[mythtv-users] PVR-350 Audio Question - Sound with playback but not with Live

[Linux TV]

I fixed my problem, it was an ivtv driver setting.  Setting simpler=1 
and simple=0 in the msp3400 options of modprobe.conf fixed it.  It now 
seems to be running pretty good.  I had simple=1 and simpler was not set.
