Thanks. The problem is that if I disable 'Use Internal Volume Controls' I still can't control the mixer. If I use dev/dsp, changing the mixer levels has no effect. If I use ALSA, I get no sound at all.

I hope you mean you have ALSA drivers installed and have also loaded the
ALSA OSS emulation modules...

Myth can only control Master or PCM controls on the mixer. If your card
uses a different name, Myth can't control volume for you.

In frontend settings, under General settings on page Audio:
Mixer Controls
Changing the volume adjusts the selected mixer.
If you need to control something besides PCM or Mixer, you'll have to
disable Myth's internal volume control:
Use internal volume controls
MythTV can control the PCM and master mixer volume. If you prefer to
use an external mixer program, then disable this option.
and use a script like
