Yep fix the audio - then your black screen of death will go away.<br>
<br>
I had the same problem.<br>
<br>
Go into setup general then the audio pages, at the top there is an item scan for<br>
audio devices. do that. then choose your audio device in the next box.<br>

Who would have thought.<br></blockquote><div><br>In fairness they did mention it on the release notes <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_0.24#Special_Notices_.26_Instructions">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_0.24#Special_Notices_.26_Instructions</a> and <a href="http://mythbuntu.org/mythtv/0.24">http://mythbuntu.org/mythtv/0.24</a> in the Known issues section. But good to know for those of us looking to upgrade soon! :)<br>
