Audio for VLC, Dragon Player, Kaffeine, Amarok, Audacious2, Firefox, and everything else I've found is fine, however, MythTV requires that I crank the audio at the amplifier to near 100% to get an acceptable level on any media of any type.

Everything works in terms of the volume and mute controls in MythTV -- I just can't get suitable amplitude out of the system even with the volume in MythTV cranked to 100%. I believe this to be a MythTV issue because everything else works just fine.

Yup, been through alsamixer, alsactl and they work just fine.  All those 
relevant channels are maxed out.
