I just want to confirm that I have the same problem on Debian.  It
works perfectly with the regular Debian 2.6.32 kernel with the 1.4.1
ivtv driver but is unusable with the 2.6.37-rc7 kernel in
Debian/experimental.  I ran ivtvctl -a on both kernels and diffed
them:

mythtered% diff ivtv.out-2.6.32 ivtv.out

Messing with the volume doesn't make any difference for audio quality.
 I don't know what the "Loudness = 1" setting means or how to modify
it.

I also tried disconnecting the audio input to the card so it should
have been recording only silence, but the loud hiss was still there.

I'll try to investigate this further soon.
