I have the same processor, chipset and hdtv card. My best hdtv viewing
experience happens when I use the "standard" decoder and the "linear
blend" deinterlacing method.<br>

established SD
<br>
system. As an SD system, it was functioning perfectly. I decided to
upgrade
<br>
the system to FC6 while I was taking it down to install the HD card. I
<br>
successfully got the system working up to the previous level and got
the HD
<br>
input functioning and channels mapped. However, I have scoured google
and I
<br>
have reached an impasse on the following issues which as far as I can
tell
<br>
may not be resolved. Most of the relevant threads seem to be abandoned
in
<br>
the end with no resolution.
<br>
<br>
My system specs are:
<br>
NF7-S (onboard sound with optical out), Athlon XP 3200+, 512MB RAM, GF4
MX
<br>
420, Hauppauge PVR150 MCE, pcHDTV 5500, FC6
kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.i686,
<br>
ALSA 1.0.13, nvidia 9629, connected to a 32" 1360x768 LCD monitor by
VGA
<br>
cable, all the rest of software is the latest version from yum
installed per
<br>
Jarod's howto.
<br>
<br>
1) I have been unable to output Dolby Digital sound through my SPDIF. I
can
<br>
output digital sound however only digital stereo. If I attempt to
output
<br>
48kHz Dolby Digital through the SPDIF, I get silence. If I attempt to
output
<br>
44.1kHz Dolby Digital sound, I get noise (as expected). In either case,
my
<br>
amplifier never identifies the input as Dolby Digital. This problem is
not
<br>
limited to Myth and I have observed it in mplayer using an AC3 sound
file as
<br>
well. I am using the asound.conf from here:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound</a>
<br>
. My default is the digital-hw connection and I modified it to be
device 2
<br>
as appropriate for my SPDIF connection.
<br>
<br>
When attempting to output Dolby Digital sound in either mplayer or
Myth, I
<br>
receive no indication that it has failed other than the apparent lack
of
<br>
sound. I have tested the source AC3 file on a different computer and
<br>
verified that it is indeed a valid sound file. If I use software AC3
<br>
decoding, I get a functioning digital stereo output. Here is a sample
<br>
mplayer run: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pastebin.ca/296144">http://pastebin.ca/296144</a> . I also have modified iecset to
both
<br>
audio and non-audio in an attempt to get it working but had no success
with
<br>
that.
<br>
<br>
2)
<br>
2) My HD playback is stuttering and unwatchable. I believe I have
<br>
successfully enabled XvMC (and have grayscale OSD ) and that the
problem
<br>
lies on the sound output as supported by the output from mythfrontend
but I
<br>
am uncertain: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pastebin.ca/296145">http://pastebin.ca/296145</a> . I have no vsync options
marked (in
<br>
Myth settings or nvidia-settings). I have played with audio buffering
and
<br>
deinterlacing options.
<br>
I have modified options per every web page I can find and I am
completely
<br>
stumped and would appreciate any help. I would be glad to provide any
<br>
additional information as requested. Thanks.
