60% Signal, 100% Quality - some channels not working

Hi,
I've got a weird problem with ProgDVB 5.15.07 and my Avermedia A700. I can't "hear" some Radiostations. I got the channel in my channellist, even EPG is working but there's no sound coming out of my speakers. I can watch and listen to many other stations and channels in the list but the problem affects my favourite radiostation.
I hope you understood everything. I'm not a native speaker and the technical stuff is a bit difficult for me
Greetings from Germany

Is it free channel? Can you record file and playback in any software?

Yeah, it's a free channel. ProgDVB crashes when I try to play the recorded data, VLC and Mediaplayer can't play it at all.

What kind of audio streams do that stations use, standard mpeg (1 layer2) or perhaps AC3 / DD / ... ?
So,why not give relevant details, like station name and frequency, codec used for Radio, sound card type, S/P-DIF used or not and alike...

Station Name is FM4, it's on 19.2 Astra.
Frequency: 12663000
Codec: elecard
AC'97 conform sound card
I don't think it's because of the audio stream. Other stations use mpeg too and they're working.
The box at the upper right corner in channel properties says German (pid:434)
Could this be a problem?

Sorry, but this station works fine here, both in HW and SW mode of my Nexus. In SW mode I've just tested with Cyberlink and with Elecard instead. No issues at all.
Audio is standard, mpeg1 layer2, 192kbps, 2ch.
Audio ID 434 is correct.
Language definition is display only, without any technical relevance. On bilingual or multilingual stations it should just help you (or your software) on finding your favourite language audio track.
So I'm even missing an idea, what in the world might be the source of your problem.

Hm... ProgDVB lists the station not as radio- but as TVstation. Could this be the problem?
... I worked it out. Weird...
I changed the PID of video (lower box in channel properties) from 434 to 0. It works!!!

Sure.
The invalid V ID was identical with the valid A ID, this could not work at all.
Instead, PCR = A ID is not unusual for Radio.
