I'm having the same problem with a pvr-150.  This only happened after I 
added a second pvr-150 to my system.

Both of the above ivtvctl commands *often* fix the problem (actually I 
use -q 0, not -q 1).  As someone else noted, though, the fix is only 
temporary, and it doesn't work 100% of the time.

Another (possibly bigger) complication is that sometimes, if the audio 
is good, issuing either of these commands will trigger the tinny audio. 
  This is too bad because it prevents me from invoking a simple script 
on each channel change (or just brute forcing running it in a cron job 
every 5 seconds or so).  The big issue, for me, is recording things on 
this troublesome card in Mythtv, then not finding out that the audio is 
bad until later when we watch the recorded show.

So I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to detect the tinny audio 
problem without actually having to listen to it?  If there was something 
I could query that would indicate that the audio is in this bad state, 
then I could just issue the ivtvctl commands and test to see if it was 
fixed.

Grasping at straws, and hoping someone else has some ideas!

Cheers,
john
