Thanks Mike,

I guess I am building from source then rather than using the mythbuntu
binaries...

I can't help but wonder if it is related to upgrading alsa or something as I
expect other would have the issue...

I will try the clean install first and see if it lasts a while without audio
and step through the process before going the source route....

Question for you.... If I switch to source, will I need to do front and
backend or just front?

Cheers

Phil
