Sorry.  Couldn't figure that out from what was left in the reply to 
which I responded.

So, did you check the box:

TV audio through PVR-350 only
Normally, PVR-350 audio is looped into a sound card; here you can 
indicate when that is not the case. MythTV cannot control TV volume when 
this option is checked.
