racerraul, I agree that this is ridiculous. I never discovered the
internals of this issue but I did come up with a workaround that has
worked for the last year. I noticed that after playing a DVD or
listening to an MP3 through mythtv that I would lose my audio. Now,
when I say lose audio, I mean that when I went into mythtv and watched a
video, I would have no sound.
I figured out that if I left my video playing, opened up the sound panel and
hit the test button that suddenly my sound would come back. I believe it is
the test button that I am referring to, the one that plays the sine wave. So
the 2nd time I got up to fix this, I figured it needed to stop. I wrote the
following script and assigned it to a button on my remote:
#!/bin/bash
#Play an mp3 through gmplayer
gmplayer /home/burkza/fix.mp3&
#wait 3 seconds
ping 127.0.0.1 -c 3
#kill gmplayer
ps aux | grep fix.mp3 | gawk -F" " '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
It still works for me. I'll add the caveat that one possible reason
this works for me is the configured settings in gmplayer so ymmv. To my
knowledge I have never touched the gmplayer configuration.
Note that this bug is marked as invalid so is not getting any attention.
I plan on upgrading my server to 9.10 when it releases, doing a fresh
install and if this behavior is still present I'm opening up a new bug.
I feel everyone's pain, this should just work and it clearly does not.
