New Hauppauge PVR 150 500 drivers for Vista: Support and Troubleshooting



You can set the WinTV to run in Primary display mode to get the video in the WinTV2000. You must have the latest version of the Hauppauge Software decoders and version 1.6 or higher of the WinTV-PVR-250/350 drivers.


This error will only come up if the VFW drivers have been installed on the system. For example, if you had a different model WinTV installed that requires VFW drivers and installed the PVR 250/350 software over it, you may get this error. You may also get this error if you have downloaded and installed the PVR PCI updated drivers mistakenly.




New Hauppauge PVR 150 500 drivers for Vista



Under certain memory configurations on 32-bit platforms, using this card's driver and some other drivers (usually but not exclusively nVidia's proprietary driver) at the same time requires more of a particular type of address space allocated than the kernel will allocate by default. If you experience the driver refusing to load for no obvious reason, check the output of `dmesg`. If you see either of the two following messages appear, you will need to go to Common Problem: vmalloc too small to learn how to apply a very small kernel configuration change which requires one reboot.


You need a 2.6.x kernel to make this card work properly. The drivers which work with the 2.4 kernel, even patched, are old and can no longer be expected to work reliably with MythTV 0.22 or newer. Using a kernel 2.6.29 or newer is highly recommended as this brings the kernel driver up to speed with the last release of the userspace tools (ivtv 0.4.0). Reports that you need to compile ivtv yourself outside the kernel tree can be considered old/obsolete information, as the ivtv driver itself completed the move into the kernel around version 2.6.26.


There appear to be well-known and repeatable audio quality problems (everywhere you google) about Hauppauge PVR-xxx cards and MythTv. From weeks of Googling for help and testing combinations of IVTV drivers, Myth versions, kernel versions, hardware settings etc., I've come to the conclusion that Myth does not cleanly set (and reset) the audio channel on channel change, or system startup. ivtvctrl -q0 -d0, ivtvctrl -q0 -d1 repeated a couple of times temporarily corrects the audio problems (until next channel change). The problems may be timing-related in the API between MythTv and IVTV. I will be looking into the source to investigate the API issues between IVTV and MythTv. I'll post results. Currently running MythTV 0.20, ivtv 0.4.7, kernel (Ubuntu Dapper) 2.6.15-27-amd64-generic, PVR-500, Nvidia GeForce etc. No dmesg problems reported, no logged mythtv problems, no logged ivtv problems (ivtvctrl -D 99). To the software things look okay - to the listener, audio is clobbered.


Click on the Hauppauge device to open it. If you see the following: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" This appears to be a bug in Windows 64 bit OS since the Hauppauge Windows drivers are signed.


The latest versions of WinTV v10, 8.5 and WinTV v8 and Hauppauge Capture include these drivers. But if you are looking just for the Windows 10 driver, these are updated drivers which can be used with Windows 10.


Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.


Windows 10 requires special drivers to avoid errors during the Hauppauge product installation. The latest versions of WinTV v10, WinTV 8.5, WinTV v8 and Hauppauge Capture include these drivers. But if you are looking just for the Windows 10 driver, these are updated drivers which can be used with Windows 10.


Hauppauge heeft enkele dagen geleden nieuwe drivers uitgebracht welke geschikt zijn voor de WinTV-PVR-150MCE, PVR-500MCE en Amity 2. Ze zijn alleen geschikt voor Windows XP MediaCenter Editie 2005 en hebben versienummer 2.0.35.23258. De drivers zijn voorzien van een WHQL-certificering en de download is ongeveer een halve megabyte groot. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:


You are correct, nothing you can do until an update is available to SageTV and a new beta is released for Media Center support. The webpage is incorrect when they refer to the existing HD-PVR beta drivers working.


FYI: I added a screenshot of Hauppauge Device Central to the FAQ. Device Central is a new configuration tool available in the Media Center drivers that will let you configure device settings (Audio Input, Video Input) and device which Colossus to add to Media Center.


Yep, tried that as well. Both cards work, but maybe its one of my pci-e slots. I think I might give that another try. Gonna uninstall drivers and all and install only one card at a time to see if that helps. I think the first time around I tried installing both at the same time. 2ff7e9595c
