Have you tried to switch to a different audio stream? i.e. with the "+"
key? We don't try very hard to get the right one in MythTV.

There is also a problem with the ac3 decoder, it sometimes gets in a
funky state. I haven't seen this problem since 0.16, but it used to
be that after a bad packet (due to bad reception) skipping forward
and back would sometimes restore audio. If this is your problem, a
bigger antenna, or better antenna placement may help a great deal.
