[mythtv-users] Re: stumped "audio waiting for buffer to fill"

[Tom Blaireau]

Is there any configuration in mythtv where you can reduce the audio buffer?

Anyway, this problem could be thrown because Mythtv is waiting for the
capture audio to get more audio input. It could be a crash of your audio
card while watching to the tv.
I suggest you to verify all audio configuration, (alsamixer, mythtv
config) and to verify your 'cache' disk (maybe something is wrong with
him..)
