[mythtv-users] Sound problems, suggestions please.

[Kevin N. Carpenter]

Dummy style is just fine, although I've been a gentoo user for awhile now. 

alsa is red, it appears compiled in.  All the other packages are 
installed as well.  Mythsetup only allows me to select /dev/dsp or 
/dev/sound/dsp though. 

I'm trying to get sound while watching livetv via my pcHDTV card. 

Thanks,

Kevin C.
