I had a similar, but different problem. I had both video tuners working, but
would only capture sound on the first tuner for some reason. Doh!
Anyways, I more or less followed this guide:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4704&highlight=pvr+500
It's a little bit dated, but still very helpful. At first I followed the
directions but instead of using the ivtv version 0.3.5f drivers I used a newer
one (I don't remember which). This resulted in the no-sound-on-tuner-2 problem
(I can't remember what exactly the problem was, but I BELIEVE it had something
to do with firmware not being loaded properly). I then started over using
0.3.5f and I haven't had much trouble since then.
