Anyways, the problem I am having is with the MythTV and the Philips saa7134 chipset capture card I use. Tvtime works perfectly, but the sound in myth isn't working. Took me a while, but I have just realised it's the same problem I had last time I installed myth (and I think I hacked the drivers to make it work).. it doesn't detect the sound carrier properly and chooses a 4.500 MHz, 5.500 MHz or 6.000 Mhz audio carrier at random.. and logs these to the console.
I use a saa7134 card and a 2.6.9 vanilla linux kernel. A problem I've encountered before is that watching tv with xawtv or listening to the radio is fine (using the loopback cable into the sound card's line in), but if I record from the sound card (with the mixer set to record line in), I only get static. This only happens sometimes, and if I move the line-in volume, it then records ok. So I suspect something isn't being initialised on boot (maybe in the soundcard's driver?). This is with a soundblaster live. John
