Old problem that I still haven't quite figured out, looking to see if anyone has any suggestions.<br>
<br>
System: Myth on FC3 via Jarod's setup guide, <br>
Audio: SBLive card connected to 5.1 tuner via SBLive Drive optical
output. Using the .asoundrc file to get AC3 output to the tuner.<br>
Video: via Firewire from Moto6200<br>
CPU: AMD 2400 XP, plenty of ram, etc.<br>
<br>
Problem: Audio on non 5.1 programs. Watching live TV, playback stutters
every second, it sounds as though the audio is playing back too fast
(Chipmunk sound), but the video is playing OK (Getting buffer underrun
messages). When watching a recorded show audio still plays back fast
and video plays back fast as well.<br>
<br>
So most HBO programming which plays in 5.1 dolby digital plays/records
just fine, but other programming like cartoon network plays as
described above.<br>
<br>
It's been suggested that I try a simple .asoundrc file:<br>
<br>
pcm.!default {<br>
type plug<br>
slave.pcm "hw:0,2"<br>
}<br>
<br>
which allows me to listen to view all programs, and the audio works OK, but lacks 2 things:<br>
<br>
Dolby Digital/5.1/whatever output and on my HBO programs all I'm
picking up are the left and right audio channels, the center, LS and RS
speakers appear muted.<br>
<br>
Maybe I just need to set something in myth? If I enable AC3 bypass all I get is static in my stereo.<br>
<br>
Any help appreciated, I just got LIRC working, everything is automated,
I'm a happy Myth user, but the lack of the audio I want is starting to
peeve me off. Any suggestions? Please speak in small words, I'm quite
new still and some of the linux terminology still confuses me.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Andy<br>
