You need to look into using the "dmix" functionality of ALSA instead of the deprecated (on 2.6 kernels) OSS sound platform.
Look at http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo to see about setting up an .asoundrc. Mostly you download the one he provides and probably change the "device" parts inside it to correspond to your digital output. Also uncomment the appropriate line to pick what you want as "default".
Then type this in as the sound device in myth "ALSA:mixed-analog".
% aplay -D mixed-analog $HOME/english.au
I was able to hear it and assumed it worked, but when I use ALSA:mixed-analog with MythTV, I still get no sound when playing back recordings or watching live tv.
To use Myth's volume control with ALSA it's as simple asI tried to use external mixer settings and doing this. Neither seemed to help my situation.
putting "mixed-analog" (as opposed to "ALSA:mixed-analog" in the sound
device part) in the mixer device setting. I left "Master" in the
control part.
Thanks much for the input. I believe it set me in the right path. I hope I can work this out soon. So frustrating.In /etc/mplayer.conf, set "ao=alsa:device=mixed-analog"
If you use arts in KDE (which is the default), tell it to use the mixed-analog too. Go into sound system settings, force it to use ALSA, and override the device location and put mixed-analog in there.
Then go ahead and play some Metallica in noatun or Juk while you watch
TV or a recording. Listen the sounds mix!
Hope this helps.
If anytone else can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
