There are 2 different cases to look at, when using sound with the TV-Out.
1st: The sound not relatet to Live-TV/Recordings. This sound comes through your soundcard, as it also would do if you have a normal Monitor connected to your VGA-card. The image is coming through the TV-Out of the PVR350. 2nd: The sound relatet to LiveTV/watching recordings. This the same as the dd-command you mentioned before. In this case all playback is done by the PVR350. Video & sound are coming out of the TV-Out of your PVR. What i did to have both "types" of sound at once was: Hook the audio of your PVR-350 into the line-in of your soundcard. If you now watch tv with the PVR-output-option (Mythfrontend - Configuration - TV - Playback - 5th Screen there. Enable the option "Use PVR350-Mpeg-Decoding" and set correct parameters) the TV (and recordings) are played smooth as with the dd-command, totally using the mpeg-capabilities of your PVR350. The sound is injected into your soundcard and immediately played back by it. You just have to ensure you did not mute the line-in of your soundcard and set correct volume-levels for it. If you play sound generated by xmms/watching DivX or something else this sound is played by your soundcard directly. In case of DivX (non-mpeg-video in general) the image is decoded not by the PVR but by your CPU and played back throug the ivtvdev-Driver created by John. hth, Jan ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
