I have the same card.  On occasion, the audio fails on the analog
tuner connected to my cable box.  Please see:

In my case, an analog recording treats me to (hard to put in text) a
1/4 second zzzzzzzip every 2 seconds.  I'm making the times up, but
they're in the ballpark.  I'd estimate this has happened 3 times this
year.

I use the digital tuner for over-the-air ATSC recording, which is
usually good. Pixelization happens mostly on CBS (RF channel 12,
last time I looked.)
