[mythtv-users] Newbie question/help

[IvanK.]

I had the same problem last night, but I saw the picture.  I checked the patch 
cable from WinTV to the soundcard lin-in, checked the mixer settings, etc, 
checked /dev/dsp usage and permissions, but saw no problem.  I can use 
mythmusic to play back music, so I know sound is working.

Funny thing is the same setup worked only two days ago -- it just stopped 
working last night.  I'm using CVS from Tuesday around 9pm ET.

In all fairness I have to admit that things probably broke when I tried to use 
btaudio and a second TV card.  In setup I added the /dev/video* devices, etc.  
But I gave up on the multiple tuner setup for now because there was some 
hardware conflict.  So ever afterwards I haven't been able to hear audio from 
mythtv only.  Mythvideo and mythmusic work.

I'm puzzled.  I suppose I'll remove mythtv, update from cvs and build again.  
Let's see if this helps.
