Description
My DVB-T is correctly detected, but the DVB-S does not even appear in dmesg. It is as if it isn't even plugged in. However, it was recording yesterday on R5.5.
Looking at lspci, the card is in 1:08. Searching dmesg, I found the following:
Emagic Audiowerk 2 0000:01:08.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNK3] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
Audiowerk 2 sound card (saa7146 chipset) detected and managed
It looks like it is mistakenly detected as a sound card.
Anyway I can blacklist this driver? I haven't figured out arch linux well enough yet.
My system:
Athlon 2500+
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe, 1Gig, SATA
GeForce4 MX 440, PVR-250, DVD
Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T
Technotrend Budget S-1500 DVB-S

Found a workaround. I added a file to /etc/modprobe.d with the following contents:
blacklist snd_aw2
See http://smart-home-blog.com/archives/1021 for more details.

Thanks, I had the same problem with a Terratec Cynergy 1200C DVB-C Card. This Card has also a SAA7146 Chip.
It is also possible to blacklist a module in the /etc/rc.conf:
# Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a module with a ! to blacklist it
#
MODULES=($MOD_BLACKLIST_ !snd_aw2)

Hi,
it sounds very similar to trouble with Satelco EasyWatch PCI DVB-S card (with CI connector), whose PCI bridge is also Philips SAA7146 chipset. That case is described under ticket #697, and discussed further on LinHES forum, within the thread Satelco EasyWatch PCI DVB-S 1131:7146:1894:001b.
Under R6.01.00, I did go through the same workaround (blacklisting snd_aw2 into /etc/modprobe.d), but haven't solved the case entirely. cx8802 dvb driver was still loading, and may have interfered, as I got very deceptive scan results and remained unable to tune to any channel. R6.02.00 did not worked better.
Under R6.02.00, I tuned /etc/rc.conf as Bohner suggested, with no success. Adding the line MODULES=($MOD_BLACKLIST_ !cx8802) has just no effect. As Cecil wrote once that R6 uses runit!, perhaps it supersedes entirely /etc/rc.conf. Would be great if R6.03.00 does fix the SAA7146 bug.

Please test this with the next R7 iso and report back.

Unfortunately, I'm on a different distro at the moment. A few others have reported this issue. Maybe one of them can re-test?
