[mythtv-users] Sound issue that I can't seem to figure out

["José Tomás @ Chico"]

You may have the same issue that I have. A profile recording issue...

google: "site:www.mythtv.org tomas chico" or read 
"http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2008-October/235352.html"

Talking with a couple of friends that tried mythtv I found that this 
issue is more common then I espect, I believe that the mythtv team 
should try to make visible the solution. Those friends decided that 
mythtv was not good :-O, one of them has one of those very good card, 
and so he was a success.
