My MythTV has been running well for a while now. I'm been running CVS on 2.6.9 kernel with alsa driver 1.07. I last updated on 12/30 and System Status reports the Myth version as 0.16.20041224-1. Since the last update, once a recording starts, audio is dead on the entire system. For example, today I had a scheduled recording. I was watching a show and I clicked the [sic] go ahead and record prompt. The recording started properly, but there was no audio. Now that the recording's done, I still have no audio. It just isn't Myth, but no audio app run as any user outputs any sound. They don't report any errors.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's happening or where to start looking?
Well, I got no response, but have isolated this problem further, and am more convinced it has to do with MythTV. I have rebuilt MythTV against a few ALSA (1.05, 1.06, 1.07, and 1.08) and ivtv (0.2.0-rc3 and 0.3.2) versions. I wish I could be more clear, but here's the behavior I observe. Sometimes (I can't see why it's not always since I record everything with the same settings) when I play a recording sound disappears. This can be either when I go via media library or as above, when I watch while recording. As above, sound is dead for all apps and users on my system. However, if I play a small MPEG with mplayer outside MythTV it seems to reset the sound.
I am configured to use ALSA:default for sound out.
Does this prod any further thoughts?
I wonder if the recent sound codebase updates have done something to the init/deinit of the sound code? _______________________________________________
