Seems like you're using spdif output, so using myth's internal volume
control is moot (I use spdif out and just turn this setting off in the
mythtv setup, or else I get errors like what you're seeing).  Or make
sure you have alsa's oss emulation modules loaded.

I had this problem when I first upgraded, but I couldn't recall what
voodoo I used to fix it - IIRC, I restarted both the backend and the
frontend, and all was good.  If that doesn't work, you could also try
reloading the ivtv modules...
