[mythtv-users] audio static

[Paul McKellar]

wow.  i had this working previously (2.5 years ago) and only recently
got cable again.  i remember something happening with static last
time, but not this bad.  i wonder if the difference in drivers is
causing more "flooding" or is it a hardware/analog thing.

either way, that is good lead.  i got it to play back using mplayer,
and the recording has static in it.    and i guess the audio feed of
the line-in directly patched to the speaker-out would not get close to
the pci bus, hmm well maybe my roomie has a soundcard i can trial.

i want to hook a better amp and speaker system up to the computer so i
can lower teh mixer levels and see how that affects everything. i
don't think the problem is the speaker, just want more power for
amplification.  anyways, painting my living room is hold up more trial
and error.  i'll post results as i get em.

thanks
