[pvrusb2] Sound Problems

[Santiago Almenara]

Now I am worried.

I was about to buy the tuner... but I see that 2 persons had problems in such a short time, and they even had to RMA.

I live in Peru and international shipping is not as easy for returning stuff.  (mostly because of customs and the international shipping, itself)

Do these tuners have many problems???

Regards,
Santiago

Don't feel bad.  We're all vulnerable to this sort of thing.  If you look back into the list archives from last December you'll see me asking around about a symptom I was experiencing on a 29xxx device (B/W video).  I immediately assumed it was a driver bug.  Unlike your case, in my situation it took me 3 whole weeks of experimentation before I learned that perhaps I should try it out under Windows - whereupon I immediately reproduced the issue and shortly afterwards RMA'ed the device :-)
