Ran into the same thing with my SBLive 5.1 and my Sony receiver. I had
tried for *months* to get an optical cable working. Turns out all I
needed was a digital coax cable (which looks like a single RCA cable).
Connect that to a 1/8 inch mono plug and all was almost well. In my
case, I ended up having to get a 1/8 inch stereo plug to RCA, then
running one end of the RCA to my receiver. Voila!
