Yes its a known fault. if you cannot upgrade, try setting the audio sourc=
e
like this:

/usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -q2

I have the following script running as a cron job every minute, it runs
the above every 5 seconds.

#!/bin/bash

for delay in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11;

do
/usr/local/bin/ivtvctl -q2 > /dev/null
#logger fixed
sleep 5
done;


NB ivtvctl is no longer used, its now v4l2ctl or somesuch.
