there are 2 ways you can do it;<BR>
permanently- vi your ~/.xawtv file with the "mov-rate = 48000" in the [global] section<BR>
temporarily- from within your xawtv session, right click the screen, click record movie, then click on sample rate to change your choice (doesnt look like a button but it is)<BR>
Here is a copy of my .xawtv file, it works perfectly, still gotta play with the fps and video formats, my movies seem way bigger per length than the usual porno's lol<BR>
<BR>
[global]<BR>
freqtab = us-cable<BR>
keypad-ntsc = on<BR>
fullscreen = 1024 x 768<BR>
input = Television<BR>
mixer = line<BR>
mov-driver = avi<BR>
mov-video = mjpeg<BR>
mov-audio = stereo<BR>
mov-rate = 48000<BR>
<BR>
[defaults]<BR>
norm = ntsc<BR>
audio = stereo<BR>
capture = grabdisplay<BR>

This is on a RedHat 9 box and I compiled alsa (as I always do) using alsa 0.9.4. In doing this, I have been able to get ANY sound card working great, whether onboard or not. First trouble I have ever seen has been with this recording.<BR>
I did try all that you suggested already except possibly the.......... HOLD ON<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
As I was writing this, I tried your suggestion about the rate and changed it to 48000 (was on 44100 before). That was the trick!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds fantastic now!!!!<BR>
Thanks Mark and Dave!!!!<BR>
<BR>
p.s. Mark if you want to know my routine for the ALSA stuff, let me know, it has yet to let me down!<BR>

One other question with this,<BR>
I can record from the tuner card into an avi file and the video and sound work now but there is alot of noise on the sound, really annoying interference noise. I have tried all sorts of sound formats, 8bit mono, 16bit mono, stereo, nothing seems to change the sound quality, but the files size change so it must be changing the sound format. After alot of trial and error, I found that it will not record sound with igain muted and it will not play sound via mplayer with pcm muted (i did see that mplayer uses pcm as it's output so that is understandable) but I dont understand this igain. I have tried lowering the volumes to help but the noise is unchanged. Any ideas on this interference noise?<BR>
btw, this is using onboard sound (via8233) with ALSA.<BR>
I know about using onboard anything but all the mb's today come with sound and using ALSA, they have been working flawlessly <BR>
