I've got the same problem, and I always have to execute an "ivtvctl -q"
command to recover it. It gets associated with the wrong audio input. I
still have ivtv-0.3.7a, and my understanding is that this particular
problem is fixed in later versions of the driver, but I haven't had time
to try upgrading yet. It hurts the WAF though when her favorite sci-fi
shows are missed due to lack of sound in the recording )-: so I will
probably get around to upgrading eventually.

I used to have a command "ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 1" in my rc.local
script, and for a while that worked, but now every time the system is
rebooted, one of the tuners comes up without sound, and I have to poke
around with ivtvctl commands manually to restore it.
