Check permissions, Myth uses more devices that xmms, so some may not be set up with right permissions. You did not say what distribution you use, but you need to configure it to change permissions of the following devices (probably an overkill, but this will get everything covered). /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/sound/* /dev/snd/* /dev/sound If you have /etc/security/console.perms file (RH-derived distros do), then that's where it is setup, make sure <sound> group includes these devices. I usually change their permissions to 0666 so I can use them even if I log in remotely to test stuff. > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > -- Fedor G Pikus ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.pikus.net http://wild-light.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
