In the screen shot you showed it also had a selector for the number of
channels, which was set to 2 channels. Try toggling that and see if it
improves. Also, there is a command-line tool for alsa called speaker-test
which can help test your setup independent of MythTV. Try it with
"speaker-test -c 6" (the 6 is to indicate 6 channels). You may also have to
specify the device with -D.
