I plugged headphones into line out jack of capture card and hear no sound
when using mythtv livetv. I made sure I was using correct hole and made sure
line was not muted on kmixer. I tried the same thing using xawtv and I get
sound regardless if line is muted or not in kmix I get sound from line out
of capture card using xawtv. I even turned off master volume and still get
sound. I guess that's because mixer is only for sound card and not capture
card. so if there is no sond from myth livetv and sound from xawtv does that
mean software issue or hardware?
I plugged patch cable back in and started xawtv with line unmuted and got
sound. Next, I muted line in using kmix and left recording line in red led
on and did aplay /dev/dsp and still get no sound.The capture slider is
turned up and on.
[root at pegasus root]# ls -l /dev/dsp*
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Dec 8 13:14 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp
ls -l adsp*
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Dec 8 13:14 adsp -> sound/adsp
dsp seems to be the right one
here is modprobe.conf. I added the alias as suggested. Do I have to reboot
or is there a command I can do to reload the audio stuff?
alias autofs autofs4
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
options bttv radio=1 gbuffers=4
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 tulip
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-emu10k1
&& { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-$
install snd-maestro3 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install
snd-maestro3 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pc$
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd;
/bin/true
remove snd-emu10k1 { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ;
/sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove sn$
remove snd-maestro3 { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ;
/sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove s$
I think I will try another sound card and another computer if there are no
other suggestions?
