Has anyone any suggestions? Any areas, settings, config files to investigate?

Thanks in advance.

I have inadvertently messed up my mythtv configuration. It first started when I changed my screen resolution to 1680X1050. I noticed that my tv viewing then went from widescreen to non widescreen.

In my attempts to get back to widescreen, I think I also affected the audio.

Here is the output from my backend log file. I don't know why it's referring to recordings. I know I recorded two programs before, but that was a few weeks ago. I do see an error getting codecs and something about an old IVTV ioctl, and MPEG Layers.

Any  help would be appreciated. Thank you!
