[mythtv-users] Audio Repeat Problem

[Daniel Whelan]

I have a MythTV setup involving 2 tuners in a backend and a single 
frontend at the moment. The setup seems to be working well, with the 
exception of some crashes (which I won't address now since I haven't 
researched them enough yet) and an odd audio problem. Both in live-tv 
and recorded shows, while watching I'll get audio dropouts where a short 
segment of audio is repeated twice. The timing isn't altered in any way 
(that is to say, the second repeat is where there should be other audio, 
and I end up not hearing all of the audio). So, the net effect is that I 
hear the same phrase twice, and miss a couple words. This is happening 
frequently enough to be annoying (every minute or two, it seems). Any 
ideas what might be going on, and where I should look for the problem?

Hardware specifics:

Backend:
Dual Athlon 2GHz, 1GB memory
Hauppauge WinTV-dbx (2 cards)

Frontend:
Athlon 2500+, 512MB memory
Gainward Geforce4 Ti 4600 w/ TV-out
