[mythtv-users] RE: Still have problems with sound.

[Doug Miller]

ok, I'm also having problems with sound only coming out of left 
speaker.  I played a wav file just to make sure my soundcard didn't 
flake out, but it played from both speakers just fine.  I am using 
gentoo and running blackbox, have an ATI tv wonder ve, sb live value.  i 
don't know if it's the wonder or not, and tonight I will test to see if 
the wonder is actually outputting stereo to the sound card.  Is there 
anything else I should look for?  Could there be an issue with my bttv 
driver?  I believe I have the correct card/tuner selected (card=64 
tuner=2), and the picture is fine.  The sound coming from the left 
speaker sounds... well, its hard to describe, but it sounds tinny.  btw, 
I've had this setup working great a few weeks ago until my hard drive 
decided to die on me.  Everything worked  before the crash (running the 
current cvs of the time it died).  I used the gentoo portage to install 
everything this time if that helps, and I am running the current cvs 
from yesterday, early evening (EST).
