Hi everyone, im still struggling on this prebuffer pause thing. From all the postings ive read, its a very common thing, however i cant seem to find any fixes for it (maybe i missed it?)

Its very strange in that, if i use mplayer /dev/video0 it plays from the capture flawlessly with very fluid motion better than my normal tv in the house, however it doesnt produce any sound from the capture card.

my mp3s work fine so my sound card is working...

I tried aplay like a lot of people have, cept i get this static pop? kinda (just like you would get pluging a bass speaker in when its on), when it first connects, then nothing...
# aplay /dev/dsp
Playing raw data '/dev/dsp' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
underrun!!! (at least 10.160 ms long)
underrun!!! (at least 11.664 ms long)
underrun!!! (at least 11.686 ms long)
underrun!!! (at least 11.709 ms long)
underrun!!! (at least 11.682 ms long)
Aborted by signal Interrupt...


Can anyone give me some ideas?
Thanks

James

PS. jerome: did you have to change any settings in alsa mixer to get sound from your box? id be happy to get static so i know its atleast trying to work.

I too am getting this prebuffering pause, however in my case, I get less than a second of video, then it pauses. If i alt-tab and look at the output in the terminal it says:


I should add that the live tv video never comes back after the pause.

After a long pause, it automatically swtiches back to the menu *sometimes* (possibly when i freak out and get my nervousy twitch hitting a button the on my remote when it pauses on me) after a message is displayed on the screen saying
Error was encountered while displaying video.
[button at bottom]
Return to Menu


I also have a problem with not getting anysound.
Ive tried what is mentioned in the site http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php?SID&expandables=open&ivtv=open&pvr350out=open



which says to: # /sbin/rmmod ivtv # cd /lib/modules/$KVER/kernel/drivers/media/video # mv msp3400.ko msp3400.ko.orig

then

# /sbin/depmod -a
# /sbin/modprobe ivtv
# cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg
# mplayer /tmp/test_capture.mpg

but still no sound.


Thanks for all yuor help!

James
