Kyle, I've dealt with a lot of what you are going through with my PVR 500 card. First thing you need to do is upgrade your firmware. It appears by the size of your firmware that you are using the old version (Which did have a problem of this nature). You can get the new version at ftp://ftp.hauppauge.com/Support/PVR150/Beta/amity24073.prerelease.zip . Just download that file and look for the HcwMakoC.ROM file. Copy this over your v4l-cx25840.fw file and reload ivtv (You can do this with rmmod, but a more simple way would be rebooting your linux box).
After you've done that, if you still have problems, upgrade your firmware. The Changelog for version 4.5 mentions something of the nature of the problem you are having. Admittedly it is possible that you may have problems after that (I'm still having some problems and may upgrade my kernel to 2.6.16+ and try IVTV version .6.2), then read go to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_PVR-500#No_sound_on_first_recording . They have written a script that may help remedy your problem. Hope this helps. Jonathan > I recently purchased a Hauppauge pvr-150 tuner card.
