</div>Tinny audio is an annoying IVTV driver bug that's been around and back<br>
again for ages. I've seen it on three out of four systems myself at<br>
varying rates of intermittent-ness and frequency which also changes with<br>
kernel versions. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was this.<br></blockquote><div><br>It's possible though it's a lot worse than just "tinny". I don't upgrade my kernel very often and I'm pretty sure it's gotten worse between upgrades.<br>
<br>The card is at least 5 years old and IIRC I might have picked it up second hand even then. The system had heat issues for a while too.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Steve<br></div></div>
