I've had the problem with no sound on tuner #0, and (occasionally noisy
and scratchy) sound on tuner #1 and none of the suggested patches
working.

But I have it fixed now by doing

   ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -q 1
   ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 1

I found this option last night by accident. 

(Scott Harris wrote in

that he found the same solution for his 350.)

I've tabulated my results below. 

mplayer /dev/video0:
     ivctl -q 0  => silence 
           -q 1  => perfect sound
           -q 2  => silence 
           -q 3  => weaker sound from tv channel on tuner #1 
                    (changes with "ptune.pl -d /dev/video1 -c <channel>")
           -q 4  => silence

mplayer /dev/video1:
      ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 0 => sound, 
                                     scratchy with "options tda9887 qss=0",
                                     not scratchy with "options tda9887 qss=1"
                             -q 1 => perfect sound
                             -q 2 => silence
                             -q 3 => sometimes sound from tv channel on tuner 
#0, 
                                     reproducible by doing:
                                     ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -q 4
                                     ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 3
                                     ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -q 0
                             -q 4 => silence



Driver is unpatched 0.3.7a, on SuSE 9.3, latest Hauppauge firmware
(mce_cd_v25.zip).

Hauppauge model = 23559, rev = D291

my /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv (I copy the ivtv *.ko files to the filenames of
the SuSE installation; this may not be appropriate for you)
============================================================
# ivtv (PVR-500MCE)
# PAL config
# rhs of alias are the SuSE names of *.ko files
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
alias tveeprom ivtv-tveeprom
alias tuner ivtv-tuner
alias msp3400 ivtv-msp3400

# No options are needed for ivtv modules, 
# but ivtvctl -d /dev/videoX -q 1
# is required to enable sound after modules are loaded

============================================================

Cheers,
Erik
