Hi,

I initially had audio problems in MythTV that were later resolved at
the end of July with this patch.

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/6fc3c82281f3

But with the latest driver I'm have a different audio problem - no
audio at all except for the occasional screech. System sounds still
work fine so I've ruled out sound card problems.

I'm using the analog tuner on Ubuntu Hardy with the Intrepid ivtv
package on an AMD64 Opteron with 4G RAM.

Here's some system info:

$ ivtvctl  --version

The odd thing from this status is that the audio is muted and it stays
muted even when I run  v4l2-ctl -c mute=0.
