&gt;                  no sound with<br>
&gt;                 &gt;&gt; or without the patch cord. Initially doing the<br>
&gt;                 sound test in HDMI was<br>
&gt;                 &gt;&gt; successful, I heard &quot;front right&quot; and &quot;front left&quot;.<br>
&gt;                 Playing a recording is<br>
&gt;                 &gt;&gt; however mute. Now when I go back into sound<br>
&gt;                 settings, none of the options<br>
&gt;                 &gt;&gt; give an audible test, but with the digital option I<br>
&gt;                 can see the speakers<br>
&gt;                 &gt;&gt; turn blue when I test either one, but no sound.<br>
&gt;                 What can I do now to recover<br>
&gt;                 &gt;&gt; sound?<br>

&gt; I&#39;m guessing that it has to be a setting in mythtv somewhere because I<br>
&gt; get sound through the TV from other sites and from VLC media player.<br>

&gt; is card=generic device=3, but I need help from here. Suggestions<br>
&gt; greatly apreciated.<br>

</div>Mostly irrelevant what the desktop/GUI system wide settings are.<br>

Use the Myth FE setup/audio settings screen:<br>
- rescan<br>
- pick a logical candidate<br>
- tick sensible digital capabilities<br>
- test<br>

Too late now but the open source driver could have been okay with older<br>
