[mythtv-users] Still no sound with LiveTv or Recording

[Aaron Aguilar]

Make sure you know which device your sound card is being labeled as. 
To test this just locate a   .au file that is already on your machine.
 Then do a  $cat filename.au > /dev/dsp

If that doesn't work try it again with /dev/dsp1 or /dev/audio, etc. 
Then of course you have to change your settings in mythfrontend to the
corresponding audio device.

Good luck,
Aaron
