Hi Jim, Thank you very, very much! I was under the impression that I *was* running the latest firmware! That's what I get for assuming. ;-)
Once I swapped in the revision you mentioned, my tinny audio disappeared! (Thanks also to John B who also replied just a few minutes ago) Thanks again for your help, Jim.

The toggling of good and bad audio was unpredictable, probably about 10% or less of the time in my case. It was resolved for me in this thread on the devel list: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/28703 In my case, two things were necessary to fix it: - the fix available in ivtv 0.4.5 - the latest beta firmware for the cx25840 chip One or the other of those alone did not fix it. BOTH were necessary. I think mine may be an isolated (lucky) case, because several other people have reported that they still have the problem. I can report that I have been completely free of tinny audio for about a month. My stable and working system is: PVR-500, Debian stable, kernel 2.6.15.1, ivtv 0.4.5, mythtv 0.19 Are you using the latest firmware? Your log should have something like this: cx25840 1-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (16382 bytes) If it says something other than "16382 bytes", then you are not using the latest HcwMakoC.ROM. Although I never comfirmed how necessary it was, I was extra careful to do a complete power down to "reset" the pvr card after the new firmware was loaded the first time.
