I can't help with the .asoundrc file, mine is very basic, from Jarod's Guide. I setup my first MythTV system this weekend. Using Jarod's guide, I built a combined .17 BE/FE PVR250 FX5200 FC3. ALSA:Default is working fine for me, although I was having some sound issues at first. I made a few changes based on Jarod's guide, posts from this list, and of course the MythTV docs, although I *think* the one that fixed the issue was removing arts, which was installed for KDE. From memory, I believe that I went into /usr/bin and moved artsd and artsdsp to artsd.orig and artsdsp.orig. I also setup MythTV to use an external mixer, although I can't recall where that is in the setup right now. Then played with the Kmix settings until I got sound working properly. The sound issue may have interfered with my video at first also, but I'm not sure as I was running into an issue where ivtv was not being loaded properly. If I understand spdif correctly, this is used for digital audio via an optical cable. I don't use this, so can't comment much further on it. However, I seem to remember finding some posts that refer to a spdif setting in MythTV setup. Have you tried changing this setting? Perhaps the default changed between versions? This information is from memory, and my buffer is pretty full from this weekend, but you might want to search the archives to see if you can dig up some reliable information on this. OT MythTV Praise: All in all, I think I spent about 10 hours really working on setup and troubleshooting, and at least 20 just playing around and tweaking things. Initial WAF is high, although at several points I heard things like "If it ain't broke, quit trying to fix it." Thanks Issac, Jarod, and everyone who contributes to this list. IMHO, this is the greatest OS app since Nagios. Garry
