TV - Just live sound : no record, no pause (

When viewing TV, and hit P, the image pauses but not the
sound. When recording, sound does not get recorded.

When I quit mythtv, the TV sound continues to play until I
stop the alsa daemon. On the next system start, it starts to
play as soon as the alsa daemon starts !

I read the myth howto chapter on sound and used various alsa
mixers accordingly to set
- Line=mute, capture,
- Capture=capture
- Master = nomute
- PCM = nomute
all with 75to100% levels

but there is no sound at all with line=mute

The problem occurs either with (device=ALSA:default,
mixer=default) or (device:/dev/dsp, mixer=/dev/mixer) in
mythfrontend

I run mythtv 0.18.1 (home compiled) on debian sarge on an
Intel865PERL motherboard. I get the image from an internet TV
box with a SCART out.

Sound modules are as follows:
philippe[at]debian:~$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_intel8x0 34696 1
snd_ac97_codec 68228 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss 53288 0
snd_mixer_oss 19840 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 95496 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 25348 1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 11784 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart 8064 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_rawmidi 24996 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device 8328 1 snd_rawmidi
snd 56292 11
snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore 10464 2 bttv,snd

I noticed that there is no "mixer" device in /dev/snd, is this
a problem ??

Do you have any ideas ??

Thank you

You still need to fix your audio settings. See
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html#ss21.5 (specifically the
section "Troubleshooting audio") and re-read
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-7.html .

In fact I messed it up because I plugged the audio from the scart into
my sound card line-in and not into the PVR audio in.

Thank you
