Scot,

Any luck on fixing this?  I have the same problem:

Changed /dev/dsp to ALSA:default and then myth gives an error with
/dev/mixer (set in the lower part of the screen) same as your error. 
Tried to change /dev/mixer to ALSA:default as well and it didn't like
that either.

Any ideas on how to fix this (I have the same problem that using
/dev/dsp, when changing channels, the sound disappears and the video
gets choppy.  Exiting live tv and reentering fixes the problem).

Thanks,
phlepper
