<pre wrap="">I decided to consolidate my system from FE/MBE & SBE to a single
FE/MBE by moving a PVR150 from the SBE to join the HVR1300 (DVB-T) in
the MBE. Unfortunately I've now lost sound on both cards tho the
picture is OK in recordings and LiveTV. As the HVR1300 is not so
common in Mythtv circles I've not been able to find any tips so far.
Sound worked fine when the cards weren't together. I've not tried
music or video but assume that sound still works for those - I'll
check tonight.

This points to an audio playback issue, rather than a problem with the
capture card movement (in DVB the audio is embedded in the signal, on
the PVR-150 it's embedded in the MPEG-2 stream leaving the card).
You *really* need to see whether your system audio works outside of
MythTV, and if successful, proceed to testing in mythfrontend
(recordings/mythmusic/mythvideo).
Check your mixer settings on the machine, check your ALSA devices in
mythfrontend etc, check calbing etc. You might also want to check for
an IRQ conflict involving the sound card. It wouldn't be the first
time that something may have become unplugged /unseated during a card
redeployment.

Thanks Nick, that gave me some pointers.<br>
<br>
In case it helps others<br>
<br>
first I found that I couldn't get sound from anything, except the sound
detection utility.<br>
<br>
I noticed some pulseaudio error messages (connection refused) which I
thought I'd got rid of a few weeks ago. This tip

helped me disable it.<br>
<br>
I then got sound with the Kaffeine player but still not from
Mythfrontend. After googling with some of the error messages I tried
changing the audio output from ALSA:default to /dev/dsp and it started
working!!<br>
<br>
Although my problem is solved (for now?), I'd still like to know the
reason for the failure after adding the PVR150. Also I left the mixer
setting to ALSA:default - should I change that?<br>
