The left and right arrow keys should indeed bring up finetune. On most sound chips/cards the mic input is modified, better is to use line or cd to start testing. Tvtime has an option --mixer=/dev/mixerX:line ... mic,cd or whatever. You can set it in tvtime.xml (/usr/local/etc/tvtime?) as default. Tvtime also attempts to set the audio volume on the card itself to 95% on startup, because some apps seem to set it to zero on exit. You can look for that with v4l-info. VIDEOCGAUDIO volume is expected to be 58982. And then .tvtime configs have changed again, so in case you have an old folder there, you might let tvtime create a new one. (As I understand even the released 2.6.0 needs at least the 19_videodev patch, if you want to use latest drivers and there may be implications using OSS, alsa_oss and btaudio at once.)
