The audio gets corrupted during the DVE effect. Maybe there is something 
in the SDI signal that the decklink card does not like. (I had similar 
audio corruption when the PAL signal was mixed by an NTSC signal by 
mistake for a few seconds) Try using a frame sync. You can also try the 
HDMI capture by buying a SDI to HDMI converter. And you can also try the 
BlackMagic support of course, as this is almost surely a BlackMagic issue.
