[vdr] Problems: illegal OSD device handle (-1)! and Very quiet sound

[Pasi Juppo <Pasi.Juppo@iki.fi>]

Hi,

Hope someone can help with these problems.

I've been struggling with the no sound issue. The sound is very very quiet 
and cannot be increased no matter what I do. I can barely hear it when I 
turn the TV set or receiver nearly to the max.

Friend of mine has the same card (specs below) and no problem. I did have 
the sound earlier but unfortunately I don't remember which version of the 
VDR was used nor which DVB drivers were used.

Connections are correct i.e. the board (integrated audio) works fine. I 
suspect that it has something to do with the DAC. But it's strange that 
equal setup with older kernel 2.4.22 (IIRC) works fine.


The other problem came up yesterday when I updated the dvb-kernel to the 
latest. Now I cannot get VDR to show the menu anymore. Following error 
comes to the /var/log/messages:

ERROR: illegal OSD device handle (-1)!

Seems that OSD cannot be accessed for some reason. Unfortunately I didn't 
backup the older version of the dvb-kernel and now I'm without menu. Also 
linux-dvb-1.1.1 does not work either for me (cannot get VDR to start up - 
could be something trivial but haven't looked into it - error log: no 
primary device found etc.)


Specs:
Asus Pundit
Siemens DVB-C rev 1.5
latest dvb-kernel (updated today from CVS)
VDR 1.3.12 + several patches (mainly subtitle related) + several plugins
kernel 2.6.7
