You might try re-compiling and making Myth with the audio features
explicitly enabled. Edit the configure file or pass it a command line like
./configure --enable-alsa --enable-arts --enable-jack etc.
My first pass at compiling failed with an error about jack when jack was
"-disable-jack"d in the configure. When I enabled it, it compiled. Maybe
it is in fact not being enabled . You can also explicitly edit the
configure file to force inclusion, if you wish to live dangerously....
