[NTLUG:Discuss] MythTV sound issue

[. Daniel]

Oh okay.  Well I hope to have gotten to the bottom of the problems.

Knoppmyth, as I mentioned before, did not work well for me and I have 
gotten more success on more familiar ground.  In my case, Fedora Core 5.  
If I have success before the time of the meeting, I will be sure to lend my 
insights.

Is the Ft.Worth meeting on the same day as NTLUG?  If so, I might be 
visiting the Ft.Worth group (for the first time).  They have FOOD at their 
meetings. :)  hehehe.  But seriously, I had already said I would go to that 
one... it's a Saturday too and I haven't checked which day(s) it is.

Other hurdles, after the sound issue is resolved, is to get DVD ripping 
added to my functionality... seems that doesn't work either for the moment. 
 I'm dreading this, but I might just have to break down and actually LEARN 
something.  It would be tragic wouldn't it?  I mean if I had to learn 
something?
