Hi all,

 

            Just wanted to say that I have been a lurker for a long time and have been playing with mythtv for a long time as well.

 

            I have everything working right now except for one thing, that is a Xbox frontend.

 

            Here is what I have:

 

            Backend server:

            2.8 P4

            512M RAM

            2 PVR-250 cards

            1 HD3000 card (not configured currently)

 

            Running Gentoo with mythtv 0.17

 

            Frontend:

 

            Xbox (software mod only (mech assault installer), no hardware changes)

            Xebian (latest release, 1.0.3?)

            Mythtv-xbox from http://bit.blkbk.com 0.4.4

 

            The install of the frontend went well enough, although trying to do the full xebian install from the install script at mythtv-xbox didn’t do anything, so I did a normal install from a DVD-R (my xbox doesn’t like CDRs—phillips drive I think).  After installing xebian I ran the mythtv-xbox install script which installed everything from the looks of it.

 

            Everything works except the audio (via the optical digital out).  I looked at several posts regarding this, and saw some references to modifying the modules.conf entries (via /etc/modutils/alsa).  I wasn’t able to get xbox=1 to stick in alsa, so I unloaded the snd-intel8x0 driver and loaded again via “modprobe snd-intel8x0 xbox=1”.  This loaded, but reported xbox=1 is not a valid option.  Checking the logs via dmesg, when the driver is loaded automatically or via modprobe it reports that AC’97 isn’t responding and is reset.  I assume this is my core problem, but I can’t seem to find a way to make it work.

 

            I also tried getting the kernel source and building alsa from scratch, but configure –with-cards=intel8x0 reports that intel8x0 isn’t a valid card (despite being listed as an option in configure.

 

            So, any ideas on what I can do to get my audio working?

 

Thanks,

 

Ron.
