[mythtv-users] HDA-intel sound problems.

[Russell Brown]

I have a Pundt P1 AH-1 with hda-intel onboard sound
which I use a frontend. The system is based on fedora
core 5 with packages from atrpms.

I have sound with my video and tv, but I cannot get mythmusic
to play. The volume controls in mythtv do not work.
The mythtv user is able to play music files outside
of mythtv using mplayer. So I do not think it is a permission
problem.

Running alsamixer shows that I do not have a Master
volume control.

lspci -v gives:

00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 81cb
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 209
        Memory at fe028000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

I have the following packages installed from atrpms:
rpm -qa alsa*
alsa-lib-1.0.12-31.fc5.at
alsa-driver-1.0.12-54.fc5.at
alsa-utils-1.0.11-4.rc2
alsa-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5-1.0.12-54.fc5.at

I had alsa-driver 1.0.13 installed briefly, but this caused more
problems. The idea to downgrade came from
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/229947

1. Should I have a master volume control in alsa mixer?
2. Any suggestions on how to tell if this is a mythtv problem
or referrals to a more appropriate list.
