? re: SA8000 Audio Dropouts

All,

Quick question for you all with SA8000 audio dropout problems.  I just noticed for the first time tonight that when I have audio dropouts, my receiver shows that it is getting no signal from the optical audio cable.  I had just figured that the dropout occured before the signal got to the box and the box was still sending audio (albeit silence) to my receiver via the cable.  Is this happening with everyone?

Tonight I also unplugged and replugged my optical cable and I realized that the physical connection into the SA8000 is not the tightest.  Also the little piece of plastic covering the optical input fell off (maybe this is now causing the loose connection).  Does anyone think that this could be causing some audio dropouts?

The same thing happens on my receiver. My connections are tight.
