I've managed to get MythTV to start up OK and get a picture.<br>
What I cannot do is to:<br>
<br>
1) Get any sound; nor<br>
2) Change channels<br>
<br>
The sound system basically works because when KDE comes up I get the
start up sounds. However later on I usually get a KDE error dialog
saying it cannot connect to the sound device which is a separate
problem. <br>
<br>
I had set-up showing connections to /dev/dsp but noting the options, I
wondered how I might go about defining which to select on a more
scientific basic than hit and miss.<br>
<br>
Video comes up on the predefined start channel but will not change.
Pressing the up or down arrow keys brings up different station logos
and descriptors but the picture remains the same. <br>
<br>
<br>
My hardware is an AMD64 3700 running 32 bit Mandriva 2006 with a
2.6.12-12.mm.1mdk kernel<br>
I am using ivtv-0.2.0 (because it installs without errors unlike later
versions) and MythTV-0.19.<br>
<br>
modprobe-preload contains this:<br>
<br>
# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.<br>
#<br>
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are<br>
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with<br>
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.<br>
# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY<br>
# for old kernel use /etc/modules<br>
<br>
ivtv<br>
amd64-agp<br>
<br>
modprobe.conf contains this:<br>
<br>
alias eth0 forcedeth<br>
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0<br>
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_nv; /bin/true<br>
remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe
--first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0<br>
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install
snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }<br>
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd;
/bin/true<br>
options ivtv cardtype=2 ivtv_std=2<br>
alias char-major-81 videodev<br>
alias char-major-81-0 iv<br>
<br>
Can anyone offer advice concering either of these two problems?<br>
