That rings a bell with me - on my old bt878 WinTV card I had to do the
following because xawtv used to mute the bloody card on exit and Mythtv
assumes its never muted... gggrrrrrrr

/usr/bin/v4lctl -c /dev/video0 volume mute off

was the magic incantation - I hope it casts the right spell for you as
well...
