My setup is 3 machines all running Fedora Core 6 with 2.6.18 kernels. Machine 1 is my laptop where I want to run mythfrontend. Machine 2 is where I want to run mythbackend. Machine 3 is where I am running MySQL. I have compiled MythTV on m/c 1 and m/c 2 from source. I have no problems with running this setup as far as video is concerned for DVB-T (I haven't yet tried composite or s-video) - everything works fine. My problem comes with getting any audio at all. I suspect that my problem might be with the capture card. It's a LifeView FlyDVB-T Duo PCI and does both analogue TV and digital TV capture as well as composite and s-video capture. The chip on the card is a Phillips saa7134. The card has two connectors up in one corner. One is a 4 pin Molex type connector and is marked "CD IN" (I'm guessing that the purpose of this is obvious). Next to it is a 4 pin connector that I think is an SB type connector and it is marked "AUDIO OUT". The card came without any card to motherboard cables and in the doco (Windows only naturally) makes no reference to any cabling from card to motherboard, but I suspect that such a cable is necessary. I do know that the sound systems work fine on both m/c 1 and m/c 2 under other circumstances. So, my questions are: 1. Do I need to cable the sound separately, or should the sound be being handled over the PCI bus along with the video stream? 2. What is the pin assignment for the SB connector? I'm assuming at this stage that it is the same as for the Molex, namely R G G L. 3. What do I need to do to either alsa or oss on the backend machine, and also on the frontend machine? I really am clueless as to how Linux sound works. 4. How does MythTV capture and store the sound? Does it do that as a combined stream together with the video into the .nuv files? Any clues or pointers gratefully received - I'm getting good at lip reading :) -- Howard.
