Sound Problem - Any Help Appreciated (A Little OT, but not much)
"Little OT" because it's not Myth related (yet). I'm trying to install
Myth, have been for a few weeks, but first want to get my system working
properly. I've got xawtv installed, great picture but NO SOUND. Try as I
might, and I have gone through this list extensively, I can't find the
problem. So, please if you have time and a similar configuration, bear
with me...

H/W: Dell PIII, 550MHz, 500MB, tons of disk, all OK.
Capture: AverMedia Studio BT card
Sound: SB Live 5.1
OS: RH9:

Here's the complete contents of my modules.conf.

One question - I don't seem to have a tda9840 driver, do I need this?
(leaving this line out makes no difference though).

I'm sure this points to the configuration error somewhere. My apologies

I'd do it for you!

RE: Sound Problem - Any Help Appreciated (A Little OT, but not much) [ In reply to ]
Had the same problem with the live 5.1 I never found the solution,
decided to put my myth box on hold for a while and just monitor the
mailing list before and save up some money before I take it for a spin.

When I would initially set up my system, my mixer had an "o-Gain" slider
that would allow me to get sound... but as soon as I installed the
latest alsa, this slider disappeared and all I would get is EXTREMELY
low volume (to the point that the system volume and the speaker volume
were maxed and I could just barely hear it)

I'll keep an eye on this thread, I hope someone has a simple solution
for us ;-)

Joe

Re: Sound Problem - Any Help Appreciated (A Little OT, but not much) [ In reply to ]
I have RH9 and SB Live on two mythbackends working fine under oss. I
have switched to oss a long time ago before alsa seemed to break sb live
support(i think i read that somewhere). I have never looked back. I
get the added functionality of emu-dspmgr which allowed me to control
where to send the audio output (front or rear speakers in one machine,
front or digital in the other) plus I got ac3 pass through working.
This is all done without loading or unloading the driver so myth can be
happily recording and not be interrupted. search for emu10k1 drivers in
google.

RE: Sound Problem - Any Help Appreciated (A Little OT, but not much) [ In reply to ]
Just a follow up for the group in case anyone else is interested.

I removed ALSA (I had the latest - 0.9?) and configuration from the
modules.conf file; once I restarted I had sound with nothing else to do.

Looks like Alsa screws things up in some cases; I'd recommend not using it
unless nothing else is working.

"Little OT" because it's not Myth related (yet). I'm trying to install Myth,
have been for a few weeks, but first want to get my system working properly.
I've got xawtv installed, great picture but NO SOUND. Try as I might, and I
have gone through this list extensively, I can't find the problem. So,
please if you have time and a similar configuration, bear with me...

H/W: Dell PIII, 550MHz, 500MB, tons of disk, all OK.
Capture: AverMedia Studio BT card
Sound: SB Live 5.1
OS: RH9:

Here's the complete contents of my modules.conf.

One question - I don't seem to have a tda9840 driver, do I need this?
(leaving this line out makes no difference though).

I'm sure this points to the configuration error somewhere. My apologies for

I'd do it for you!

You removed ALSA and things worked right away on reboot because you
still had the module info for OSS in /etc/modules.conf. Before removing
ALSA, you were trying to load both ALSA and OSS drivers, which will
definitely cause problems.
