Still not working, even when changing audio channels.  "Tuner Audio In" is 
Input 0, so I need "ivtvctl -d /dev/video1 -q 0.
I upgraded to kernel 2.6.15.1 + ivtv 0.4.2 so only module ivtv is from ivtv, 
the rest is form the kernel.  Still not working.

Help :(
My last option is swapping the PVR500 for the software based capture card I 
had before :(

Has anyone an idea why changing channels can enable sound?  What exactly 
happens when you change the channel ?
