My mythtv backend has a WinTV-Go for recording. Up until a month ago, I was using RCA video output from my directv receiver plugged into the composite input, and the RCA outputs from the satellite receiver combined into a stereo plug and plugged into the line-in slot on the card. Sound was fine, a little tinny, but it worked well enough. From there, I daisy-chained the line-out of the WinTV card to the line-in on my motherboard (snd_cmipci). Everything was good.
<br><br>But now I'm using the coax cable as the input. The sound works, but it produces a horrible squeal louder than the program's audio, and sometimes it just distorts things. I've heard some things come out octaves lower than they should be, but sometimes there is just buzzing and cracking... always louder than the program's audio.
<br><br>It sounds clear when I watch tv using tvtime. I've plugged in speakers to the line-out on the WinTV card, and it sounds clear. I'm not sure exactly which part is causing the distortion, but it seems to be mythtv and not the hardware.
<br><br>I've recompiled mythtv to a few different versions, and that didn't fix anything. I've attempted to switch the input from /dev/dsp to ALSA:default, and that didn't fix anything. I've also attempted to use uncompressed audio, instead of mp3 audio, and that didn't work.
