[mythtv-users] PPV script, etc.

[Scott Rowe]

Paul, in _both_ the last two M10k boxes I've built, there were two missing
jumpers. The front case connector is mutually exclusive with the back plane
jacks. In my case (pun intended) the front audio connector wasn't connected,
but the jumpers that select front audio have been removed (as though the
front audio connector were in use.) If the line level is low, and the
speaker out isn't producing sound at all, check the jumper block between the
CDIN connector and the back plane audio jacks. If there aren't two jumpers
there, you've got the same issue I had (twice!).

P.S. Check the mobo manual for what the jumpers need to be set to if your
jumpers are missing.
