US TiVo in Australia losing sound
Hi guys,
Thanks for looking into resolving this issue.
I have a TiVo modified for PAL using the "Mark 2" sound mod (MSP3410D chip) which is losing sound. On average, it's once a day; sometimes every few days, sometimes a few times a day. The TiVo is still responsive when the sound is gone, so obtaining logs is easy.
The TiVo was delivered with OzTivo v1.4 installed. This was upgraded using rsync/upgrade_oztivo to 1.6.2. Aside from replacing the startup animation to get rid of the choppy sound, it's stock standard running version 3.2 of palmod as is currently distributed.
Can you advise which palmod binary is the best to try to diagnose this? The PAL-I (post 36) and NZ ones (post 49) provided recently in this thread don't sound right for use in Australia.
Here's a copy of everything PALMOD related from /var/log/kernel
