Setting audio level in palmod_config

[hilly]

Hi all,

In the couple of years I've been using using the Tivo I've noticed the audio level has always been well below my other A/\v devices. After finally deciding to do something about it I went into palmod_config to adjust the audio levels for composite(foxtel) and s-video(stb). The problem I have is making the changes stick. I can save and exit but as soon as I go back into palmod_config the old values (25 &25) are back. Have I missed something obvious?

cheers

Paul

If you are using PuTTY as your telnet client then you will also need to untick "Return key sends telnet New Line instead of ^M" in the Connection -> Telnet settings.

I have already unticked "Return key sends telnet New Line instead of ^M". I can change the values and see that they have changed, but if I save & exit and then restart palmod_config the original values are back. I've also tried rebooting the tivo in case the new values are only read on startup.

Before running palmod you'll need to change the mount permission to read/write by running rw then run palmod then change it back to read-only using ro.

ie:
rw
palmod_config
ro

Should of mentioned I'd done that

OK, The only other thing I can think of is the permissions on the /etc/palmod.conf file.

Also compare the contents before and after to make sure it's actually changed.

ls -l gives

-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 168 Jul 9 16:35 palmod.conf

The time/date is my last attempt at using palmod_config the save new settings.

Does this look reasonable ?

That looks fine.

The only other thing I can think of is for you to edit the file manually.

pico /etc/palmod.conf

The entire contents of palmod.config:

t_bri=125 t_con=67 t_sat=85 s_bri=125 s_con=67 s_sat=85 c_bri=125 c_con=67 c_sat=85 h_res=544 d_audio=1 t_type=1 f_table=0 h$

Doesn't seem to be any reference to audio levels

[petestrash]

There does appear to be an error setting the sound levels using palmod_config.

The manual variables to use are t_presc, s2_presc, s3_presc.

You need to adjust s2 & s3.

Peter.

[hilly]

Excuse my ignorance in things linux, so I just need to add s2_presc=xx and
s3_presc=xx to palmod.config? How does t_presc fit in?

[petestrash]

Yes, just add s2_presc=xx and s3_presc=xx to palmod.conf

s2_presc is for S-video input volume.
s3_presc is for Composite input volume.
t_presc is for tuner input volume.

All have a range 0-125.

Only downside making the changes this way is they won't go live till you reboot.

Thanks Peter, that did the trick. Interesting that palmod_config still shows the values as the original 25, even though I now have them set to 100.
