[mythtv-users] ALSA/HDMI Losing my mind, ripping out hair

[Lee Maisel]

Thanks Michael,

I still get the same devices listed after a rescan, and none of the ones 
that have the correct information work.  If I go to test speakers, i get 
the invalid message.   Its bizarre.
on the devices that are not HDMI I get audio through the PC speaker.

Thanks,

Lee
