Probably. I can't be certain from what you wrote, but I suspect you need to 
switch to ALSA. Myth itself does not need ALSA (in fact, it uses the OSS 
emulators in ALSA), but some sound hardware does need ALSA to work properly 
for audio recording in Myth (and I think elsewhere).

One way to check this -- when you "watch live tv fine with video/sound", is 
the cound properly sync'ed to the video? Or is there a slight lag (easiest 
to spot in "talking heads" video)? If the second, you almost surely need to 
switch to ALSA.
