Hi all, I can't get sound with Myth, and I can't watch live TV. I assume I can't watch live TV b/c of the sound problem, it seems to record fine however (without sound, that is.)
I have an old PIII with an ISA card slot, which holds my SoundBlaster16. This card works fine under windows. I'm currently using Fedora Core 2, upgraded to current. I have used Jarod's guide as much as possible to get to this point (http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fc2myth.php). I have installed isapnp and pnpdump, dumped this to /etc/isapnp.conf, rebooted, went in via alsamixer, set all the settings, including setting the line-in to mute and capture (by pressing m and space respectivley). I can hear the sound via the tvtime app, when I switch the line out from the card to the mic port, and unmute it, I can hear sound good. If I mute it, I can't hear it. If I use line-in, I hear the TV all the time, even when not using tvtime. I'm then told/read somewhere that I should be able to aplay /dev/dsp and that has never worked. Sometimes I will get a message that it's so-and-so frequency at herz mono. But I never hear anything. Sometimes I get a broken stream, or an error at 1871. These are all very generic to me, and havn't yielded much. I USED to get messages in myth gui that said "are you sure you want to play this clip as you have no sound" (or something to that effect.) Since I did these last few tweaks, that message has disappeared, but still no sound. I have three isa soundcards, only this one works. The other two don't ever register via pnpdump (no cards found). I have a similar box that has on-board sound, and I have one open slot for an actual PCI card. however, if there was something simple out there, I'd like to try that first. Some of the other things I noticed are: 1: Muted volumes (not me, I get sound, just not in myth or from aplay /dev/dsp) 2: install alsa-utils (As far as I can tell, I have most of the utils as a lot of alsa is in the kernal, from what I gather. I modprobed several alsa utils, and they are all present) Any help would be appreciated, I have reached the end of my rope! -=J -- 6 gmail invites, email me for one.
