I'm a total linux noobie. from what I've read, using a software mixer can result in audio delays and synchronization issues. I'm not sure if that is a problem in your case, but you might try running without it to see what happens. -- Paul B.

Yep! it looks like the Sound Blaster series does not include SPDIF (in particular optical) output without the purchase of an optional daughtercard? Another possibly recommended card with optical SPDIF output appears to be the Turtle Beach Riviera. Any commentary on that card? Any other well recommended cards with optical SPDIF output and good ALSA support? Thanks... -- Paul B.

I'm running Myth CVS and the latest Alsa and have 3 DNTV Live DVB-T cards [...] decent clue to the problem. During playback of recordings, a/v sync is fine, however with live tv, the sync is fine when I first go in, but as soon as I change channels, the audio lags behind the video usually by around 1/4 sec.. but sometimes as much as 2 seconds. Exiting livetv and entering it again will correct the problem. I'm also seeing lots of pre-buffering pauses etc in the logs, I've tried all sorts of settings in myth, all of which just made things worse. are you using the alsa software mixer? Since the mb only has 3 pci slots, I'm loath to go down the soundcard route (being able to watch tv while recording 2 programs or record 3 at once is a nice feature!). I'm going to have a separate front end, so slot availability is not going to be an issue for me. I'm currently considering a Turtle Beach Riviera which is supposed to have good ALSA support and has an optical SPDIF output. thanks for the input... -- Paul B.

[mythtv-users] Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe audio (Realtek chipset?) software mixing HDTV SPDIF
I'm considering an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard for an HD capable front end. After some research, I'm wondering whether I should get an ancillary PCI soundcard rather than trying to utilize the onboard sound (which appears to be based on a Realtek chipset). The onboard sound system includes both optical and coax SPDIF outputs (I have an Onkyo receiver the frontend will be connected to), however reports of correct functionality of this chipset under Linux/alsa vary. Also, the audio chipset does not support hardware mixing and would require use of the alsa software mixing interface. I read that utilizing software mixing might result in audio delays and lack of synchronization between audio/video? Does anyone have any experience with this motherboard or similar audio chip sets and their suitability for use in Mythtv front ends in particular HD based? It looks like in the past the Sound Blaster live/audigy was often recommended? Is that still a good choice for SPDIF output if the onboard sound will be insufficient? Thanks much... -- Paul B.
