I really do appreciate your time, Brad.
I don't know which repository I installed mythtv from. "yum info
mythtv" just says that it's installed:
Version: 0.19
Release: 130.fc5.at
Size : 1.5 M
Repo : installed
The repos I have set up for yum are "atrpms", "core", "livna",
"updates", "freshrpms", and "extras".
I do _not_ have tv sound in either mythtv or tvtime on FC5, but I do
have sound in both when I boot up FC4. "ALSA:default" is not a choice
in either OS in the mythtv settings - the four dropdown choices are the
same in both.
I don't think I've ever run across anything called "Jarod's guide".
