Hi; My problem is not yet with tvtime but my question trail starts there.
tvtime has been upgraded to use alsa for sound rather than OSS. To do that I need to re-set <option name="MixerDevice" value="default/Line"/> to something like mixer="DEVICE[:CH]" e.g hw:0/CD; where DEVICE = hw:0 and [:CH] = /CD. ls /dev/mixer no longer exists. Where does tvtime find DEVICE and where do I find DEVICE? How do I know it is the new name of the mixer? Which channel [:CH] do I use? Is it from the same list as tvtime.xml suggests for OSS or is it a different list? Given that I have an internal sound card on a PCIe bus how would I go about deducing which channels to try first? Now that I have the latest kernel and tvtime upgrade, these questions are so that I can overcome the confusion of many, many hours of experimentation and reading of outdated google comments. Hopefully, if I can solve tvtime or at least be looking at the correct configuration I can go on to solve problems with RhythmBox and others. A bit of a rant: The biggest problem that I have, and that others have mentioned they have, is the lack of trustworthy documentation -- something that starts with the real basics, on how alsa, pulseaudio, and the various guis work. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 22.3.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
