I have a problem receiving audio on some channels with my PVR-150. Some channels work, others don't work at all, and for some channels it takes a few seconds for the audio to "kick in". By looking at the archives to this list, I found a solution that does restore the audio: ivtvctl -g reg=0x808,val=0x1f. The problem is that the register gets trashed again when I change channels so the command has to be reissued. Since I'm using Mythtv, I figured I'd write a script to automate the process:

#!/bin/bash

ivtv-tune -c $1
ivtvctl -g reg=0x808,val=0x1f

The script runs just fine and changes channels, however the audio still doesn't work. If I run the script from an ssh session on another computer while Mythtv is running then it changes channels and the audio works as well. The only thing I can think of is that Mythtv is doing something to trash that register after my "fix" has been executed. The question is, what would cause that? I've read that it was a hardware bug with the tuner but what could cause that register to corrupt?

Thanks,
Shawn
