This is the same as I get. I'm using the Microsoft USB MCE receiver.
Receiver works perfectly.

Transmitter works for one code only and gives a timeout error when
using irsend. The STB in my case (Foxtel IQ2) correctly receives that
one code. Subsequent tries with irsend do not send anything and only
result in a timeout.

A simple restart of lirc results in it working for one code again.

My self learnt  .conf file looks like this (all buttons work fine
(just one time only). Is there something here that might break irsend
or lirc?

Same basically (but now on 0.27). This hardware previously worked fine
on Mythdora but I've never been successful with Mythbuntu.
