Let me guess... The show with the crackling sound is a show with a lot
of dark scenes? If so, you need to enable the setting (that everyone
should have enabled, and that's enabled by default):
Extra audio buffering
Enable this setting if MythTV is playing "crackly" audio. This setting
affects digital tuners (QAM/DVB/ATSC) and hardware encoders. It will
have no effect on framegrabbers (MPEG-4/RTJPEG). MythTV will keep extra
audio data in its internal buffers to workaround this bug.
