Use "plughw:0,3" instead of "hw:0,3".

What is the difference?

Plughw automatically converts to a sample format that the device supports.

And why did hw:0,3 work before?

Probably your old hardware did support mono playback.

If I want to use it in Myth, would it be ALSA:plughw:0,3 then?

Yes. (It is possible that Myth can do resampling and channel rerouting by itself; in this case, hw would also work.)
