[mythtv-users] MythTV muting volume, but TVTime fixes it.

[kanetse at gmail.com]

I have a Celeron D 2.93 master backend with a ATI TV Wonder PCI (attached to
the onboard motherboard soundcard) and Hauppauge WinTV GO-Plus (attached to
a SoundBlaster Live Value). Both are bt8x8 cards. I was previously running
Fedora Core 3 and MythTV 0.18.1 without any audio problems, but I needed to
reinstall the OS so I upgraded to Fedora Core 4.

I have no volume when I watch LiveTV or recordings from the ATI card. The
WinTV card works fine. I have a patch cable from the ATI's line-out to the
soundcard's line-in and headphones attached to the speaker-out of the
soundcard. I hear nothing.

The strange thing is that if I run TVTime, audio works fine. Then, if I
shut-down TVTime and immediately go into MythTV LiveTV (on a remote
frontend), I can hear the channel and switch channels no problem. But
inevitably, after exiting to the menu and going back into LiveTV, the volume
mysteriously gets muted. At that point, I plug my headphones directly into
the ATI's line-out and also now hear nothing. Start up TVTime again, and I
can hear audio.

The whole time, anything recorded/Live TV from the WinTV works fine with
audio, so I know I don't have a problem on the frontend side of things.

Is possible that something to do with the msp3400 driver in FC4 is screwing
things up?

Thanks!
