font-family:Arial'>I am new to the list… Hoping to find the solution to
my problem here. I just installed MythTV on a Mandrake 10.2 Limited
Edition install. I am running 1GB of RAM, a Pentium 4 2.0Ghz CPU and a
Avermedia TV Tuner card (bt878) with a external loop cable into my Sound
Blaster Live 5.1 Value card. Configuration is using SAMBA to send the
storage files to my file server. Buffering is stored on the local drive
on it’s own partition.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The problem I am having is with the audio. On the
initial install MythTV was working fine but I had a weird echo issue. The
audio was in sync but there was a faint echo a second or two behind it. While
watching TV, I rewound the feed and played back a few minuets and the echo was
still there, so the audio along with the echo seems to be captured in the buffer.
I started scouring the web and I found a post to another list that indicated
turning down the AC97 option solved this person’s problem. It got
rid of the echo but I ended up with out of sync audio. More into my investigation
I am finding out that in order to get any audio, the following “devices”
must be turned up: PCM, WAVE, AC97 Capture, and EMU10K1 PCM Send. If any
of these get turned down, I lose all audio. My line in is of course set
for CAPTUR and is muted.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I know that the SBLive card uses two chips (both AC97 and
EMU10K1) and I’m sure the issue is somehow related to this. I saw <a

which offers a possible solution but I was never able to find if this person
ever posted his asound.state file but I wasn’t able to find it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Dolby Digital receiver but right now I would be happy to just get audio working
