Trouble with sound

[whurlston]

In the NextPVR Settings, click on "Decoders".
Set the "Audio Renderer" to "Default (recommended)".
Set the "MPEG1 Audio" and "AC-3 Audio" options to "LAV Audio Decoder".
Click the "..." button next to either the "MPEG1" or "AC-3" audio options to bring up the LAV audio decoder properties.
Uncheck everything under "Bitstreaming (S/PDIF,HDMI)"

That did it for me too! I had a similar installation but with different HW.

Took me a while to dig into this and kudo's to fshgrind to get this resolved. Maybe those LAV Audio Decoder options under 'Bitstreaming ..' shouldn't be checked by default? I don't know..

Other noob observations (in case there is some charitable lurker out there..) - my EPG is just started to fill in some programs. Not sure I understand what is happening here, when I tune into a channel, the EPG seems to start filling it in. I'm sure there is a link to a post that explains all of this.

Also, I'm pleasantly surprised that my WMC remote seems to 'just work' with NextPVR - good work guys! I'm still working on mapping my old WMC recordings to NextPVR - but am not sure if this will even work. Anyway, I'm impressed with this app.

This is because you're using the default OTA (over-the-air) EPG data that is broadcast with each channel, and you have "Update DVB EPG during live tv" enabled in Settings->Misc. The broadcast EPG is next to useless in the US, you really won't get good use out of the recording scheduler with it; if all you want to do is watch live tv though, I guess it'll be fine.

Instead I recommend using Schedules Direct (http://www.schedulesdirect.org) for EPG data. Support for it is built-in to NPVR.

Johnsonx42, you are a charitable lurker indeed. :-) I will poke around and attempt to use Schedules Direct EPG. Will post in an appropriate area if I have feedback or other interesting stuff to share.

Thank You, you guys make the internet worth while.
