[mythtv-users] Volume setting has no effect (PVR-350)

[Didde Brockman]

No, I cannot get Myth to mute when I press that button. It responds 
through the OSD but the audio is not altered.

Is Isaac correct in stating that we _have_ to loop the PVR-350's audio 
to the computer's soundcard? This seems very odd. I must have missed 
this in the documentation and how-to's.



Kindly,
Didde
