So, you've got a problem with your sound card/drivers.  I doubt that it's 
anything in mythtv.  Try changing the sound card driver (kernel->ALSA or 
ALSA->kernel) and/or change around the sampling rate, etc.

Many of the options in the GUI setup do not yet take affect until after a 
restart, and I think some of them aren't even used yet.  That'll all change 
soonish, though.
