[mythtv-users] PVR350 Audio problems . . sigh

I started out about a year ago trying to set up Mythtv.
This is my story . . . .

I bought a PVR-350 and tried it out on my main desktop setting up Knoppmyth
on a partition on an old 40Gb disk that was lying around).  This went
reasonably well although I had a lot of trouble setting up the UK tv
grabber.  After many abortive attempts, the Knoppmyth hard disk failed, so I
tried again under Gentoo (my main distro).  Again I got pretty close to
where I wanted to be, but a different set of problems (2.6.4 and lirc didnt
seem to be compatible).  Anyway, I got some TV shows successfully recorded,
and even got myth through TV-Out onto the TV screen.

Wife started complaining at the delay and mess in the living room, so I
decided to buy exactly the right kit for use with Jarod's guide.

My kit is:

Pundit-R and onboard ethernet, sound and graphics
Capture card PVR-350
DVD: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R1002, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Fedora Core 3 2.6.9-1.681_FC3

Install went as planned using the Jarod guide, until I got to setting up the
PVR-350.
Unfortunately I can capture live TV with good video, but no sound.
I can play MP3s, DVDs even the old Mythtv recorded .nuv files all with full
sound and vision, but sound capture no longer works.

I have tried apt-get remove ivtv and reinstalled
I removed all mention of msp3400.ko and copied the msp3400-ivtv.ko to the
updates and kernel folders

I have depmodded and rebooted in all possible combinations of the above.

my msp3400.ko is here:

/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.681_FC3/kernel/drivers/media/video/msp3400.ko
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 29364 Jan  2 11:11

Has anyone got any ideas what to try next?

Any more diagnostic info to give me a clue as to what is wrong?

Oh yes, I tried compiling the latest ivtv-0.3.2a drivers but it made no
difference.

Could I be doing something really dumb?
