Do a web search on "pvr-150 tinny audio" and you'll see plenty of discussion
over the last few years.  The summary is that for many people who record
using a direct input (not the coax input), in about 50% of their recordings,
the audio is apparently being encoded by the card at very low bandwidth, and
ends up sounding tinny or buzzy.  No one seems to know the root cause, but
various workarounds are given to nudge the card into the right mode during
capture.
