Yeah Ive done this. My audio device is ALSA: IEC958, and my iec958 mode is PCM. Works fine if I enable the AC3 Pass Thru TV Setting, only messed up thing is no mixer (use receivers volume controls). For this I use my standard onboard audio chipset Via 8237. I do this with two HD3000s, 1 on QAM 1 on ATSC OTA.

Its channel_subchannel if you are viewing OTA stuff. Instead of watching liveTV, try recording an OTA HD channel from the program.

Its possible that your somehow attached/tuned to the wrong audio stream. You have both a audio and a video pid that you need to connect to. You can see those streams when you use dvbtraffic from dvb-apps after you've just tuned to the channel frequency. I had to go out and manually put them together on a frequency where I recieved 3 channels here in phx. When you look at that channels.conf you should see the 2 numbers at the end. Thats the decimal value of video:audio. So if you convert those to hex you should see what stream it is connected to.from dvbtraffic. You should sort of know which ones are the video and which ones are the audio by the bandwidth. Usually you'll have something with a lot of bandwidth and thats the video, and after that you have soemthing with less bandwidth and thats audio. But that isn't always the case. I had to manually pull them apart until I matched it up in mythtv. But you shouldn't have to do any of this with OTA.. Normally it just scans them and gets it right I think. But I get crappy signal to our towers out here so I hanv't really had the chance to do it the 'easy way'. On your tv playback option... Turn on extra audio buffering on the first screen. I think that might get rid of your crackling. -Mike ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

All,I'm hoping someone has some ideas on what to look at. I recently updated my Sempron 3000+ box for HD, but so far it's not been going too well :) It was an FC3 box but I updated it over the past few days to FC4 thinking this would be the best time to do it. I've got X running at 1080i but now I'm struggling to get the HD-3000 to work on ATSC. A quick list of what I have set up so far:- Running latest stable IVTV 4 on 2.6.14-1.1653 with Myth .18.1- The box has a PVR-250 and a PVR-500 already - Installed the firmware for the HD-3000 DVB- I'm using kernel tveeprom instead of the IVTV one per messages I've seen- I have done mythtvsetup and successfully scanned channels and mapped them to my Zap2It config - Using a tool on the pcHDTV site, I can scan and detect channels over ATSC with the card. At least I know it's *working*.At this point I can't cat anything on /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 - nothing shows up. I've removed all cards in Myth and am just trying this one but I get a black screen and then it comes back shortly thereafter to the main menu. At this point I'm just not sure what to do... for some reason with these changes I can also not get my second PVR-500 tuner to work, but I'm less worried about that right now.
