Here's an interesting anomaly I've discovered. I have an 8 kHz sound file. If I play it using aplay:

aplay -D default <soundfile>

...then it plays fine. However, if I use the name of the device in my .asoundrc file:

aplay -D via82xx <soundfile>

...then I get the following output:

aplay: set_params:857: Sample format non available

This looks like it could be connected to the issue with mythtv. Does anyone know how to circumvent this problem?

I am having trouble getting MythTV to work with ALSA. Here is my current setup:

Hardware: PVR-350 for video, and the motherboard has Via VT1612A onboard sound. The PVR-350's audio-out goes directly into the Line- In on the sound card. I am using the PVR-350's tv-out as my main display.

Software: I am running Debian 3.1 (Sarge) with the alsa packages installed. I have MythTV compiled with both OSS and ALSA support.

My .asoundrc is as follows:

-----------------------------
pcm.via82xx {
        type hw
        card 0
}

ctl.via82xx {
        type hw
        card 0
}

-----------------------------

In MythTV, I have the following settings configured in Utilities/ Setup -> Setup -> General:

Audio output device: ALSA:default
Mixer Device: /dev/mixer
Mixer Controls: Master

If I try to watch tv or any of my recordings, I receive a warning that says "Unable to set ALSA parameters", and I am given the option to continue without audio or return to menu.

I have tested my ALSA setup by running "aplay -D default <soundfile>" from the command line, and the test was successful. lsmod shows the correct driver for my sound card loaded. ALSA appears to be set up correctly. I am almost certain that I'm missing some crucial setting in MythTV, but I don't know what or where. Can anyone help me?
