[mythtv-users] MythTV Audio Distortion/Settings

[Aaron Jackson]

Hi, I'm new to MythTV so please bear with me. I finally got the video 
problems I was having worked out. Recording video/watching live tv now 
works great without audio. The problem is that now I have two different 
problems with my audio.

I have a Hauppage WinTV-dbx 401 card. The card has an onboard audio
capture device. When I set myth up to record /dev/dsp1 (the hauppage
capture device) mythtv distorts the sound. The sound is perfectly in
sync with the video but it sounds like it's over amplified when recorded
and then the volume is reduced to normal levels (real grainy).

The second problem is when I try to get input from the cable to the card. 
The onboard capture is mono sound and Iwould like my captures to be in 
stereo. For whatever reason I cannot get mythtv to capture the sound from 
the aux input. I have a Soundblaster Live Platinum 5.1. The card is 
connected internally to the Aux input on the soundblaster card. I can hear 
the TV if I unmute the playback channel in Alsamixer, but MythTV doesn't 
seem to be getting any audio from the capture input for the Aux part of 
the card. This could be some simple configuration issue that I'm 
overlooking. I've gone to alsamixer and pressed spacebar on the aux input 
on the capture page to set it to Captur, but still no luck.

any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Yolan
