Post subject:  No sound....in Mythfrontend

So all of a sudden I now have no sound on my mythfrontend. I can convert the file to divx and sound is there, but not when I try and watch recording on my frontend. Also, there is no sound when I try to stream the file via mythstream..

Any suggestions???

I suggest you tell us what hardware you are using. What version knoppmyth you have. What all your settings are and so forth.

I'm not really sure why the hardware would matter, since this has all been running fine for the last 3 montsh..

I have V5R26...

I have found that I am getting an error message on the server when I run mythfrontend." Error Opening Audio Device /dev/dsp. Permission Denied"

Not sure what would have changed. I ran Alsa config and it found my card ok (Via82xx AC97)

I had to re-add mythtv user to the audio group yet:

as root:
usermod -G audio mythtv

Not sure why that users dropped off the audio group.

I had this happen to me just now on my backend machine. It's as if the audio cable is disconnected. I just auto updated to R5A30.2 (flawless by the way). Problem is I *still* have no audio in watch TV mode, or music, or video... I ran alsaconf but that didn't do anything helpful.

Which log files do I need to audit to see where the problem may be? I tried /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log but there wasn't anything in there relating to audio.

Figured it out... the board's internal audio is fried. Ended-up trying the "speaker-test" which didn't produce any sound. thought it was the cable, replaced it with headphones, nothing.

Put n old IDE drive in there and install windows. No sound despite the drivers being loaded. Conclusion: onboard audio went bad. Plugged in an old PCI soundboard. That worked.
