No, this has happened several time swith various tapes - NEW tapes. I
keep a tape in the home miniDV to record the family. When it's filled,
I dub to DVD, but I have audio mismatch about 70% of the time.

OCCASIONALLY, there is a break in "control track", if my wife rewound a
tape to look at it and re-cued it, and that is one of the possible
causes. The DVD recorder "burps" when it sees this.
