Hi,

I used the myth-FAQ while getting my Hauppauge PVR 350 to work, and 
there was a bug in it. The msp3400, saa7115 and tuner modules got loaded 
*after* the ivtv module instead of *before*, as is required and stated 
in the IVTV FAQ.

The consequence was, that sound only worked on my PVR 350 after this 
incantation:
$ modprobe ivtv
$ rmmod ivtv
$ modprobe ivtv
which took my quite a while to discover... How the existing version 
could ever have worked for anyone is a mystery to me.

So anyway, here is a patch for myth-FAQ-19.html. I also included an 
extention of the provided-as-is note that also points to and suggests 
the IVTV FAQ as the primary reference (in caps as the existing 
provided-as-is note).
