Problem with recorded TV or re-starting from pause (1 Viewer)

[Mervyn]

Hi,
Please forgive me as I am brand new to all this and am knocking on in years (actually a pensioner) so what I am doing or not! may seem silly.

I downloaded and installed MediaPortel today and everything is ok apart from this problem.
If I pause whilst watching a recorded tv program and then restart the viewing the playback starts fine apart from the fact that the sound has gone. To get the sound back I then have to start viewing the recording from the beginning again.

This also happens sometimes when I have paused live tv and then forward say through the adverts. The sound again sometimes disappeared.

My system information is as follows:

Hello and welcome! =)

Which audio decoder do you use? (MP Config -> Codecs and Renderer -> Tab TV Codecs (these are the codecs which are used for LiveTV & Recordings)

Maybe try a different one and check if the problem is still there.
Thanks!

Thanks for that. I will have a fumble around with it later as "her who must be obeyed" is on the Desktop!! Whilst she is there she is leaving me alone
