Hi all

I too am using a sblive value - alsa 0.96 2.4.21 kernel - no probs 
pushing 30 feet to my entertainment center. Your probls sound  like 
hardware issues. I presume you've  played with alsamixer? Using a mono 
or stereo 1/8"  plug (its a digital signal so you only need mono) ? Let 
us know if you're still having problems. (two heads and all that).
