[mythtv] Mandrake 9 -- Help with ALSA -- More Detailed

[Roberto C. Serrano]

Have you installed the alsa utils? I so...try the alsamixer...I had to play 
with a couple of channels that were turned off that only were visible with 
the alsamixer.

I hope that helps...(by the way you might want to try to plugg it to the 
Mic...just for the heck of it.)

Roberto
