For me it's definitely card specific. I have 2xPVR250's and 1 PVR150, 
and the 150 is much lower than the 250's. I did experiment with manually 
changing the volume while recording using ivtvctl, and it did fix it, 
the problem is that Myth resets the volume for every recording. I had a 
cron that raised the volume every few minutes, but that just resulted in 
some recordings having continuous volume changes. I wish I knew C enough 
to go in and add a per card volume setting. Heck, I'd just hard code it 
in my own tree if I had to.
