[mythtv-users] Suddenly no audio

[Mark Adams]

Okay, I've gone from acceptable but low volume to silence.

Mandriva ran a bunch of updates through today and now I get audio 
everywhere but MythTV.  I repeat: everything (VLC, mplayer, Amarok, 
Audacious2, everything) plays audio just fine except for MythTV. They 
even play mpeg files recorded by MythTV with audio just fine.  I have 
been though the settings methodically changed them over the past two 
hours in an effort to fix it via trial and error and I have gained nothing.

Pulse audio is no longer running. And I've done everything I can think 
of or find by Googling the issue.  I'm very frustrated.  I have no idea 
where to go from here.  Here are the current (default) settings that 
worked until this evening:

Audio Output Device: ALSA:default

Passthrough Output Device: Default

Mixer Device: ALSA:default

Mixer Controls: Master

Volume controls in MythTV are at 95%.

Here is the hardware info from lshw:

I would really appreciate some help here.

Thanks.
