Jamie, i found this without too much problem by googling, not sure if you have tried it:
"I could get sound to my Pinnacle PCTV Stereo card (driver saa7134) when I added "options tda9887 qss=0" to my /etc/modprobe.conf file as suggested in some other discussion thread, restarted my PC, and checked and unchecked Channel Management -> Use PAL-DK audio decoding in tvtime application. I was having "audio carrier scan failed" lines in /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg. I have Fedora Core 3 with 2.6.9 kernel.
