I'm having trouble with recorded audio through my PVR250, and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to resolve the issue.
When I first boot my mythTV box, I can use "mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0" to play a video stream with no problems -- both audio and video are fine. (The same holds true when I'm watching live TV in mythTV.) However, once I record a program, the audio gets louder and extremely choppy. What's worse -- once I've recorded a program, the audio problem persists even after quitting mythTV ! (Running "mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0" has choppy audio as well). The only fix I've found so far is to reboot the machine. (Unfortunately, this only works until I try to record again, which renders my PVR250 with mythTV rather useless...) Has anyone encountered a similar problem? It seems like mythTV may be making a change to the card settings, but I don't know how to figure out what the change is, or what to do about it. I'm relatively confident that the problem isn't in my audio setup -- sound (and recordings) continue to work just fine for my Air2PC card, and music/Videos play without any problem. I'm running mythbackend version: 0.17.20050130-1 mythfrontend version: 0.17.20050130-1 compiled with internal ALSA support and ALSA:spdif Any help would be greatly appreciated... ~Dean Output from mythbackend: <snipped> 2005-03-30 16:06:19.304 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-03-30 16:06:34.096 Reschedule requested for id 41. 2005-03-30 16:06:34.253 Scheduled 81 items in 0.2 = 0.10 match + 0.05 place 2005-03-30 16:06:34.395 Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None 2005-03-30 16:06:34.480 Started recording "Home Improvement" on channel: 2010 on cardid: 2, sourceid 2 2005-03-30 16:06:34.986 Changing from None to RecordingOnly 2005-03-30 16:06:35.053 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-03-30 16:06:35.053 adding: hercules.hepcats.net as a client (events: 0) 2005-03-30 16:06:36.102 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-03-30 16:06:36.102 adding: hercules.hepcats.net as a client (events: 0) 2005-03-30 16:07:33.350 Reschedule requested for id 41. 2005-03-30 16:07:33.441 Scheduled 81 items in 0.1 = 0.00 match + 0.09 place Output from mythfrontend <snipped> 2005-03-30 16:06:37.014 Opening audio device 'spdif'. 2005-03-30 16:06:37.021 Using XV port 145 2005-03-30 16:06:37.166 Using realtime priority. 2005-03-30 16:06:37.167 Changing from None to WatchingRecording 2005-03-30 16:06:37.269 Video timing method: RTC 2005-03-30 16:06:54.215 Changing from WatchingRecording to None 2005-03-30 16:06:54.221 Changing from None to None _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
