[mythtv-users] PVR-250: no sound during live tv or playing recordings. Sound in recorded stream

[Joe Votour]

On my setup at home, with two PVR-250's, I set the
sound on each of them to "None" (this works with 0.15,
I believe it worked with 0.14 as well).  There is no
need for a sound card, since the sound is in the
MPEG-2 stream.

Something else to check would be the volume level that
MythTV is recording from.  I don't remember exactly
where it is in the menus, but I believe it's in the
recording profiles, there should be a volume level for
the PVR-250, which is independant of the sound card
settings.  I believe that by default is is set to 90%.

Also check the MythTV mixer levels.  If you use the
internal volume controls, then you can control both
the PCM, and the volume.  I have it setup so that the
volume is set to something pretty high, and then
Volume Up/Down buttons control the PCM, which raises
or lowers the volume during playback.  (Well,
something like that, that's the general idea).  Make
sure that MythTV isn't setting the volume of the sound
card too low.
