    a little help with Xawtv configuration?

    Xawtv is the only program that will recognize the integrated webcam on my vaio-cr. I can see myself, and snap photos, but haven't been successful in recording any video so far. I don't know how to go about creating a configuration file for the program, and I'm guessing that may be what's causing the problem. Anybody have some pointers for configuring Xawtv?

    Re: a little help with Xawtv configuration?

    hi i installed xaw tv in my pc...
    video is working fine
    audio from tv tuner card is fine(but low in volume) when i hear with headphone joined to the card

    but now i have connected the audio out of the tv tuner to line in of audio card

    OS-ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron

    in sound preferences i have set "OSS open sound system" for all options

    for default mixer tracks i set "sigmatel stac9221 A1 (OSS mixer)"

    when i run xaw tv and click "test" button next to "sound capture" in "sound preferences" i could hear the audio from my ps2 in the speakers connected to my pc

    in xawtv,

    video source=composite2 //my ps2 video input
