Have you converted your MIBs to python modules correctly (as per the docs) ?

Yes. Converted MIBs to python modules as per your instructions, (Rx8000-AUDIO.mib.py, Rx8000_base.mib.py, RX8000-BASE.mib.py and Rx8000-VIDEO.mib.py) placed in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/snmp_ta/bin/mibs directory

If your raw mib is named Rx8000-AUDIO.mib , then this should be output to Rx8000-AUDIO.py, placed in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/snmp_ta/bin/mibs , and then in the config be specified as Rx8000-AUDIO

Try that.

you probably want to show your input stanza... it will be in inputs.conf and start something like this:
[snmp://nameofyourinput]

With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!
