Hello all!! First, I pretty much had myth 0.15 working on a slower box....but, sound was choppy no matter what I did...so, I built another box, ASUS motherboard, Athlon processor
servername 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 # uname -a Linux servername 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 #3 SMP Sat Oct 16 06:00:33 CDT 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux 500 MB ram Audigy2 soundcard Alsa Other than that...I used the same working prv250 card, and harddrives. I'm running Gentoo with a 2.6 kernel I'm trying to get myth 0.16 running. I've to pretty much everything going on it with the exception of sound with the video. On music...sounds plays great. I can get myth to record video, just no sound. I can watch tv live, but, no sound. I tried mplayer /dev/video0....picture, but, no sound. So, I'm guessing it is ivtv error. When I start the mplayer...I get no errors...it appears to be trying to play sound. I have ivtv 0.2.0_rc3-r3 (I emerged with gentoo's package mgmt system...it says it is already set up to run with pvr 250/350....and it worked last time before rebuilding box ) I've been reading through the archives, and the links to the wiki...and have tried the following: n /etc/modules.conf add or edit this line: options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 standard=XX or on the command line, type: insmod msp3400 once=1 simple=1 standard=XX where XX is one of: 0x20 USA, Argentina 0x21 USA, Argentina However, doing the insmod msp3400 gave the following: 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 # insmod msp3400 once=1 simple=1 standard=0x20 insmod: can't read 'msp3400': No such file or directory However lsmod shows I have tht module: 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 # lsmod Module Size Used by snd_pcm_oss 50088 0 snd_mixer_oss 18176 1 snd_pcm_oss orinoco_pci 5440 0 orinoco 40268 1 orinoco_pci hermes 7808 2 orinoco_pci,orinoco lirc_dev 13708 0 ivtv 514452 0 tuner 18576 0 saa7115 11908 0 msp3400 21908 0 i2c_algo_bit 8840 1 ivtv videodev 7872 1 ivtv i2c_core 19648 5 ivtv,tuner,saa7115,msp3400,i2c_algo_bit nvidia 4819092 18 snd_emu10k1 93000 1 snd_rawmidi 21028 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm 83844 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1 snd_timer 22084 1 snd_pcm snd_seq_device 7240 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 64964 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_page_alloc 9480 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 3904 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 7812 1 snd_emu10k1 snd 47140 12 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_util_mem,snd_hwdep (I have not tried to get lirc working yet...and am just playing to my monitor right now.) I tried the suggestions on this thread that seemed to be the most relavent: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/80563?search_string=mplayer%20pvr%20250%20no%20sound;#80563 But these failed... I checked and my msp3400 seems to be in the correct place From the /lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r8 directory I do: find . -name "msp3400*" ./extra/msp3400.ko ./extra/msp3400.ko_old ./kernel/drivers/media/video/msp3400.ko ./kernel/drivers/media/video/msp3400.ko_old (the _old files are just where I backed up the original files...in case I was to try to move them...but, I've not done anythig here as of yet) When I do: 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 # modinfo msp3400 parm: probe:List of adapter,address pairs to scan additionally parm: probe_range:List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples to scan additionally parm: ignore:List of adapter,address pairs not to scan parm: ignore_range:List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples not to scan parm: force:List of adapter,address pairs to boldly assume to be present description: device driver for msp34xx TV sound processor author: Gerd Knorr license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 SMP K7 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3 depends: i2c-core Now according to the manual I got from Mythtv...it seems to indicate that since I don't have parm: standard int, that I may be using the wrong module....but, I'm at a loss on this issue... I've seen where myth does seem to try to mute things and have toggled the ivtvctl -y mute=0....with no avail. lspci give this: 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 # lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?)

If someone can help me or point to some links, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm SOOOOO close to having this work...but, I'm stuck. I've followed about 3 guides...the most popular ones...and I just cannot seem to get past this. Thanks in advance for any help you can give... Kelly
