Audio problems on DV compression

I almost exclusively use the Canon in HDV mode, but for this job the client need DV 4:3. I gave the tapes to him and he took a look at them on his DV deck and a Sony M15U and reported audio problems that can best be described as digitally garbled - you can't really make out anything except for the occasional blip or squeek.

I had a similar problem with HDV tapes recorded on the Canon and played back on Sony decks / cameras - although that issue was more in the realm of dropped frames where as this is more audio specific.

Thoughts? The client is sending the tapes back and I am going to see if they play on my camera. If they do, then I will transfer them to another set of tapes via firewire connected to a deck. But I would like to avoid this problem in the future.
 
It will most likely read just fine on the A1 or any other Canon camera. That's one of the annoyance in that tapes recorded on Canon camera can only be read by another Canon cam.
 
Well that sucks. I can kind of understand that with the HDV compression, but with DV? That seems like a MAJOR design flaw
 
I had similar problem with XL2 tapes but not with my A1, I use sony trv 900 as deck for the SD and no problems. This is indeed odd, may call canon and lets us know what they say.
