[mythtv-users] Ghosted Audio

[David Aquilina]

Greetings all,

I'm fairly new to MythTV and am experiencing an occasional problem
with ghosting audio. When viewing some previously recorded shows, if
something else is being recorded at the same time I'll hear the audio
from the new recording in addition to the previously recorded show's
audio. Worst yet, it's not a simple pass-through - it appears to
actually be incorporated in the recording and replays exactly the same
each time the recording is played.

Has anyone encountered this before?

Unfortunately, it's not consistent at all. It's most commonly
encountered while watching a recording while something else is being
recorded at the same time, however it doesn't always happen under
those circumstances. It seems to always occur when I attempt to watch
something as it's being recorded.

No settings have been changed between shows with correct audio and
shows with ghosted audio being recorded. For that matter, the system
has not even been rebooted between those shows nor any of the myth
components restarted.

I am using:

- MythTV .18 as pulled from
http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-18-fixes/mythtv on
November 22nd
- Fedora Core 4 (kernel 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4) (x86, NOT x86_64)
- A WinTV bttv capture card
- A Yamaha YMF724 sound card. It both records from the bttv card and
outputs to the speakers.
- The system is a 1.6Ghz Sempron64 with 512M memory, nForce3-based
motherboard, and an 80G ATA hard drive.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If more information is
needed, please let me know and I'd be happy to provide any other
details I might have missed.

Thanks in advance,
David
