an awesome package!). There are 2 problems I am currently having, well one is a

the sound on alsa (using alsamixer), I un-mute my video “Line In”
and everything works awesome…I get sound. If I reboot, the setting goes
back to mute and I have to re-run alsamixer to un-mute it again. There was a
command that I ran AFTER configuring alsa sound when I was building my MythTV
box using Fedora, which was “</span></font>/usr/sbin/alsactl store”,
but it does not work on the KnoppMyth build (built on Debian). Does anyone know
the command that is similar to this for the Debian/KnoppMyth?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I am going to put together a mini “How To” for getting
Knoppmyth up and running with the PVR350 TV out. I am going to list all the
problems that I encountered and the fixes I used to correct them. One such
problem was every time I brought up the OSD channel guide and I scrolled
through it, the entire TV Out would freeze, the box didn’t freeze just
the video out on the TV out port. I replaced the included fb driver with a ivtvdev
driver I found and made the modifications in my XF86Config file to use that
driver and I haven’t had a lockup since.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I can post this (I don’t have a website as of yet) but I would like to
put it “out there” to help other people. It will be a guide on
KnoppMyth, but the fixes that I found scattered on the web can be used on any
*NIX Myth build….I just want to compile it into one nice place. Other
stuff that will be in there will be on getting Lirc to work with the PVR250/350
remote along with a Homebrew Transmitter to have MythTv change channels, a
simple fix for anyone that’s having “black screen” during Live
TV and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

MythTv, Lirc, ivtv and all the other packages required by MythTv...FANTASTIC
job guys!!! This HTPC software is FAR BETTER then any retail package I have
ever tried on WIN boxes..very high quality. If this is still in its infancy
stage and there are more things to work on…I am dying to see the next
step this is going to take! Keep up the good work guys!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
