hello, I wrote earlier about this problem, thought I fixed it by changing to onboard sound, but I was wrong (onboard sound has constant popping so I really need the PCI to work)
Nutshell: * LiveTV has no sound. * If I unmute "mic" while playing live TV, I can hear the audio a few seconds ahead of the video, so I know the sound is getting to the card. It's just not encoding it. * If I play back an old recording, I can hear sound. So I know (?) it's not a playback problem. running "mythbackend -v audio, recording" gives: 2006-01-29 18:33:56.018 mythbackend version: 0.18.1.20050510-1 www.mythtv.org 2006-01-29 18:33:56.019 Enabled verbose msgs : important general record audio 2006-01-29 18:33:58.017 Reschedule requested for id -1. 2006-01-29 18:33:58.339 Scheduled 4 items in 0.3 = 0.31 match + 0.01 place 2006-01-29 18:33:58.348 Seem to be woken up by USER 2006-01-29 18:34:06.024 New DB connection, total: 4 2006-01-29 18:34:08.302 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-29 18:34:08.302 adding: ubuntu as a client (events: 0) 2006-01-29 18:34:08.308 Getting next free recorder after : -1 2006-01-29 18:34:08.309 Card 1 is local. 2006-01-29 18:34:08.314 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-29 18:34:08.315 adding: ubuntu as a client (events: 1) 2006-01-29 18:34:08.324 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-29 18:34:08.324 adding: ubuntu as a client (events: 0) 2006-01-29 18:34:08.335 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-29 18:34:08.335 adding: ubuntu as a client (events: 0) 2006-01-29 18:34:08.340 adding: ubuntu as a remote ringbuffer 2006-01-29 18:34:08.347 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2006-01-29 18:34:08.355 Using profile 'Live TV' to record strange error flushing buffer ... 2006-01-29 18:34:16.781 Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None running mythfrontend -v record,audio gives: 2006-01-29 18:34:08.292 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2006-01-29 18:34:08.298 Using protocol version 15 2006-01-29 18:34:08.319 Using protocol version 15 2006-01-29 18:34:08.480 Disable DPMS 2006-01-29 18:34:08.745 Opening audio device '/dev/dsp'. 2006-01-29 18:34:08.745 Opening OSS audio device '/dev/dsp'. 2006-01-29 18:34:08.755 Using XV port 146 X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8 Major opcode: 142 Minor opcode: 14 Resource id: 0x1ca 2006-01-29 18:34:08.760 Couldn't get the color key color, and we need it.

[Video works just fine]. Is it a problem that the backend opens both a OSS and Alsa device? Is there a manual record command I can try to check for other errors?
