Help please - have spent a couple of weeks on this - and the wife wants me to
get sky+ instead!..
I am trying to setup a mythtv installation in the lounge using a Shuttle
ST61G4 machine. (ATI RS300 + IXP150 chipset - Intel P4 3Gz)
Apart from trying and failing to get the fglrx driver working for the
graphics card and using the vesa for now - it's the sound problem that is
the show stopper.
mplayer playback skips around - giving xrun errors at the point of the
skipping (see below). Using oss emulation gives bigger skips but no
messages.
Note also - the startup messages in the syslogs.
I have run out of things to try and would really welcome some guidance - even
if you don't know how to solve - if you have a suggestion of something to try
- please let me know.
I have tried the following:-
1. Proved hardware is ok - working in Windoze XP
2. Recompiled kernal and installed alsa 1.0.6/7 and the latest 1.08 - all the
same
3. run mplayer with -nosound - and no skipping
4. tried other players - like xine - same problems
5. recompiled kernel for oss - but could not get support for the ixp hardware
6. turned off apm in kernel - same
7. played arround with many settings in bios for interupts etc - same
8. tried switching off hyperthreading and apci in bios - same
9. made deal with wife - if not running by next xmas - we'll get sky+ - !!
10. tried files local and nfs mounted - same
11. installed a different video card and switched off on board - same (but
got drivers working ok on this card)
12. removed the pvr350 card - same
am considering trying a different package of linux (red hat?) is this worth
it?
am considering ebay-ing the machine and getting an nvidea based one!
am curious that other people are not appearing to have these problems - what
am I doing wrong?
Looking forward to anyones suggestions
Thanks
