Friend of mine build a mythbuntu system - got everything working in this "lab" - using a 23in LCD with external speakers (connected to the computer sound card). All well and good...disconnects the computer - takes and hooks it to a HDTV - essentially the same way HDMI to DVI for video and analog out of the sound card to the audio L/R of the TV - and all he gets is what to my ears sounds like digital poping noise. I sold him this TV and on my myth box - using the same type of connections - it worked fine. From what I read DVI interface does not carry sound so I would not think there is a setup issue on the computer causing the noise. From what he tells me the video plays fine from myth - but only the poping sounds are heard.Possible bad cable I suppose. Anyone have any insights on this? I hope to swing by and look at it tomorrow.....<br>
