I have both the 9D version and the 9F(newest) version of this card and I 
am having the same probelm. I have hacked the bttv drivers and that 
fixed the audio.  Unfortunately, I have troubles with the svideo input. 
  The sound works but the picture starts (will change back when I switch 
the input) dark, very dark.  If you want to hack you bttv driver here is 
what I did.

I downloaded the newest driver ( I think it was the same driver as my 
kernel had (FC2))

I changed the pvb???????? function (sorry I am not at my mythbox now but 
it is the only audio_hook that starts with pvb)  I made it return 
nothing (do nothing) in the if (set) {} portion.  Audio worked after that.

If anyone has had any luck with the svideo port let me know.
