[mythtv-users] Suddenly: no sound

[Harry Devine]

I went to watch a recording a little earlier, and discovered that my 
sound is no longer working.  When I run mythfrontend, try Watch TV, then 
exit all the way out, I see the following error listed:

NVP: Disabling Audio, reason is: snd_pcm_open(default): no such file or 
directory.

If I try to use the Soundcard Detection and press the Play button, I 
hear nothing at all their either.  The sound devices found in there are 
shown as nVidia CK804 AC97 audio controller using module snd-intel8x0 
and PNPb006 using module snd-mpu401.  This has been the same since I 
installed this box from day one and it's always worked until now.

Running alsamixer used to show a whole bunch of settings, but now it 
only shows Conexant CX8801 and only shows Playback, nothing else.  I 
didn't see anything in the logs except for the NVP error above.

Any ideas on why this suddenly quit on me?

Thanks,
Harry
