Hi,
I installed the MythTV .24 through the Mythbuntu PPA.  I installed the
alsa 1.0.24 update with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Then using synaptic, I found the linux-alsa-driver-modules for the
release(ubuntu -r) I am currently using.

Here's a website that goes into a lot more detail.

Once you have alsa 1.0.24 and Mythtv .24, when you are in the sound
settings of myth (sound\general\audo system), you can click the "scan
for audio devices".  From there, I select the
ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia_1,DEV=3.

Chris.
