[mythtv-users] Gravely audio

[steve]

Now that I have playback audio working on my system, I notice there is
terrible audio quality.  This is hard to describe, but it's "gravely," like
there are very frequent short drop-outs.  This happens not only when I play
back via Mythtv, but also when I play the mpeg via the Totem movie player in
Gnome.

 

To rule out the possibility that the capture device (HDPVR) is defective, I
copied the mpeg file onto a windoze machine and played it, and the audio
sounds fine.  To rule out some problem with the audio hardware on the linux
box I played a CD, which also sounds fine.

 

So somehow the problem only occurs when playing the audio from mpeg files.
Mythtv is configured to use ALSA:front for output (ALSA:default wouldn't
work).  I don't know if Totem uses that too.  

 

I realize this appears not to be a mythtv-specific problem (I also posted on
the fedora list) but I was wondering if any other mythtv users have had this
problem, and if so how they fixed it.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
