My guess is that your DVB card is recording several soundtracks,
including at least one that is blank.  For some reason your local
frontend is selecting the blank one by default, while the remote
frontend manages to find the correct one.

You could try cycling through the available soundtracks on the
mythfronend to see if this is the case (can't remember the key to
press offhand).

I had problems with losing sound, or getting wrong soundtrack. 
Switching from PS to TS recording fixed this for me.  In mythtvsetup I
think.
