I received my Turtle Beach Riviera card and it seems to have fixed all my audio problems! I modified the kernel drivers, and had to change one line in .asoundrc; from device 4 to device 2; and the problems described above are gone! Thanks for all those that helped. I can't say for certain that the on-board audio hardware was the cause, but a $25 replacement is a good enough solution for me. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
