Mary, maybe someone already mentioned this, or it might not be applicable. However, I also had a problem with no sound from tv, and noticed after a while that the sound channels where forced to zero. I then used this script in the beginning of my /usr/bin/freevo script;
-- aumix -m+70 xmodmap /root/.xmodmaprc xset s noblank -- The two last lines are only for loading my own keymappings in X and to turn off screensaver. The first line sets the microphone line-in to 70% since I have to get tv-out sound into the sound card. /PS -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Till: freevo mailing list post Skickat: 2004-04-30 00:00 Ämne: [Freevo-users] still no sound on recording, almost ready to throw in towel ... Hi again, sorry to be a bother, I'm feeling a bit stupid that I cant seem to get sound on my tv recording, after studying the wiki and trying to follow it very carefully: btaudio will just not work for me, the driver loads correctly but mencoder crashes when I try to use it. attempting the OSS / line in method, I plugged my patch cable in and tried: aumix -1 80 -1 R -i 1; mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:input=0:norm=NTSC:channel=5:width=320:height=240:adevice=/ dev/dsp:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:forcechan=1:buffersize=128 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128:cbr:mode=3 -ovc lavc --ffourcc divx -o /home/mary/movies/recorded/fox.avi tv:// on the above command mencoder will record a video, and report that a sound file has been created of X size, but the recording is silent!!!!! mplayer plays tv properly with audio thru the patch cable. the one wrinkle in my setup is that I am trying to use the PCI sound card rather than the onboard VIA controller ... but should that matter? xmms and mplayer use the PCI card just fine. maybe my "aumix" line needs a tweak to point it to the correct sound card some how? I'm just at a loss, I don't want to give up on freevo yet but can't get used to watching recorded shows without sound :( thanks in advance, Mary ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
