grabber Terratec Grabby (0ccd:0096) with the same hardware chip Empia EM2860. In the kernel driver file em28xx.h the former is card#68, while the latter is card#67. Using Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit, kernel 3.2.0-24 correctly recognizes the AV350MX, and loads some modules, but then has no sound using mplayer (commands below) , vlc, arecord. Apply these workaround steps to reload em28xx with the settings for the sister card. Thereafter dmesg incorrectly identifies the card as Terratec Grabby, but sound now works in addition to picture: - (insert Grabster and leave inserted) - sudo rmmod em28xx - sudo modprobe em28xx card=67 Now enjoy video with sound with (PAL video, video on /dev/video0, sound on alsa hw:1,0): mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=720:height=576:outfmt=uyvy:device=/dev/video0:input=0:fps=25:alsa:amode=1:forcechan=2:audiorate=48000:adevice=plughw.1,0:forceaudio:immediatemode=0 -ao sdl,alsa or record to file with (1 minute of uncompressed video/sound): mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=720:height=576:device=/dev/video0:input=0:fps=25:alsa:amode=1:forcechan=2:audiorate=48000:adevice=plughw.1,0:forceaudio:immediatemode=0 -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideofile -endpos 00:01:00 I verified that the error still exists in kernel 3.4.0-rc6. Could someone help me to "automate" the workaround until this is fixed in the kernel? --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
