</div></div>I've been having the same issue on *one* of my frontends running<br>
Mythbuntu 8.10 (the other works fine). I did the whole delete<br>
asound.conf thing and all and still the only audio that will play is<br>
AC3/DTS/MPEG2, mp3, aac, etc. won't play. This is running Mythbuntu's<br>
version of the 0.21-fixes compiles.<br>
<br>
I've tried lots of things to fix it to no avail. I remember it working<br>
initially, and it works on my other PC, so I'm hoping a re-install<br>
from "scratch" on the machine will fix it. But I really wish I could<br>
figure out why it's doing it and just fix that.<br>

He put in a soundblaster card he had hanging around and it worked.</div><div><br></div><div>I am running mythbuntu 8.10 on a P4P800E Deluxe and it works fine.

<div><br></div><div>I have a combined FE\BE and two FE only machines. What I have done on all of them is take the mythbuntu instructions and printed them out and followed it page by page carefully during the install. If I screw up and hit something wrong, I start over. If it doesn't work, I start over. I would estimate that it takes 3 installs per machine to get it to work. </div>
