Why can't I hear sound for WFAA channel 8 news?

Question

I have a Hauppauge 1800 digital tuner in my computer that is connected to my television. I use Media Center to watch television. Whenever the news comes on channel 8 in Dallas the sound gets real low to the point to can't hear it. I know as soon as they are fixing to go to commercial because the sound will suddenly come back up. Its only when there is some sort of news about to come on. It makes me feel like I am going deaf. Does anyone have any useful suggestions?

Hi guruMama,

I have the same problem in Chattanooga with several daytime shows. I have to turn the volume way up to hear the show then keep my finger on the volume button or the commercial will blow out the walls.

I have no idea what causes it but I have been thinking about buying a device that claims to fix it. I haven't made up my mind yet but you can view it here - http://www.smarthome.com/7848t.html?src=...
