I would like to know if anyone has a successfully setup with a Virgin Media (UK cable company) set top box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4200DVB Digital Home Rev. 1.3) with an IR Blaster and some form of TV times. I have done some googling and I can't find anything related to this box and any for of MythTV. I would love to be able to go away and come back and have all the TV programs I like to watch all on my box waiting for me when I get back maybe even access them where I am staying over the net.

I am trying to use the normal sound output, although I am beginning to think that it might be easier just to buy a new sound card even though its going to have to be a cheapy

No unfortunately I haven't, I don't have the knowledge to do all that much without a lot of help. I think I might download and install Kubuntu and see if it has the same problems.

the result of asoundconf list is as follows

Names of available sound cards:
CK804

when I run the command sudo asoundconf set-default-card CK804 it didn't show any errors so I assume there wasn't one however there is still no sound

I have just rerun all the commands the results are as follows:

aplay -l

card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia CK804 - IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

apt-get install alsaconf

I ran apt-get update and repeated the install request and the result was the same

When I run the first command the terminal outputs the following:

When I run your second command I get the error message "bash: alsaconfig: command not found".

I hadn't noticed this earlier but on the LinuxMCE Launch Manager on the Audio tab the box next to "Audio driver:" is blank

Hi, I have just installed LinuxMCE 0704 using the Quick Install DVD on my 2nd PC which is using a GA-K8N Pro-SLI which uses a Realtek ALC850 Audio AC'97 Codec sound card. When I booted it up into LMCE there was no sound except for the beep thing (its doing some tunes not just the usual beep I'm ok noise so I am guessing thats LMCE not just the BIOS). I have not had any problems with previous Ubuntu or even PCLinuxOS installs on this machine and tested it on a PCLinuxOS boot disk I had floating around and the sound works fine (although it is coming out of the Rear Speaker Out port rather than Front Speaker Out port).

I stumbled across a control panel in PCLinuxOS that told me I was using a driver called "Intel 82801AA,82901AB,i810,i820,i830,i840,i845,MX440; SiS 7012; Ali 5455 (snd-intel8x0 [ALSA])" however I am not able to find anything in LMCE that will tell me what driver I am using. Could you please help me out? Thanks
