I have been using Mythtv for about 4 months, very happily.  I am using FC2
with a PVR-250, and onboard audio (Dell 400SC PowerEdge).  I use a nVidia
GeForce 4 MX 420 and Jarod's guide to build it.
 
For some reason for the last three days I have ONLY ONE channel in which
audio is not working.  All the other channels currently work as normal.
Never had a problem with it before in the last four months.  You can hear
some output if you turn the amp all the way up, but it is still soft, and
crackily.  The bizarre part is, that if I plug the cable input straight into
my TV, the audio on this channel DOES work.  So I know it's not the
broadcast.  The same problem happens if it is a recording or liveTV.  I live
on my own, so no one else has been messing with it.   If it was any other
channel, I wouldn't mind, but this is the channel I watch most.  Has anyone
else had this problem??  (obviously not because I searched the forum
beforehand, but if anyone might have a lead on what's going on, I'd
appreciate the help!!!)

ALSO, and this is less important because I've been living with it for the
past four months anyway, but when I am watching liveTV and that window pops
up saying that you have another recording that's about to start, no matter
what option you pick, when the timer gets to zero, the frontend freezes.
Still records, but I have to get my keyboard out to reset the frontend.
What I do is just panic and exit to the menu screen before the timer gets to
zero, but it is annoying when you're not paying attention and it freezes on
you.  I know this issue has been addressed before, but I have not seen a
good solution for it. 

While I'm here I might as well lay all my problems upon your gracious
ears....you see I just broke up with my girlfriend.  Just kidding...my last
and final question is that my Poweredge apparently MUST have a monitor
attached to it to boot.  This is extreemly annoying if the power goes out or
something and I have to lug my old ctr out of the closet.  You would think
since this cpu is designed to be a server, this would not be a requirement,
but who knows--it's a dell.  The monitor does not have to be turned on, or
even plugged in, but it must be attached.  I tried just sticking a monitor
cable into the 15-pin connector, but it doesn't work because I think it has
to complete a circuit.  I cannot find anyone who sells loopback plugs
either.  I also tried turning off the monitor requirement at the bios, but
there is no such option. Any suggestions?

Jim
