I'm trying to get Myth working on an older system (P4 1.7 GHz, Hauppage
WinTV Go tuner card connected via minijack to SB Live value card,
GeForce3 video card) so that I would have a convenient way of recording
TV shows - I'm not all that concerned about audio or video quality. I
installed it using the Mythdora distro, and everything seems to be
working fine save audio. I've hit a snag because I can't figure out
why my video lags behind my audio - sometimes it's by several
seconds... sometimes it's only off by seemingly less than a second.
Also, after I exit "Watch TV" mode, I still get the sound from whatever
channel I had been on and it continues to stay on even after exiting
the frontend until I open another program that makes use of the tuner
card. After I close that second program, the audio stays off. I have
the line in muted, but set to record. After playing with mixer
settings, I found the sound coming from the TV tuner only goes away
after setting PCM to mute.
<br><br>The fact the gap between audio and video never seems to be the
same made me think that the computer was just too slow and that video
encoding just couldn't keep up, but then the fact that sound stayed on
after exiting the frontend made me think the sound is not setup
correctly, either in Myth or elsewhere. Is the first scenario even
possible? As for the second scenario, everywhere I've searched says
make sure the line in is muted, and I've already ruled that out.
<br><br>Any ideas for fixes, or things to check would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss as to where to go at this point.
