My friend...you are a god. Editing that asound.conf file fixed it
perfect.
Thank you so much!
Now...for a little change in topic...does anyone know why I have some
white flickering on the top of the screen when viewing 4:3 content?
This used to happen on my old tuner too...any ideas? It's not that
big of deal...because I can just zoom the input, but it would be nice
to fix. I tried using overscan in Mythtv settings...but when I use it
it makes the video shake.
Any help you may be able to provide would be
great...otherwise...thanks for the tips!
