[mythtv-users] sound problem partially fixed

[David]

Well, it took some time, but I'm now running Gentoo instead of Fedora.  I 
installed Myth this evening with "alsa" in my USE flag, hoping that I 
could avoid the issues I had with sound during my previous install/setup.  
This time, audio us nicely synced with video.  However, the distortion and 
graininess of the sound is awful.

I combed the old messages and searched Google for ideas on how to get Myth 
to use ALSA.  I'm able to do it with xmms right now.  However, ALSA 
options don't present themselves in Myth.  I force-fed an option into the 
DB, but that didn't work either.  According to a message or two that I 
read from this list, emerging the gentoo package with an alsa USE flag 
will enable ALSA.  It doesn't seem to be the case, but I don't know.  Is 
there a command line option to see what Myth is supporting, i.e. xvmc, 
alsa, etc.?

Also, if anyone has ideas about what I can do to correct this sound 
problem, I'd be grateful.

Time for bed,
