no audio in mythtv

[nos09]

hello guys,

I have installed archlinux on my raspberrypi (uname : Linux alarmpi 4.4.8-2-ARCH #1 SMP Tue Apr 26 19:14:58 MDT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux).

I have aslo installed mythtv on top of it along with lxde. here is the version info :

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -Qs myth
local/mythplugins-mythweb 1:0.28-1
Web interface for the MythTV scheduler
local/mythtv 1:0.28-3
A Homebrew PVR project
')

After configuring mythtv as per the wiki everything is been working smoothly, except for auido.
when ever i start mythfrontend or kodi the audio is not seem to be working. mythfrontend gives error like : "diabling audio" with the big red "X".

Also i have been accessing the gui from vnc so far, is there any way to check if audio is properly configured from within vnc ???

I have been stuck on this problem for some time now all by myself, any help would be really appriciated !!

Thank you !!!

Sorry for the delayed response on the forum, I was a little ill these days so couldn't work on this ..

The problem still persists. my /boot/config.txt file contains the follwing (as suggested by some on other forum answers with similar problem.)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
cat /boot/config.txt
# See /boot/overlays/README for all available options
dtparam=audio=on
hdmi_drive=2
')

Also, PulseAudio is installed.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -Qs pulseaudio
local/libcanberra-pulse 0.30-6
PulseAudio plugin for libcanberra
local/pavucontrol 3.0-4
PulseAudio Volume Control
local/pulseaudio 8.0-3
A featureful, general-purpose sound server
local/pulseaudio-alsa 2-3
ALSA Configuration for PulseAudio
local/pulseaudio-jack 8.0-3
Jack support for PulseAudio
')

And alsa too,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -Qs alsa
local/alsa-lib 1.1.1-1
An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
local/alsa-plugins 1.1.1-1
Extra alsa plugins
local/alsa-utils 1.1.1-1
An alternative implementation of Linux sound support
local/pulseaudio-alsa 2-3
ALSA Configuration for PulseAudio
')

Alsamixer shows the card as (with f6) :
- (default)
0 bcm2835 ALSA

How ever, when I open pavcontrol it doesnt show anything except 'Establishing connection to Pulseaudio, Please wait.. '
When I run pulseaudio -v it shows the deamon is already running..

Also the problem with mythtv is still there .. when i run mythfrontend and play tv, it always gives a popup message that 'audio is disabled.'

Anybody can help me debug this ?
