Thanks Helen,

Yes, I have had issues like that before with video, and thought maybe it 
was the same deal, so I reset everything, unplugged, replugged, etc.  No 
change.

Still thinking it's either a hardware failure OR a resources problem.  
The funny thing is, there are no error messages with the driver, and I 
can see the card with aplay -l but in MythTV FE setup, when I select the 
correct card and settings, it claims it's invalid.   If it was hardware, 
I would think that it would not see the card, or since it DOES see the 
card, just accept it, and then audio would just not come out.  But it 
sees the card, and then complains that it's not valid.   UGH.

Lee
