I kept the volume for the Mater and the PCM at the level they were (I was 
listening to a  radio station with xine) and I used TvTime to watch TV. I can 
barely hear a sound, there are two people talking. I then run alsamixer (I do 
not have aumix), and the only way to make their  conversation audible is to 
turn up the Mater volume or the PCM volume.
BTW, the line in volume  is 100%.
