The truth is graphics drivers aren't there yet, for any card, for the
kind of tasks we might want to do with mythtv, when it comes to HD.

I couldn't disagree with you more. I paid $60 for an nVidia 6200TC, and it
works like a dream. I connected DVI - HDMI, and I can do things better
My myth box is giving no sound. My first step in debugging is to see if
sound is being recorded. 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?

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.
Do you have volume control via myth with this method?
I can get all my audio output through the spdif connector, but can
not find anyway of controlling the volume via myth (this would be my
preferred option as I like the on screen volume display).

Everything is running into my AV Receiver, that's where my volume is

was a post to the list a while back on how to send everything out over
the spdif, and have your receiver decide if it's AC3 or PCM, the key
was in the .asoundrc.
I downloaded this morning 0.18.2 STABLE relese from cvs.mythtv.org but not
the trunk version. Is the scanning facility not good on this version?
Thanks Will!
I have no idea, unfortunately. I do know that I have very few problems with
the subversion build, fewer than I had with the stable
For anyone following the thread, once Use video as timebase was disabled,
everything worked perfectly. The trick was to have everything with AC3
passed through by Myth and to have everything else sampled to 48000 Hz for
output via PCM. ALSA made this second part possible. Thanks for
Yeah. Shouldn't video as timebase be disabled if AC-3 Passthrough
is enabled and there's an AC-3 stream? (Kind of like AC-3 is disabled
when the user initiates timestretch--at least until Mark finishes his
AC-3 re-encode work.)
