[mythtv] SB Live! Mixer Settings Problem

[Matthew Schulkind]

I seem to have figured out my problem. There are two mixer settings in 
alsamixer call AC97 and AC97 Capture. I think these have to do with the 
internal routing of the sound on the card. the AC97 mixer controls the 
loopback volue, and the AC97 Capture controls the capture value. I 
believe the Line settings and Capture settings may also play a role, but 
those were the ones that worked for me.
