hello everybody,

i've installed mythtv on fedora core 1 with apt-get. Everything works fine
except the audio. While watching live tv I don't have any sound except a
few "plops" when the buffer is empty and the video freezes a half second.
The backend server says the follow:

Starting up as the master server.

Unknown video codec
Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and
setup the four 'Software Encoders' profiles.
Assuming RTjpeg for now.
Unknown audio codec
ioctl VIDIOC_G_FMT: Onjuist argument

Getermineerd

I have configured the four software encodes as I think it must be but I
still have no sound.
When you see this message you think that i don't have any video but i have
it.

I'm using a bttv card and an onboard via soundcard

Thanks for helping anyway!

Jarno
