Post subject: | Sound problem with live TV but not with recordings |
I have a AMD Athlon 1800 with VIA chipset, SBLive Value and Leadtek TV 2000 XP When I watch live TV I have pop's and crackle's on some sounds, the louder the sounds sometimes produces more distortion. However if I schedule a recording on that same channel and play it back afterwards I have no issues. I also seem to have some visual artifacts in some cases ( dont know if it's related ) where section of the screen doesnt update. Almost like mpeg curruption. Any help would be appreceated. R |

Have you already tried shifting the cables around to minimize cross talk? The big difference between "live TV" and prerecorded is the recording activity. Have you tried watching a prerecorded program while something else is recording to see if it occurs then too? |

Nope that doesnt help, also it would seems to be encoder related, I have checked my encoder settings, where do I check to see which encoder profile it uses? R |

Live TV generally uses the "live" profile under utilities/setup, setup, tv, recording profiles. You may have screwy sound settings there for some reason. Compare it to the default profile in the same place. |

This may not exactly be a solution, but you might try just rewinding the liveTV about 5 seconds or so (obviously you'll have to let it play for a few seconds without sound first). I have this same problem occasionally (especially with HDTV), and a short rewind more often than not fixes the problem. Another thing you can try is quit WatchTV and then reselect WatchTV. I've noticed that sometimes the FIRST channel I watch (whatever the default one is) is usually fine, but if I change channels while watching liveTV I will (sometimes) have sound problems on subsequent channel selections. Restarting liveTV often "fixes" the problem (to be clear - I don't mean restarting all of Myth, just escaping out of liveTV and going back in). Like I said, they aren't really fixes, but very simple work-arounds that seemed to have helped me. Edit: BTW - I'm still running R5A22. |

There is a setting to enable advanced audio buffering in the setup screens somewhere. The description seems to match these symptons. Have you tried enabling it? |
