[mythtv-users] noob install video problem

I've been unsuccessfully trying to watch live tv (or recorded tv) on
mythtv after installing it. I've tried on mythbuntu, latest version, 32
bit and 64 bit. And ubuntu 9.04. I have an asus en8400gs video card, and
a hauppage 350 pvr card.

I think this line in the BACK end is where I'm getting a problem:

"SampleRate: Attempted to add a rate 32000 Hz, which is not in the list
of allowed rates."

I googled the above and haven't found anything I can figure out. There
was a thread about ALSA settings, but I want to get video working first.

I've tried using: Use Open source drivers and Nvidia (version 180)
drivers in both mythbuntu 32/64 and ubuntu OSes.

The overall interface works, the mythfilldatabase works. any advice
welcome. (I had it MythTV working in 8.04, and it stopped working when I
upgraded to 8.10. Now I'm trying again on a new box.) 

Thanks in advance!
