</div>I'd think you would want to test with as close to the operating parameters as<br>
you can. Running as root is probably not the best way to test.<br>

</div>Is this only when you change channels with the blaster? What happens if you<br>
use the receiver's remote?<br>
<br>
I'd check if you are losing audio from the receiver, or just with Myth.<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't think it's the remote. If I set the remote down and use the up and down arrows the channels change but I usually loose audio after the change.<br>

What are you capturing to Myth with? There was always that "tinny audio"<br>
problem when using a PVR that happened sometimes, not sure if that has been<br>
fixed or not.<br>
<br>
You're saying you *always* lose audio, and only sometimes get it back?<br></blockquote><div><br>Right, always loose, but once out of 15 it did come back. Changed channel again and lost it for another few channel changes and couldn't get it back.<br>

What's your audio setup? </blockquote><div><br>Onboard motherboard AC'97. Going through the instructions at <a href="http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-intel8x0">http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-intel8x0</a> right now. Maybe it's an audio driver issue? I'll let you know if it fixes after I build it. I don't see the line :<br>

something and muting it?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>I don't think so. I can change volume and mute works just fine from my Hauppauge receiver. No line of sight to DirecTv, STB. Plus changing channels from keyboard produces same result.<br>
