I had the same thing and found that my mixer settings were not setup
right.
Did you use alsamixer or kmix. Some people have had problems with kmix.
With the many re installs I have done, sometimes kmix works, sometimes I
have to use alsamixer.

Make sure that you are pointing to you correct sound card /dev/dsp ??

Cheers...

Subject: [mythtv-users] audio problem


Hi --

I'm running into a problem when I try to watch live tv - I'm getting
this error:

Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!
Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!
Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!
Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!
...

and no video on the screen. I'm using current CVS, and I'm using the
alsa driver for my card (emu10k1). I've already gone through the
troubleshooting steps in the mythtv docs, and can't find the problem.
(Running xawtv with the input muted and playing via aplay works fine).

Does anyone know what could cause this problem? I saw a few older posts
with the same error, but no solutions. Let me know if you need more
details.

--Colin

I've been using alsamixer; I'll keep playing with the mixer settings to
see if I can resolve this. I actually have 2 sound devices in my
machine: SB Live and on-board audio (Intel 810). I've been trying to
use the SB Live up to this point, but I'll probably experiment with the
other as well.

I was trying the same thing and messed things up with trying to get the
onboard via audio to work. I could get it working with only enabling the
headphone output in alsamixer. I finally gave up and disabled it. Then
did a fresh install of Mandrake 9 with just the SB Live.

Cheers...

with Red Hat 8.0 and it works fine

good luck

I'm using RH 8 as well; I've tried both the alsa drivers and the oss
drivers, with both the onboard intel-810 and my sblive card, and I keep
getting the same error. I guess I'll keep fiddling with the mixer
settings -- pretty frustrating, though.

Could you check out:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/mailarc/gforum.cgi?post=50962

and make the modification I requested of Merle and let me know what it thinks
the blocksize is? I believe the issue is that the soundcard driver is
returning a wrong value for it, and throwing things off.

Isaac

I made the modification you referred to - here's the output:

blocksize is: 4096

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide that would be useful.

I tried switching back to the alsa driver, and now I get this output:

blocksize is: 8192

(I was using the oss driver the last time).

I still get the same 'Audio buffer overflow' from the client side
though.

I am still occasionally having the s l o w motion problem.

I was about to try the suggestion in this email when I noticed that the
name of the file says "Record". I am only having this problem on my
frontend machine which doesn't do any recording.

I get the problem under two circumstances. One is watching LiveTV, and if
I quit the app and restart it, it usually goes away. Sometimes I have to
quit it twice.

The other is playing back recordings. I have two tuner cards and tonight
I recorded two shows at the same time. One of the shows plays back fine,
the other always does that slow motion thing. Both play fine on the
server machine. Could this be related to what tuner card was used to make
the recording? One is using btaudio, the other is not.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Larry

So you're running KDE then I presume. I don't know if myth has an option
to work with the KDE sound daemon, but if it doesn't, you will need to
kill the KDE sound daemon to allow myth access to the audio driver.

first thought would be that your mixer levels have been disturbed.
Try running alsamixer and seeing if any of the inputs have been muted.

Hi,

Hmm no they seem fine (I´ll recheck them later though).
Analog audio works in fedora-7 livecd.
Ubuntu edgy which is what I have only play AC-3.
Some analog sources over headphones, input from the PVR 150 which I think is
loopback only.
All PCM sound over coax to the amp has died ( AC-3 still works though)

/Henrik

There is no reason audio should have stopped working during stretch,
especially on V30 where there is little change happening. Perhaps
something changed with your audio setup? Check your digital audio settings.
