[mythtv-users] audio problems

[Chico Makani]

Thanks Michael.  I got it working following your advice.

Here's a recap for anyone who may have the same problem.  I had no volume control when running Myth.  This was true whether I used the internal conrol, or the mixer.  Solved as follows:

Use ALSA audio.  Set device to ALSA:default with no mixer control

Now you can use your mixer to control the volume.  To use your remote add the following lines to lircrc.  

begin
prog button config repeat end

begin
prog button config repeat end

begin
prog button config config repeat end

Make sure you are running irexec at startup.  The names (Vol+) are for my Hauppauge IR controler.

Get the volume control script here:

Make sure the names in the script match the names on your mixer.

Also, make sure you turn off ESD.
