[mythtv-users] audio problem

I've been using alsamixer; I'll keep playing with the mixer settings to
see if I can resolve this.  I actually have 2 sound devices in my
machine: SB Live and on-board audio (Intel 810).  I've been trying to
use the SB Live up to this point, but I'll probably experiment with the
other as well.
