[mythtv-users] Re: No audio after transcode on PVR-350

[Korey Fort]

Do you hear a quick  pop on the transcoded file before sound drops out. I
have tried transcode on a few vob files. Instead of the sound being in sync
on the transcoded files, the sound would jump to somewhere in the middle of
the transcoded file but would play perfectly clear on the vob file. I had to
re-rip the dvd and transcode it over again. Maybe you are just going to have
to re-rip and re-transcode.

That's the strange thing. I have my audio card piped into my receiver  
and I don't get audio out of that, either. I also have on-board audio  
that I don't use on my motherboard. I tried plugging that in to see  
if it was being routed that way and still nothing. I'll take a closer  
look at my software mixer settings and see if I just screwed  
something up in there. Do you know what channel that audio should be  
coming through?
