Hello..thanks for the reply. I've seen someone else is posting with
same type problems....with same advice.
I'm using a gentoo distro...
I went to /etc/modules.d/aliases, and added the suggested line. I did
modules-update command...and this indeed put the line in my
/etc/modules.conf
However, I still get picture but, no sound when playing directly from
mplayer (mplayer /dev/video0), nor with mythtv.
Have I missed something else...would this require a computer reboot or
is there another command to refresh a process this affects?
Thanks in advance..
