    Adding TV Card disables Sound Card



    I have an onboard sound card that has been working fine based on default settings for some time. I have added a Pinnacle TV card and now find that the sound card is no longer configured after boot. Can anybody provide advice on what config step I am missing?

    Debian = Sarge

    desktop:~# lspci | grep -i audio
    0000:00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
    0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)

    desktop:~# cat /proc/asound/cards
    0 [Bt878 ]: Bt87x - Brooktree Bt878
    Brooktree Bt878 at 0xee800000, irq 169

    desktop:~# lsmod | grep snd_
    snd_via82xx 29604 0
    snd_ac97_codec 69508 1 snd_via82xx
    gameport 4736 2 analog,snd_via82xx
    snd_mpu401_uart 8000 1 snd_via82xx
    snd_rawmidi 25316 1 snd_mpu401_uart
    snd_seq_device 8264 1 snd_rawmidi
    snd_bt87x 14536 4
    snd_pcm_oss 54376 0
    snd_mixer_oss 19904 3 snd_pcm_oss
    snd_pcm 97480 3 snd_via82xx,snd_bt87x,snd_pcm_oss
    snd_timer 25668 1 snd_pcm
    snd 57380 14 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_raw midi,snd_seq_device,snd_bt87x,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixe r_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
    snd_page_alloc 11720 3 snd_via82xx,snd_bt87x,snd_pcm

    As best as I can tell the right modules are loaded for the soundcard but /proc only sees the TV card?

    I'm not sure how much help this will be, but I find only one sound card works at a time. That is to say they both work but only one is used at a time. If I plug in my USB headset, I can choose in kmix between the headset or the soundcard.
