I'm getting the impression that it is not too difficult for someone to find the cause. Especially if switching input fixes the problem. The datasheet of the cx25840 is available here: http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/datasheets/video/ Only a few registers are changed by switching inputs, so it cannot be too difficult to find it. I personally have never noticed it, and I unfortunately do not have the time to investigate either. So I'm hoping someone can step in and try to find the cause. I'm willing to help with tips and advice and such. The easiest way to start would be to add debug messages in the places where registers are set (cx25840_write and cx25840_write4) and see which regs turn up when you switch inputs to fix the tinny audio. Then check the datasheet to see what those registers actually do.
