1. Have you tried hitting mute (A in xawtv)?  Often the mute on/off can
get flipped around, and so mute is on, on is off.

2. Have you tried messing around with the insmod options for the bttv
module?  I had to try a fair few settings for the card option (largely as
I have a rarer card), but I found one which worked perfectly for me,
whereas before I had no sound.
