[mythtv-users] Sound Blaster Live 5.1 DE issues

[Joseph H. Fry]

Well. I have exhausted all my resources, and can't seem to find anything
that works in the archive so maybe one of you can point me in the right
direction!
 
Here's the situation:
 
When I run ALSA drivers I get no audio but video works. not smooth but
that will come next.  If I use OSS drivers I get sound but no video (I
wonder is that blue screen on an error a tribute to Microsoft?).  I have
reloaded the machine completely a couple of times, trying both Mandrake
and Redhat. I have used the default ALSA drivers, the latest stable
release, and even the latest CVS version.
 
When I have things running the closest to right that I have been (video
with no audio) every thing seems to work ok, except some excessive disk
access and choppy video that will probably be resolved with some
tweaking and a correctly compiled kernel.
 
I'm wondering if the ALSA driver's lack of an O-Gain slider is my
problem. this slider is in the OSS driver and always requires some
adjustment if I want to actually hear anything with OSS.
 
Well I guess that's all I have to offer, if anyone has had any success
with this card  and can give me some guidance please let me know.  I am
a bit of a newbie (I learn fast though) so please include the command
line to use if you need any diagnostic info!
 
If I don't solve this soon I'll just swap the damn card for the cheapest
PCI card I can find and see if I can have better luck. I just hoped to
connect this box to my receiver through the digital output.
 
Thanks, 
 
Joe
