Hello Mathieu,

it is: some channels only have the picture (good quality), but no sound.*

Trying "v4lctl volume mute off" "v4lctl volume mute on" "v4lctl volume 
mute off" (= toggling around) doesn't change, but

change channel to working channel and "toggling" around with the v4lctl 
volume mute off[/on] does sometimes help.
I am sorry I have so much info for "reproduction".
This phenomenon is true for kdetv as well as for tvtime.

kind regards,
