Can you check whether the sound is amiss during the capturing or the
playback? E.g. instead of live tv schedule a recording and check on
another known to work system whether the recording has sound.

Other checks you can perform are running mplayer on a known media and
see whether mplayer & alsa (playback) work. Also try manually to
perform a capture from your card to outrule any mythtv issues.

There is alsamixer and alsaunmute, did you try these?
