Oh ok, I didn't know you could change the volume with that patch. I thought it was some fixed value. I tried changing it using ivtvctl, and it's much better. A value of around 53000 seems to bring it close to my 350's volume, but I haven't spent a ton of time trying to get it close. The problem is Myth resets the volume after switching the tuners, so it's always going to go right back to the high volume again. Is there a way around this? It seems that for a specific volume that myth sets, the 150 needs to be set at a lower number that corresponds to what it would be for the 250/350 cards. Thanks for this patch though, at least it's controllable now. ~Lou
