I'm DYING!  Finally got my PVR-500 in, and now I can't get freaking
sound to record...  :(

I did an amixer output in case anyone wants to try and help with this.
The strange thing is DVD playback gives sound.  Recordings don't get any
sound (played files on other PCs), and LiveTV has no sound.  Almost
EVERYTHING on the KMix is enabled and turned on, etc...
