<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">>Is there any where else I can play with the sound levels? I<BR>
>saw somewhere in the MythTV configs a setting for recording volume but<BR>
>I believe it was already at 90% by default. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Load up alsamixer and and look for channels called VIA DXS. If you push the volume up on those (you may need only the first one) that should help.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If you want to store the settings I do this:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">/usr/sbin/alsactl -f ~mythtv/mixer.cnf store</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I then have a script like</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#!/bin/bash</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">/usr/sbin/alsactl -f ~mythtv/mixer.cnf restore</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Which I drop in ~mythtv/.kde/Autostart/ which means it gets called when the mythtv user logs in. You could just call it from /etc/rc.local I guess.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">HTH</FONT>
