Dear mythtv-users ...<br>
<br>
I recently upgraded my living room to modern(?) standards in terms of<br>
TV-sets ;-)<br>
<br>
Threw out the old tube and bought a Sony Bravia KDL42W655. Not the best,<br>
not the last, but quite an improvement.<br>
<br>
While I could watch mythtv-stuff via DLNA (works, but is a bit<br>
uncomfortable, no nice GUI, not so nice navigation ...) I would also<br>
like to use my old mythbuntu-frontend.<br>
<br>
This box only has an old graphics card with S-VHS, composite and DVI ...<br>
so I bought an adapter cable: DVI->HDMI ... this gives me video output<br>
on the TV, nice :-)<br>
<br>
But I don't get audio so far.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to output the audio via ALSA and the soundcard while<br>
delivering the audio via plain old cable (those red/white cinch ...)?<br>
<br>
A friend of mine told me that there is no audio on DVI, right?<br>
<br>
-<br>
<br>
Additionally I think that the TV set doesn't yet "combine" the pic from<br>
HDMI and the audio via the other cable.<br>
<br>
Maybe some Bravia user here knows how to deal with that?<br>
<br>
I fiddle through the options already but so far without success ...<br>
<br>
Thanks for any pointers, I continue my search inbetween :-)<br>
<br>
Stefan<br>
