[mythtv-users] Cannot get sound or change channels

[Alan Secker]

I've managed to get MythTV to start up OK and get a picture.
What I cannot do is to:

1) Get any sound; nor
2) Change channels

The sound system basically works because  when KDE comes up I get the 
start up sounds. However later on I usually get a KDE error dialog 
saying it cannot connect to the sound device which is a separate problem.

I had set-up showing connections to /dev/dsp but noting the options, I 
wondered how I might go about defining which to select on a more 
scientific basic than hit and miss.

Video comes up on the predefined start channel but will not change. 
Pressing the up or down arrow keys brings up different station logos and 
descriptors but the picture remains the same.


My hardware is an AMD64 3700 running 32 bit Mandriva 2006 with a 
2.6.12-12.mm.1mdk kernel
I am using ivtv-0.2.0 (because it installs without errors unlike later 
versions) and MythTV-0.19.

modprobe-preload contains this:

# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.
# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY
# for old kernel use /etc/modules

ivtv
amd64-agp

modprobe.conf contains this:

alias eth0 forcedeth
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_nv; /bin/true
remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe 
--first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install 
snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; 
/bin/true
options ivtv cardtype=2 ivtv_std=2
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 iv

Can anyone offer advice concering either of these two problems?
