[mythtv-users] HDHR recording with too low volume playback

Hi,
I'm noticing the shows recorded with my hdhr have very low volumes. I
don't recall this being noticable with the 20-fixes branch, but I am
noticing it now with SVN trunk. This could just be a coincidence. I am
using ALSA.
I've tried a bunch of adjustments from within myth as well as upping the
mixer settings on everything I can get my hands on. Unfortunately, no
real improvement. My mythbox is using the onboard soundcard connected
via RCA jacks to my tv.
For fun, I turned on the AAC3 (or whatever) to SPDIF passthrough but I
just get clicks and noises. I'm not really sure what it's supposed to
do so I unchecked it. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm including some output which will hopefully be helpful (from a
soundcard level).
Myth output device: /dev/dsp
All passthroughs turned off.
Myth controling mixer doesn't do anything useful with this problem.
