You don't really give enough information in your original post.

I'm a MythTV n00b - with no hands-on experience myself - but the  
question that leaps out at me is "how is sound _configured_ in Myth?"

"alsa" is the name for a Linux sound subsystem - one of the, the most  
recent or the best, or something. Searching the list for previous  
mentions of it returns loads of results - I can't say any or all of  
them will describe the exact same problem as yours, but maybe if you  
read a few of them you'll get some ideas. <http://tinyurl.com/2aykyz>

There are also a number of pages on the wiki:

Saying "I've reinstalled my o/s four times" does express your  
frustration at your problems, but it doesn't inform anyone enough to  
help you. Hopefully the links I've posted will allow you to repost  
saying "I've tried this setting in Myth, and `cat /proc/soundcard`  
shows that". You should be able to post some lines from your system's  
logfiles which mention sound - either from /var/log/messages, /var/ 
log/syslog, /var/log/mythtv or by running MythTV from the command  
line with the verbose options.
