Post subject:  Audio functions not changing the actual volume

I'm having trouble getting sound to work properly on my fresh R5.5 install. I am using a PVR-350 for TV out and for the X server.
Pressing a key to make a change to audio changes what is displayed on the screen: the volume bar goes up and down and an OSD that reads "Mute On" or "Mute Off" appears as appropriate, but this has no effect on the actual volume that I hear.

I don't have "TV audio through PVR-350 only" checked.
I have the PVR-350's audio looped back into the line-in of my sound card. The same physical wiring setup was working correctly when I had R5F27 on this system.

Any ideas?

I figured it out. I had to go to the General/Audio screen in MythFrontend and change the Mixer Controls from PCM to Master.

That's interesting, was it setup this way in R5F27 or ..?

Yes, I'm pretty sure I had to do that in R5F27 too; I had just forgotten.

I just had the same problem. For me I had to change to Master, but I also had to change the mixer.

It was set as default as '/dev/mixer' and I had to change it to 'ALSA:default'.
Thanks for the advice. All good now!
