[mythtv-users] Audio not working... What should I check?

[Colin Mackay]

Pulseaudio is installed with most of the major Linux distros, if I am not
mistaken.  It allows thigns like plugging in USB headsets and having the
sound redirected.  I have pulse running on my two Myth frontends without
issue.

How is your Myth box connected to your TV for sound?  HDMI?
