If it's a tru 60-cycle-hum, it could be caused be a ground loop. Try a google search with these terms: ground loop computer soundcard The first hit I saw had pretty good information. -- Mark Matula Mikey, you will be missed: http://eblo.ratula.net/mikey.html ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I've noticed that with a microphone enabled I get a nasty hum... Turn that channel off, and bam... It's a-ok. Not sure if your setup has one, but just in case, I thought I'd throw this out there. -Tu __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

My Myth box is louder than all of my other components. When I flip my crappy Technics receiver to from my DVD player to my Myth box, I get what I have always called a 60Hz hum and have to turn the receiver volume way down. So, thinking to set the volume levels to the same as my DVD and VCR, I went to KMix and turned down the volume. It did lower the audio volume, but did not effect the "placement" of the 60Hz hum. So now even though the DVD/VCR/Myth Volume levels are comparable, the hum kicks in at about half the standard volume when I am on the Myth box. I had the same problem, and it appeared to be a grounding issue somewhere. Once I plugged a cable into the output of my cable box, the hum went away (at least I think that was what did it). I only found it by fluke... ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I have decided mine was from the on board sound having a lot of electrical noise from the other stuff in the box. Mine even gets worse when the panel goes shows on screen, so it may even be coming from my video card or the AGP traces?? I'm anxious to hear the answers you get.

[mythtv-users] Sound Levels from my Myth box
This is a "trivial, yet annoying" audio issue that I am experiencing. My Myth box is louder than all of my other components. When I flip my crappy Technics receiver to from my DVD player to my Myth box, I get what I have always called a 60Hz hum and have to turn the receiver volume way down. So, thinking to set the volume levels to the same as my DVD and VCR, I went to KMix and turned down the volume. It did lower the audio volume, but did not effect the "placement" of the 60Hz hum. So now even though the DVD/VCR/Myth Volume levels are comparable, the hum kicks in at about half the standard volume when I am on the Myth box. The sound is coming out of the 3.5mm onboard sound socket on my ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. Yeah, I know its a waste, but I can't upgrade my ancient crappy Technics receiver until September. In the interim, are there any sound settings I might try? thanks jw___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
