Hi to everyone, I have a Kworld DVB-T 323UR hybrid tuner connected to my Linux Mint Gloria (based on Ubuntu Jaunty). I route the sound from it the following way: arecord -D hw:1,0 -c 2 -r 48000 -f S16_LE | aplay - The problems are: - background noise and sound is almost muted, I can hardly hear the sound with the speakers turned to max volume. - slight delay between A/V - sometimes when I stop the sound routing (pressing Ctrl-C in the terminal) the whole system hangs up. I tried the routing with sox too, sound quality &volume is the same, but the A/V delay is much higher (~4 seconds) even with the smallest buffer setting. I use tvtime for viewing. Here is the output of aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Volume settings in the mixer seem to be fine. I tried to attach my dmesg output but the mail would have been too large. Thanks in advance for your help, Laszlo
