Hi again,
Wanted to post more information on the problem that I am having with my sound.
I appologize for the repeat post, but I don't know how to reply to my previous
one. I get the message listed in the Subject when I try to "Watch Live TV".
I'm pretty sure that my problem is mostly one of setup. I don't know what to
setup in Mythbackend through Mythsetup for my sound device. Is this supposed
to be a path to something like /dev/snd/??? or what? Are there any detailed
instructions on the various setup pages. I see configuration settings both
when I do a mythtvsetup and in the frontend in
Main/Utilities-Setup/Setup/General page. What goes where? I'm using FC3 which
I believe has ALSA drivers by default. I just figured out tonight how to
actually get sound out of my sound card, so that was a step forward. Listed
below are hopefully all of the appropriate log files.
Some console log messages -
