Thinking it might be a hardware problem, I plugged it in and man it sounds good. But after about 5 minutes of playing I get the same connection lost warning and no sound. I restarted the box and I have system sounds but no sound in VLC or other players. If I restart the computer I seem to have a connection but loose it. Sometimes system sounds and sound, sometimes only system sounds. Any help will be appreciated here, Thanks Doug
