[mythtv-users] What would cause choppy audio recording?

[Brian McEntire]

I'm recording OTA HDTV with a PC HD-3000 card.

The video quality looks perfect, rarely pixelates, but the audio is very 
bad: it sounds choppy, echos frequently, and has a pulsing quality to it.

I'm recording on a P3 1.6 with 768 MB RAM. From what I understand, recording 
OTA HDTV doesn't take a lot of resources because the card is just capturing 
the (already encoded) MPEG2 stream from within the ATSC broadcast.

I think the problem does lay in the capture side though because even if I 
transcode a captured show to xvid using nuvexport, the audio still sounds 
the same on playback and I think those transcoded formats wouldn't tax the 
CPU enough to cause audio problems.

Any ideas?
