Don, Is your firmware the latest available? Read http://www.ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/2006-May/002723.html for how to upgrade to the latest firmware available. I'm pretty sure you are running an older version, because ivtvctl -q 1 breaks the sound. I think I've heard with the newest versions that it always fixes it. It might not be a bad idea to post dmesg's IVTV output here as well.
