I had this happen when I tried to play recordings on my workstation from
the pundit - but was fixed when I properly nfs-mounted the recordings
directory...

You could also run strace on the process (via ssh from another machine),
or locally on a commandline-run of mythfrontend... Though the output
from strace is often cryptic.

To the best of my knowledge your hum is most likely due to differences
in the grounds between the television and the computer. I did a quick
search and found this to get you started:

Good luck

Subject: [mythtv-users] Pundit Update (good) and a couple of questions.

Well, the good news is that the TV-out on the pundit works better than
the VGA output. Now that I have the Pundit in my entertainment center I
can switch between the ReplayTV and MythTV or comparisons...DVD playback
is better, but still choppy... YMMV...

I'm getting a hum from the tv (Sony Wega) when the input of the computer
is selected. I've taken care to route the audio cables by them selves
and not near any power cables. I don't get a hum when I've got cheap pc
speakers attached. What else can I look for?

I can't view recordings. I go to the screen, press the right arrow key
to highlight the first show and that's pretty much the end of things.
Sometimes the preview loads, sometimes it doesn't. It's actually gotten
worse over the last day, or so. The output from the backend (separate
machine) and the frontend (pundit) looks normal. Should I try running
under gdb and stopping it when it (seems) to hang to get a backtrace?
I'm not really sure.

Thanks!

It's coming along... Almost there.

Well,

This is a front end only, so it should receive the recordings directly
from the back end. I did switch back to KDE (from BlackBox) as the
window manager and although the response is still slow, the recorded
shows now play...
