[mythtv-users] Sound Problem - Any Help Appreciated (A Little OT, but not much)

Had the same problem with the live 5.1 I never found the solution,
decided to put my myth box on hold for a while and just monitor the
mailing list before and save up some money before I take it for a spin.

When I would initially set up my system, my mixer had an "o-Gain" slider
that would allow me to get sound... but as soon as I installed the
latest alsa, this slider disappeared and all I would get is EXTREMELY
low volume (to the point that the system volume and the speaker volume
were maxed and I could just barely hear it) 

I'll keep an eye on this thread, I hope someone has a simple solution
for us ;-)
