Since I once tweaked bttv for my card, I'm almost damn sure that this must
be an audio multiplexer (mux) issue. Many TV/tuner cards route their audio
output through incredibly many different types of multiplexer ICs, each
of which requires their own switch mask.
If the mux isn't configured properly, then audio will be switched off
completely except for possibly some very, very silent cross-channel speak.
IOW, you need to examine the driver sources of cx88xx, cx8800, cx88_alsa,
btcx_risc, tveeprom (?) for some multiplexer bit mask and tweak/twiddle that
for your tuner until you manage to hear something properly.
Oh, and:

That module probably has a type= parameter. Experiment with that one until
you possibly even hear something properly, then try to fix type autodetection
for your card.
