I've seen the no sound problem on the windows side and just use Media
Player Classic...
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303
...never had a problem since.

When converting some shows using nuvexport with mencoder I
occasionally get the no sound problem as well. In those situations I
just switch to using ffmpeg instead (resulting files are often quite a
bit bigger, but the sound is always there).
