Eighteen months later and *exactly* the same issue!
Sound registers as being recorded on the audio meters on the DVWA500, is visible when I jog through the footage, but does not play back at normal speed and can not be re-captured back off the tape.
What on earth is going wrong here! I’ll be frank, I find this incredbibly irritating. If it’s something I’m doing wrong pray tell me!

Check the condition lights on the Digibeta when playing back. Are they red? If so, you’ve got a reference problem in recording. Make sure you have the out ref switch on teh Dbeta set to input video OR disconnect the output from the Dbeta to the blackmagic card while recording.

this happens with AJA gear also – when you DONT HAVE THE CORRECT REFERENCE. Make sure that you have a good quality black generator going to the Genlock or Ref Inputs of both the Digi Beta VTR and the BMD. If you are using a Horita BSG-50, make sure that you have the reference inputs terminated to 75 ohms.

thanks very much john and bob for getting back to me on this.
the problem was that the OUT REF switch on the Digi should have been set to INPUT VIDEO not REF (as it was)
