[mythtv-users] SN41G2 - notsogood for Myth

[Emlyn.Bolton at nokia.com]

I've got one of these and have had no issues with it at all.  Gentoo running the 0.13 release on the latest BIOS and ALSA for sound. Now the iVTV drivers are getting stable, there are no probs with my system.
 
For the line-in, there are some configuration parameters with ALSA which lets you set the sense of the sockets for either speaker out or line in.
 
The latest BIOS is recommended, I was having some problems with the original BIOS.
 
Cheers,
E

I had some initial problems installing myth on my sn41g2 using Jarod's guide, mostly due to using an M179, but now it is working perfectly.  The only unresolved issue I have is a very strange delayed audio corruption when I'm using zsnes (alsa w/ intel8x0 drivers, if I use nvaudio with OSS it takes a lot longer, but still eventually screws up).  Basically the sound effects gradually get delayed, and then the music completely gets screwed at a certain point.
 
I never have had any issues with the nforce2 drivers; although lately I have had to set IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH when recompiling the 4363 or 4496 graphics drivers (I don't have to do this with the 53xx whatever the number is drivers, it's strange).
 
None of my issues have occurred directly as a result of choosing the sn41g2, as far as I can tell.  Sounds like you're just having one issue with the sound card inputs, although that does seem to be a major issue ;-)

I got the Shuttle SN41G2 planning on using it with myth but it's been giving me a lot of problems, so beware! First, for some reason I couldn't get the nvidia nForce ethernet drivers to recompile after switching to an AT kernel following Jarod's guide (kept getting unresolved errors). Somehow though, it started working with the new kernel one day - I'm still not sure what I did. I'm not complaining :)
 
But the bigger problem is that the line-in on the Shuttle does not work - it's supposed to be a dual connector that can do either line-in or rear speakers-out, but it's not (this is an issue for all SN41G2's). My leadtek tv2000xp deluxe doesn't do btaudio, nor does it have an internal connector so I'm going to have to try to hack together a 3.5mm line from outside the case from the leadtek to a mpc cd-in line to inside on the motherboard. I'm not sure if that'll work, we'll see...
 
So the SN41G2 looks good for myth at first (it is a great-looking case), but there are other issues with it... then again, this may be a reason I *have to* get a PVR-250. :)
