[mythtv-users] audio deleted after recording is finished

[Mark Covington]

I seem to remember an earlier posting about our problem...but I can't 
seem to find it in the archives now though.  Perhaps someone else on the 
list may remember and help point the way.  It appears that 
"WatchingPreRecorded" plays our files without sound, and 
"WatchingRecording" plays the files with sound.  I.E. if we are watching 
a recording and it finishes recording the sound cuts out immediately as 
mythfrontend changes to using "WatchingPreRecorded".  So something must 
be different in the two players to cause such a problem.

Secondly (and this is where I remember a similar problem, but not the 
solution).  You'll find that if you are recording a program at the same 
time, the sound will come in fine on any prerecorded program.  Odd I 
know, it doesn't seem that one should have anything to do with the 
other.  Oh well, perhaps it will jog the memory of another user and what 
they found solved the problem.  Please reply Edward if the symptoms I 
added above also apply in your case.
