Hi, > Hmm...things you can try: > 1) Tell pulseaudio not to use the saa7134-alsa soundcard (click on > sound preferences (top panel, on the right, near the clock) and > disable saa7134 soundcard). > 2) Run "cat /proc/asound/card" or "arecord -l" and make sure you're > using the right device on the MPlayer command line (the > "adevice=hw.1,0" part). > 3) Add "audiorate=32000" like this: > mplayer tv:// -tv > driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:norm=PAL:input=0:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:amode=1:audiorate=32000:immediatemode=0:chanlist=europe-west Sound started to work with this command: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:amode=1:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:volume=100:immediatemode=0:norm=PAL but after I stopped mythtv-backend ;-) sudo service mythtv-backend stop I wasn't thinking that mythtv might be using the same resources. Things are working better and better with this card. :-) Sound works (but not that good, some chops) with tvtime also using this command: arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 32000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | sox -q -c 2 -r 32000 -t wav - -t alsa hw:0,0 tvtime I am getting a few: "sox WARN alsa: under-run" but sound works.
