[mythtv-users] I've lost audio in Video and DVD modes

[Mike Jasper]

I have a standalone mythtv box running FC1, 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl ATrpms 
kernel, with an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card (audio via ALSA). 
Everything was working beautifully until recently - now I'm not getting 
audio when trying to play videos or DVDs.  However, audio is fine on 
live and recorded TV, and when playing music via myth or xmms.  I also 
tried playing some of my .mpg videos outside of mythtv, in both mplayer 
and xine.  No audio.  I've re-run alsaconf to no avail, and played with 
every setting in alsamixer and envy24control.  And as of tonight, 
mplayer crashes when I try to play a video via mythtv.

Below is output from mplayer after starting mythfrontend from the 
console, and trying to play a video.

Any help is appreciated - thanks.

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: ao2_init
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
   Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
   disassembly. Details in 
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
   It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
   gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
   DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We 
can't and
   won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible
bug.
