MythTV is likely using the ALSA mixer (set as 'default' ) to control
your audio. MythMusic uses OSS and so could be using a different
control that the ALSA mixer does not control (if using ALSA with
OSS-emulation. I use SPDIF-out so don't have this problem, but seem to
recall a similar post a few weeks back.
