Are you choosing the device using the selector? If not, you may not <br>
have exactly what's required to get full capabilities. Try selecting a <br>
definitely-wrong device, then go through all the settings pages and back <br>
to the settings menu. Then go back through, and it should show the <br>
wrong device you just selected. Select the right device, and see what <br>
happens.<br>
<br>
In general, the selector will show the value that's saved as well as <br>
what mythfrontend finds through probing. If what you had saved was <br>
wrong (close, but not quite right), it will seem like a valid option. <br>
If you select something completely different, then go through all the <br>
settings pages, it will save your currently selected device to the one <br>
you just selected (which is one mythfrontend found through probing), <br>
thus ensuring that the only ones in the list are ones that it found <br>
through probing (and, therefore, ones that are properly and fully <br>
specified). So when you go back through and select the right one, it's <br>
the one you want, specified the way MythTV wants.<br>

So I selected ALSA:Default, which is wrong as it will not play anything. I changed some other settings related to audio like upconvert and then saved and exited the whole program. Then I repeated this but this time I selected ALSA:hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 which is correct. At the bottom of the screen it shows that this device is connected to a DenonHD receiver.
