I have been having issues with the sound in "My TV" using mediaportal. Whenever I start up mediaportal's MyTV the sound works for a few seconds then starts to jump and sound crackly untill finally the sound stops. Turning the TV off and on again starts the sound, bit it fails again after a few seconds.

I have discovered (after having similar issues with old video games I half expected it) that setting the affinity of the mediaportal process to run on only one processor core before starting teh "MyTV" application solves this issue.

Is it possible to allow media portal to run on both cores? This would allow better performance in my setup.

This would allow better performance in my setup.

How would it improve the performance?

To fix the problems your having, you need to install the AMD dualcore optimiser, and this will fix your troubles in Media Portal and certain games.. i've had the same troubles in the past..
