On an ASRock ION 330 with a DigitalNow TinyTwin usb receiver I'm using spdif sound under Mythbuntu 9.04. <br>I've used the Avenard updates as per <a href="http://avenard.com/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Ubuntu_Repository.html">http://avenard.com/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Ubuntu_Repository.html</a>, updated to Nvidia 185 drivers and done the dvb_usb_af9015 update.<br>
<br>All was working well except with the second tuner enabled I was getting no lock on the second tuner and noise on the first one, so I disabled it again which left everything working well.<br> <br>Without any updates I'm aware of playing videos no longer has sound. Worked on the 12th , not the 13th October (Australia). <br>
<br>Similarly was working for TV but after re-enabling the second tuner (got an aerial amplifier) it now no longer locks the signal on the first tuner even with 95-97% signal strength. Hitting C to switch tuners did nothing but /dev/dvb shows both adaptors again and sources etc are hooked up in setup. Hit M and it crashes the frontend with nothing in the log. <br>
<br>After disabling the second tuner I'm still left with no lock on the one tuner. After getting the amplifier I had it working fine with one tuner. Switching back to unamplified signal has same result just with lower signal strength so its not the amplifier screwing things up. <br>
<br>
Still works fine for music.<br><br>So two questions:<br>1. why did video sound stop?<br>2. how can I fix my tuner?<br><br>I can make videos play sound again by adding "-ao alsa:device=spdif" to the default video player command via setup, but don't see why I now need to. The general sound setup still specifies spdif as it always has done.<br>
<br>I'm not an idiot nor a linux or MythTV guru. If you are going to tell me to edit file xyz, or adjust option X please say where to find it!<br><br>thanks<br>Steve<br>
