I've a on-board audiocard with both coax and optical out. I've never

The card plays perfectly well using analog out, except from the
audio quality...
The audio works fine for about 5-10 minutes when using digital out.
After 5-10 minutes the sound disapears for some seconds and comes
back again. This behavior continues until the computer is rebooted.
I started to think that this was driver related. I have a spare
Windows disk for this computer as well and I decided to try if it
worked better in Windows. I have the same problem in Windows so that
eliminates the driver theory.
Could this really be hardware related? It doesn't matter if I use
coax or optical in either operating system.
I think that it is a bit odd to think that it should be hardware
related since it always works for about 5-10 minutes an then won't
work again until rebooted. The reboot part somewhat directs me to
hardware but why 5-10 minutes. It would last for seconds if it were
some kind of buffer problem.
My guess would be bad cable (does this happen with optical out only
or are you saying you have both coaxial digital audio and optical
out?) or your receiver just doesn't like the signal that the card is
outputting.
I have both optical and coax connected to different input sources on
the amp. I tend to not think that it is the amp since it works for
5-10 minutes after a reboot of the computer. I also don't think the
cables are to be blamed since I have tried both optical and coax with
the same result, it works for some minutes...
I'll agree that it's not the cable if you've used both optical and coax
digital connections, but I still would place my bets on the
card/receiver interaction. Do you have access to another card and/or
receiver for testing?
