[mythtv-users] PVR-500: problems with sound

Hi,

I searched the mythtv and ivtv archives, but couldn't find an answer.

I have a brand new PVR-500 that's working like it should be, execept that the 
first time I tune to a channel, I have no sound :(  After changing to a 
another channel, sound is working like it should be and keeps working like it 
shoud be.  Idem for recordings, no sound.

After a reboot, the first time I go in live-tv, I only get static.  After 
that, when I go to live-tv, I get a channel but no sound.  So it looks that 
the first tuning attempt produces no sound and that changing channels fixes 
this.

Strange thing is that sometimes, I get sound.  I played with it tonight: I 
rebooted the box, unloaded and reloaded modules, ... and sometimes I got 
sound on my first tune attempt.  The problem is I don't know what exactly I 
when it worked, it seems random to me :(

I don't think I made an error configuring everything.
More info: ivtv 0.4.2 (loading fine, no errors in dmes), custom kernel, 
dedicated backend, debian, mythtv 18.1, recording is fine using a software 
based card, ... plz ask for more info if you want.

If no one can help, I will post this to the ivtv mailing list.
