strange - No audio until channel change

When I fire up MythTV, all I hear on the first channel is dead silence.
However, after I change channels, everything is good and clear. I can
launch XawTV and aplay /dev/dsp and it'll work. I've tried setting the
tuner to different types, without much luck. I'm using a Sound Blaster
Live! OEM card, along with a Prolink Pixelview BT878+9B on a Athlon XP 2400+
running Gentoo (same results under Mandrake, btw). Perhaps I'll try the OSS
drivers instead of ALSA. *shrugs*

Any ideas? It's driving me crazy not being able to record shows, but the
live tv is a God-send!!

Thanks everyone especially Isaac.

Jay

This is a known ivtv bug. See

I'm pretty sure he isn't using the ivtv driver (at least he didn't reference
it explicitly, though he did mention a non-ivtv driver card).

Also note: The latest ivtv drivers shouldn't have the sound problem.

That's correct, I'm just using plain 'ol bttv. I may try pulling down myth
CVS first or wait for .11 before nagging Isaac about it. Also, I don't know
of a way to be sure that this is a problem with MythTV exactly. However,
like I said, XawTV works flawlessly while aplay'ing /dev/dsp, which I assume
is what MythTV is essentially doing.

Any ideas for a course of action?

Thanks again,

Jay
