In which case you DIDN'T have a "Mark 2" installed. You have done a plain mono ALPS tuner installation. "Mark 1" and "Mark 2" refer to the stereo decoder versions of the PAL tuner install only.Originally Posted by dozley
You will. Anything pre-recorded (and that includes startup animation sound and key press sound effects) are from the hard disk through the MPEG decoder. You have only touched the front end of the TiVo which is way before even the MPEG encoder and hard disk.the Tivo starts up and I get sound playing during the animation.
That would only have been required if you were using a pre-R1.3 (20050524) image, but should not make any difference.I have copied the palmod_config and palmod.o files across
This does not matter. Both tuners use the same I2C command set.and set the tuner type to be ALPS/samsung......
.........(in actual fact the tuner type is listed as samsung).
[You _did_ follow the directions for a mono sound install? That is, installing the sound cable from pin 21 of the ALPS tuner to two capacitors, one going to pin 56 and the other to pin 57 of the micronas chip?But still no sound! - argh! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
The fact that you have a picture means you should be getting sound because in the mono install configuration the tuner itself is responsible for decoding the sound to a line-level audio output that can be fed directly into the micronas chip via the two capacitors.
You have either one of three scenarios:
1. not following the directions for a mono sound install (unlikely as the how to document spells it out rather well... i hope)
2. hooking up the sound wire or the capcitors incorrectly (check your work)
3. something amiss with palmod.o and palmod_config files, which is possible but shouldn't happen if you followed the instructions within the palmod update package correctly
Hope that helps
