[mythtv-users] Sound Issues

[Derek Christensen]

Hi Micheal,

Is your SBLive card an OEM version?  (And did you have it with your old 
setup?)  I ask because I had similar problems and after 
cross-referencing the model # on the card with a matrix on the Creative 
site I found the my SBLive card in my Dell was a piece of junk OEM 
version and that ALSA doesn't have drivers for.  I've heard that certain 
Dell and Gateway computers (and maybe others) have this type of card.  I 
  finally just removed ALSA and move back to OSS.

Just a thought.
