Thats a general problem of any card with XC2028 silicon tuner, user
(tv app) has to specify a precise substandard (audio carrier frequency)
for sound to work.

PAL-BG users (western europe, etc) won't notice it, since in case of 
generic PAL standard set, xceive tuner defaults to BG substandard firmware.

In other cases, you either have to specify correct standard (DK, etc) or
try to specify PAL-I, which seems to work for BG, DK and I carriers.
At least it works for me :)
