<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When I first installed my PVR-150, everyone was more or less good to go. I noticed that during playback my recordings would have a noticeable hissing sound that I couldn't figure out how to get rid of. After a couple of days googling, I figured out that the problem was that Myth was resetting any volume settings I had set for the PVR-150, (v4l2-ctl –set-ctrl=volume=63500), and using one much lower. Once I started recording I would run v4l2-ctl –set-ctrl=volume=63500 and everything would be fine with that specific recording. Audio playback was great. No more noticeable hissing until Myth tried to recording something else when it would reset the volume again.</FONT></P>
