Hi Daniel,

Here is :

I'm back under Dapper to use this TV card because it's the only big problem I have under Gusty.
Before that, I tested the card TV under Feisty and same problem except a small difference in the log result : ALSA lib control.c:910:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL alsa

Dapper : ok
Edgy : ?
Feisty : error
Gusty : error

Tested with a Hauppauge HVR 1110. I've not configured v4l for Dapper for the moment focusing on the audio problem :

Should be fixed in hardy's linux 2.6.24-12.20 and l-u-m 2.6.24-12.17.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
