Re: [mythtv-users] What's the minimum that I can do... Update!
I got sound working, and I'm proud to say that I achieved WAF of 1 (It's not 10, but I've been at 0 since I bought this machine 8/12/2005) by recording the bachelor tonight. She was pleased to be able to catch the final 5 minutes that she missed when watching it live. Now all I have to do is get the scond tuner on the PVR-500 to work and I'll be ready to start trying to get a remote to work. Here's a log if you want to check it out. http://bronosky.com/pub/sess.txt Michael T. Dean wrote: >On 01/23/2006 04:57 PM, William Lewis wrote: > > >>I think mplayer is probably the most flexible...

I think mplayer is probably the most flexible... 'mplayer -ao alsa filename' should do it, I think... If you want to get creative with it, feel free to screw around with the -ao option, using -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 for example. Run 'mplayer -ao help' for more information about this option.

Re: [mythtv-users] What's the minimum that I can do...
Yes, that is the control group idea I am shooting for. What Linux program do you suggest that I use to play audio files from the command line? Preferably something that comes with KnoppMyth.

So, if I record a few minutes of a show, how do I get it so I can view it in WMP or QuickTime on a Machine that I know has working audio? If there is not a FOOL PROOF (searching for a control group, not new points of failure) way, then I would like to post it to my pub folder and have someone DL and test it for me. Please advise. My suggestion would be to take a known working file (ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/SillySounds/english.au for example), and get that to play. If you can hook something up with an 1/8th inch to RCA cable or plug directly in to PC speakers, that would be a good first step. Once you get that working, then you can move on to more advanced stuff (.asoundrc configuration, AC3 passthrough, whatever...) But first things first. Is it a system-wide issue or a MythTV issue? I would say that's the first step.
