Looking at the ivtv website did say this: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Troubleshooting "Use the recommended firmware * In particular, if you are experiencing sound problems then first make sure you are using the correct audio firmware. It is a known problem with older versions that the audio standard is detected but remains muted. It seems to be fixed with the latest firmware. " How you tell whether the firmware you have is "correct" ? There are some checksums here: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware#Firmware_Checksums (Although I just checked mine, they do not match whats on the website, but they work fine??)
