[mythtv-users] sound not encoding

[mstrimel@comcast.net]

hello,
I wrote earlier about this problem, thought I fixed it by changing to onboard sound, but I was wrong (onboard sound has constant popping so I really need the PCI to work)

Nutshell: 
* LiveTV has no sound.
* If I unmute "mic" while playing live TV, I can hear the audio a few seconds ahead of the video, so I know the sound is getting to the card.  It's just not encoding it.
* If I play back an old recording, I can hear sound.  So I know (?) it's not a playback problem.

running "mythbackend -v audio, recording" gives:

I've tried running the various messages thru google and the archives, but can't seem to find anything relevant.  [Video works just fine].  Is it a problem that the backend opens both a OSS and Alsa device?   Is there a manual record command I can try to check for other errors?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Mary
