[mythtv-users] Sound problems w/ mythtv 0.18.1

[Pascal Favre]

Hello
I tried the same a couple of weeks ago (18.0) and tried it out today (18.1). I experience the same problems. 
I have a Intel 82801DB-ICH4.
I used the HOW-TO "7.2 Setting the mixer from the command line".

Is it normal that the television still produces sound although the option "TV-Audio through PVR-350 only" is unset ?

Sound is coming through Line-in. But no sound is routed to the speakers. Any further ideas ?
