I use pulse audio with myth. It works just fine, and I like it.It allows me
to control my two
sound cards very easily.

What I am saying is that you do not need to uninstall anything to turn pulse
audio off.
Think of it as a path that alsa sends the sound before it reaches the sound
card.
You can just choose another path. It is like compiz/beryl for video. You can
use it or not.

I did not understand if you do not have sound at all, or just can not hear
it on your Onkio
amplifier.

Alsa is not easy to configure. If it works out-of-the-box, great. Otherwise,
you will have to look for a solution. The first attempt is always upgrading
to the newest version,
presently 1.0.18.
