Re: cx88_alsa - getting loud white noise with capture card.

It sounds like I've not tuned the channel, but there is no channel -
it's a capture card with 8 inputs. When I try to change channels with
mplayer 'h' key, the sound changes slightly and I can hear it turn
sound off and turn it back on.

Is there a specific frequency I need to set? - I tried all channels
available in mplayer and all I hear is loud static/white noise.

Anyone?
