I have the same problem, and I have done the same things, all my devices
are set to /dev/dsp and I still can't hear the sound in
mythtv. Permissions are ok and my mixer is set to:

$ amixer set Master,0 100%,100% unmute
$ amixer set PCM,0 100%,100% unmute
$ amixer set CD,0 75%,75% mute captur <-- NOTE The CD
$ amixer set Capture,0 100%,100% captur
$ su
# alsactl store
# exit
$ 

Any idea?
