How do I set the sound device correctly? I am using ALSA on a KDE<br>desktop (Kubuntu Dapper).<br><br>I know Myth will require a special setting itself later, but what is<br>needed for just using "cat /dev/video0 >
file.mpg". It needs to work<br>from the command line first before I add the Myth settings.<br><br>The card is a PVR-150. I can also watch live TV using "mplayer<br>/dev/video0", but without sound. I have a picture, but no sound. The
<br>sound system does work otherwise though.</blockquote><div><br>If you're not getting sound, you may have a misconfigured audio input in ivtv, or you don't have the audio hooked up to the card, or the sound is muted in ivtv. Check "ivtvctl -Q" and "ivtvctl -Y" to see how you're currently set up.
