Assuming you want PAL-I (ie UK):

Have you tried the latest v4l snapshot? PAL-I sound only started working 
on the CX88 from snapshot video4linux-20050120-125446.tar.gz 
(http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/).

You may then have to explicitly force the TV norm into PAL-I. Using 
tvtime, I use the following script to get it all started properly (you 
also need xawtv installed for this to work):

#!/bin/sh
nohup tvtime &
sleep 1
v4lctl setnorm PAL-I
tvtime-command CHANNEL_DOWN CHANNEL_UP

If that still doesn't work, you may have to explicitly load the tda9887 
module at boot (or at least before you load cx8800). When you load it 
correctly, you should see something like the following in dmesg when 
cx8800 loads (around the time that tuner gets set):

tda9885/6/7: chip found @ 0x86

If that still doesn't work, try placing this in /etc/modules.conf and 
reload:

options tda9885 qss=1


Hope some of that helps.

Ian
