Hello,<br>My myth box has been running happily for 70+ days, but now after rebooting there is no sound. I don't think it's a myth-specific problem but since my hardware is similar to other myth users I hope someone here can help me - other routes have failed. <br>
<br>I have onboard Via sound using Alsa's snd_via82xx driver. I also have a PC-HDTV 5500 and a WinTV PVR 250 installed. <br><br>There are two weird things I noticed after the reboot (besides the eerie quiet):<br><br>
1) there no /dev/dsp device anymore. I think myth was using /dev/dsp for sound; the myth setting is now defaulted to "adsp" but I have no idea what that is.<br><br>2) under xmms, sound *does* work if I select, under the ALSA output, "hw 1,0" but there is no sound in any other program. Alsamixer shows the Via sound controller as device 1, and all channels are unmuted / top volume.<br>
<br>I am aware that people on this mailing list have solved issues with PCI cards being recognized in a different order at boot time, but I how do I tell if this is actually the problem? I don't want to be messing around with settings in "blind" fashion and break something else. <br>
<br>Also, if I determine that it's an issue with the card order, how would I know which card "should" be detected first? And why aren't any /dev/dsp devices being created at all?<br><br>Any help with the ANY of the above would be much appreciated! If it matters, I have Ubuntu Gutsy 64.<br>
thanks,<br>Mary<br><br><br>
