DO you know where this is - I can't find it ? Bear in mind I'm still on the rather old 0.24.

It does indeed.
But I have fixed it. I'm not using the tuners - I should really have just pulled them out but the box is now buried in the bottom of the stack with DVD player, VCR, and TV sat on top ! I added "options cx23885 index=-2" to modprobe config and I now have working sound :-)
I'm considered a linux "expert" at work - but all I manage are headless systems - these two Myth frontends are the only "desktops" I use. So aspects like sound handling are something of a foreign land !
