<pre wrap="">Found the utility; didn't see anything to configure audio. In
Preferences there is an Audio Device Settings option (a few above the
Raspberry Pi Configuration option) and it has a Sound Card selection,
of which the only option is "bcm2835 ALSA (Alsa mixer) (Default)" All
options turned on and set to 100%.

Oh. <feeling a little bit stupid but learned something><br>
<br>
Selected '2 Force HDMI'; on exit this was displayed:<br>
<br>
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo raspi-config<br>
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='PCM Playback Route'<br>
; type=INTEGER,access=rw------,values=1,min=0,max=2,step=0<br>
: values=2<br>
<br>
No idea if anything potentially significant.<br>
<br>
Did check the audio level -- same as before (sort of figured would
be). <br>
<br>
<br>
Experimentation:<br>
<br>
Monitor has an audio in; plug that into the RPi. Leave RPi
configured for HDMI. ==> No change (audio level same and
variable).<br>
<br>
Try force audio to 3.5mm output. No audio with HDMI selected (at
monitor) but weak audio with VGA selected (at monitor). Not
surprised at needing to select VGA In on monitor but a little
surprised at the weak audio. Starting to think the volume issue is
more with the monitor than the RPi. <br>
<br>
And going back to check the output after changing raspi-config:<br>
When changed to use 3.5mm: values=1<br>
<br>
Just now reset to use both (auto): values=0<br>
Now getting audio via HDMI but not the 3.5mm; not really a concern
for me.<br>
<br>
So I'm thinking the low volume issue is more with the monitor than
the RPi/MythTV. ...Specs on the monitor's speakers: 1W / ch.
Almost betting that's the issue!<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for pointing me to the right place in raspi-config!<br>
<br>
