[MPlayer-users] Audio Static

[Jon]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me out.

I rebuilt my dedicated Freevo recording server this weekend.  The major
change was going from Fedora Core 2, to Ubuntu 6.10.  Now whenever I record,
the video is fine but the audio is all static.  I have a Pinnacle tuner card
with the jumper cable from the tuner to my audio in on my sound card.  I
plugged some speakers into the audio out on the tuner card and hear the
static there as well so I don't think it is my sound card setup.

 

Here is the tuner card portion of the dmesg output: 

[42949392.840000] bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). [42949392.840000] ACPI: PCI

Those last few lines worry me.  I had this card working fine before I went
to Ubuntu 6.10.  

Here is the mencoder record command if it helps: /usr/local/bin/mencoder
tv:// -tv

Thanks!
