I am haveing trouble with the sound output. It does not seem to work 
while watching TV. I am getting no sound
not even a crackle. I have checked  alsamixer and it is all set to 
acceptable levels
However when I listen to a cd or add a cd to the harddrive sound works fine.

I had to chang the symbolic link of /dev/dsp from /dev/dsp0 to 
/dev/audio to get any kind of sound out of the box
/dev/audio is not an option in the setup

I am using the onboard sound card of the shuttle motherboard
I believe it is a via chipset.

Would I be better off with a Soundblaster pci card?


I guess half the fun of mythtv is working the bugs out
when I get it it perfect I will have nothing to do..
