<pre wrap="">I'm using the mythtv packages ATrpms. I tried to change the audio device

compiled in!
I take it that the package from ATrpms DOES NOT have ALSA compiled in.
Is that the default? Is the only way for me to have ALSA support is to
build mythtv myself? Or is there another package that I can use instead?
(I looked on Axel's site and the specs, but couldn't find one.)
thanks for the help!

<pre wrap="">My HDTV system runs Axel's RPMs (well, sort of), and ALSA support is most
definitely compiled in, has been for several versions now. I'm using
ALSA:default (or is it ALSA:spdif?) for all sound output to my amp, including
raw ac3. Could be something specific to the x86_64 packages, I dunno...

ALSA is compiled in all mythtv builds at ATrpms. You can check with
ldd on the executable. But as Jarod wrote, perhaps there is some
x86_64 specific bug in mythtv? The specfile/sources to i386 and x86_64
packaging are the same.
Check with ldd, and whether you have remnants of custom builds under
/usr/local or so. Otherwise try rebuilding myth with alsa support and
see if your build exhibits the same error (no need to fine tune the
build, only check for alsa. If you hit a packging bug, it will be
fixed ASAP ;)</pre>

That was it! I had 3 libs being used from the /usr/local
(libmythavformat, libmythavcodec, libmyth) <br>
I just moved them, started again and checked and the mythfrontend used
the libs from /usr//lib64<br>
<br>
cool, thanks!<br>
<br>
I wonder if this might be the reason that modules (like mythnews and
mythweather) do not work?<br>
<br>
thanks again!<br>
