There are a number of (fairly recent) messages on this list about the
sound issues with ivtv 4.1. Those emails recommend moving the version of
msp3400 from wherever to the kernel/../media/video directory. It's not
clear your message whether you moved the msp3400-ivtv to msp3400. You
need to do that. 

Alternatively, you can add the following line to your modprobe.conf:
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv

This did the trick for me as opposed to moving and renaming files.

HTH,
