Your right, but I tried under my mythtv user and got the same results.  I
will work from that user for now on.

I don't think it's the remote.  If I set the remote down and use the up and
down arrows the channels change but I usually loose audio after the change.

Right, always loose, but once out of 15 it did come back.  Changed channel
again and lost it for another few channel changes and couldn't get it back.

Onboard motherboard AC'97.  Going through the instructions at
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-intel8x0 right
now.  Maybe it's an audio driver issue?  I'll let you know if it fixes after
I build it.  I don't see the line :

 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0"


in my dist.conf under /etc/modprobe.d/

So I'm guessing it isn't using it?  I'm new to alsa, and not great with
Linux to begin with so I'm not sure.  Figured I could build and insert that
command myself to be sure.


Is it possible the IR is hitting an audio receiver or

I don't think so.  I can change volume and mute works just fine from my
Hauppauge receiver.  No line of sight to DirecTv, STB.  Plus changing
channels from keyboard produces same result.



Thanks in advance,
Jim
