WARNING: OPERATING ON YOUR MYSQL TABLES COULD HOSE YOUR SYSTEM. BACK UP YOUR DB BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MANUAL EDITING

I only know how to directly edit mysql table thru webmin. The table you want to edit is "settings." Log into webmin and go to SERVERS > MYSQL > MYTHCONVERG > EXECUTE SQL BUTTON. Enter this command:



I also notice in my db that there is a setting for 'MusicAudioDevice'. On my box it is set to 'default' and music works fine. You may try to set that value as well.

Ok, so it already appears to be set.

I'm a little confused... Did you find the "EXECUTE SQL" button and execute the command from my last post? should not be anywhere in sight if you were on the "EXECUTE SQL" page. My only other pointers would be to look over these two web pages:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound
and
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound_with_AC3_and_SPDIF

Maybe do a search on your audio chipset as well... Good luck and let us know if you get to the bottom of the problem.

yup- found it, pasted the command into the field and mysql seemed to accept it since the search for that value showed up with the corrected hw:0,1. restarted mysql, even rebooted the machine. The value in myth\general settings is the ALSA:hw:0,1 but everytime I try mythmusic, mythfrontend complains about the snd_pcm_hw:0,2 not found message.

everytime I'm searching field values I see that message about the primary key. google only returns 6 threads with that string. weird.

well this weekend is the first I've had in a while to throw some time at it. I will post results of testing. thanks again!

I have posted the details of how to update stuff in the settings table multiple times including a couple utility scripts for particular settings. A search requiring all of "settings", "update", and "mysql" with me as the author should find plenty of examples.

You can also do this using the settings page of MythWeb at: http://YOUR_HOST_OR_IP_HERE/mythweb/settings/settings

wow. that was exactly what the dr. ordered. I must say I did a search on quite a few things, but that particular combination honestly did not cross my mind.
So the first problem was that I was searching for 'snd_pcm_output' gleaned from mythfrontend (which returned nada). The second problem was that I was repeatedly adjusting AudioOutputDevice where I should have been adjusting 'MusicAudioDevice' -- that one sailed over my head even though mihanson suggested I give it a shot.

Well thanks again folks. I appreciate the hints/leads as usual.

I have an EPIA M10000, my aplay -l shows the following:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 0: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235]
Subdevices: 4/4
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 1: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I put "ALSA:hw:0,0" as my device and ALSA:iec958:{ AESO 0x02 } as my passthrough. I now get audio for both my PVR recording and my dvb.
