Yes, /dev/dsp2 should be the sound device to use for the 800i analog audio stream given the above output. > > Im still on a learning curve here, so my next question is this: > > What specifically do I need to do here?

What you need to do is to record the sound stream from /dev/dsp2 for your 800i. If you use tvtime, you can run the following command in one terminal "arecord -D hw:2,0 -f dat | aplay" and keep it running. Then start tvtime as usual in another terminal, you should be able to hear the audio now if everything goes smoothly. For other applications such as mythtv, they probably have an option to set up which sound device to use for audio capture, which again is normally defaulted to /dev/dsp, you simply need to change that to /dev/dsp2. -- Chaogui Zhang _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
