[mythtv-users] bt878 sound issue on Fedora Core 5

[Andrew Martin]

Thanks for the help.  How do I verify that WinTV is outputting audio?  Also, 
how do I use alsamixer to turn on DAC?  I see references to "Digital Audio 
Capture" in the F2 menu of alsamixer, but nowhere do I see how to turn 
things on and off.  Sorry, it's been a couple years since I messed with this 
stuff.

Thanks again,
Andrew
