RRG+G400DH = no tv tuner

[Boul]

Now that win98 recognizes my RRG, it seems I can't get the tv tuner to work...I get a black and green screen, with no sound. Autoscan seems to skip about 1 out of three channels, and I followed the troubleshooting tips in the manual. Cable connection is fine, as it was working ok when I pulled it off a TV.

This is starting to resemble my SBLIVE/nt4.0 install fiasco...

Hi,

welcome to to wonderful world of RRG problems.
I have exactly the same problem as yours. My TV tuner is not detected on my system (win98). But I also have audio problem, audio out delivers only noise !!
This topic has been developped in the past and it seems it could be a Power Supply problem. I have tried many PS but none of them resolve my problem.
You write about IRQ assignment to the RRG ? Do you have an IRQ for your G400 and another for your RRG ?

Write me if your solve your pb, thanks

I bought a year old RRG from a friend and had the same problem...nothing but hissing from the sound, tv tuner not working.

BTW my motherboard is Abit BX6 V2.

Matrox replaced the RRG (11 out of 10 for effort) and the new card wasn't detected reliably each time.

Changing the power supply fixed the second card.

Maybe earlier cards aren't so G400 friendly and later ones require a stronger power supply?

I have a 300W power supply, off an Aopen full tower AX08, so if this is the problem, I guess I need a 500W...

This compatibility problem sucks, I should have gotten the marvel...

My RRG is conected to a G200 but i have a similar situation!
Often my RRG is dead, no sound no tuner!
But feeding input through the composit and reeboting always fix it (and if it doesent i wrigle the composit and coaxial conectors and it works after a reebot)
Im not sure way but as long as it doesent die compleatly im sticking with it!
