Well, I checked the STB, and its volume was at 70, so I upped it to  
100. That did make a big difference, but I also went back and checked  
the older recordings. They had *also* increased in volume. I'm  
scratching my head here, because I didn't touch any settings on the  
myth box. Very weird -- but good. I'll leave it alone until a few new  
recordings are done and then check again to see if my problems have  
been resolved.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
