Re: New User hardware recommendations

Anything* BT878 works well. For 4 channels, get a card with 4 BT878 chips on it - one chip per video channel. For not a lot more money it will be vastly easier to get watchable video on it.

Also check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if theres any hint there.

browser - no sound

Hi folks. Running 1.23.3 on Ubuntu from the repository, and I have no sound working on the client browser. Everything else works great. It did work fine and suddenly quit, so I wonder if I modified something and stuffed it. This is my first post, so I'd also like to say hi, and thanks to the movers ...
