[mythtv-users] Stereo sound with PVR-250

[Mats Cedergren]

I'm recordning from the Tuner on the PVR-250 card. I have tried it in
WindowsXP (the same computer, dual boot setup) and there the card works
perfectly and I get stereo sound from all channels that transmit in stereo.
When I play music or other movies (.avi, .mpg, dvd etc) i get stereo sound.

When I play a video captured with "cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg" using
mplayer "mplayer /tmp/test.mpg" it reports that the file have two channel
sound but I can hear that the sound is not in stereo.

What source are you recording? Many satellite receivers and some cable boxes
only output mono sound from the tv out. Does your signal source have another
output? The composite video out will be quite a bit better and s-video is
even better.

And -------------------------------------------
What are you recording from?  Tuner or A/V in?  If you're recording from 
the tuner, then the problem is probably your audio output, not the 
-250.  If the -250 is really recording mono sound and the source is 
definitely stereo, then you've got a bad card.


More likely, either (1) you've misconfigured your tuner type, (1a) or if 
you're not using the tuner, does your audio input to the PVR-250 have a 
stereo plug?, or (3) your recordings are just fine, but there is a 
problem with the way your audio output is configured, which has nothing 
to do with the PVR-250.  To check (3), try playing a recording on a 
different machine.
