I'm taking my first shot at mythtv and having one major issue. I'm
running a decent system (Athlon 64 3200 / 1 gig ram) with a Happauge
PVR 500. The sound is on the nforce board recognized by linux as the
intel 8x0. I've tried switching between ALSA and OSS with the exact
same results. Audio occurs about 2 seconds or more before the video
frame it should accompany (this occurs in live tv as well as recording
and replaying a show). This is classic of the not muting thing in
chapter 7 of the how to. Which I did read and follow, also I've
searched the list repeatedly. I have line in muted, and set to
capture. However, the PVR 500's don't require a patch cable for
the audio, so I don't see how it could be that.<br>

So I finally tracked it down, it was the Albatron FX5200 LP video card
that was at fault. I hooked up a monitor and a TV at the same time, and
booted the system and immediately jumped into the bios (before the
OS/drivers load). The video on the monitor was real time, but changes
didn't occur until nearly 3 seconds later on the television. Replacing
the card with another Albatron FX5200 LP had the same results.
Contacting Albatron was nearly impossible because the numbers on their
website have been disconnected. Switched to an MSI card and everything
seems to be working fine. But give me time I'm sure I'll find something
else to write about now that I can play with myth on a regular basis :)
Thanks to everyone who offered advice!!! :)<br>
