Yes there is. The way that I did it was to make a shell script. I put it in the /usr/bin directory. I call it "run-xawtv". In it I put #!/bin/sh xawtv rmmod -a soundcore rmmod -a soundcore and set the permissions to User -rwe, Group -re, and others -re. I then linked the script from my desktop to /usr/bin/run-xawtv Now when I click on the link it starts xawtv. When I hit "q" or select it from the pop up window, xawtv then quits and then the second and third line of the script runs which then in turn removes the bttv module from the sound module! I solved my own problem and I want to share the solution with the rest of the redhat community. >My soundcard is a "CM8738" which is using the "cmpci" module that I had to manually setup because redhat's kudzu didn't automatically pick it up. I wonder if this is part of the problem because whein I use mplayer I have to adjust the sound through kmix volume control instead of using the volume control on mplayer which actually controls the volume through "pcm". > >Also I was wondering if it could be a new tuner that ATI is using that is different than earlier models of the other TV Wonder boards. This I don't know, but I am going to buy a sb Live card and then test again.
