Well, kinda...... If you will *really* only be doing video/audio through the 350, it won't matter. However, the 350 is only good for MPEG2 and framebuffer. If you wish to use MythMusic or (IIRC) MPEG4 stuff in MythVideo, those play audio through the sound system. In fact, to do those reasonably, you need to loop the 350 audio out back into the soundcard in. Also, without using the loopback/sound system, Myth cannot control the volume of the (MPEG2) audio--you'd have to set your remote to control the TV or amplifier level. HTH DS (still trying to get any sound out of his new prototype 350 system). _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
