Hi Duffy,
Sorry it took so long to answer, been away for the weekend with no PC access.. Think the Mr's and kids thought I was going to die when I found my optus wireless didn't work where we were staying
I survive though!

Ah!!! There should be no :/home/dad on there at all. The line should just read:
force group = users

I recovered the image from the backup so as to have a clean install. A few thoughts/issues:
Installed alsamixergui but I don't see how this is any different from alsamixer - it gives no additional functionality or info.
Is there another gui I could try?
By recovering the image I no longer have the updated Linux Drivers. Updated the drivers , but didn't see any difference.
Found the comment below on the ubuntu forums (post number 4: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=874436:
aplay -l shows my two digital devices to be devices 1 and 3, with analog being device 0. Should I be assigning my digital device to device 0? If so, how?
Output form aplay -l:
Code:
dad@myth-frontend:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]

Is it just easier to go a buy a sound card? If yes, which one?

Hmm. Without me being there I really can't tell what's going on. I can't even really think what to try next. That's the sort of thing where I'd just try a dozen different things until I got it to work. The annoying thing is that I know that board does work.
I would probably be inclined to just get a pci soundcard but as to which one I don't know. The soundblaster Audigy series are always well supported but I don't know if you can get one anymore.
This page confirms they are good for Linux. The Audigy 2 ZS is available new on ebay and appears to work fine.
I do have a couple of audigy 1/2 cares here though if you want to try one out and see?
Every board I've tried with onboard audio has worked so far. I think you're having issues because of this HDMI crap that the movie studios and MS have pushed into the PC market.
The other option you could try if you have the time and patience is to post on the myth/u/buntu forums and see if you can get some direct help with your board from someone who has one.
Cheers,
Arkay.
