Describe the symptoms. It starts recording then after a minute or so the red light comes on, i get hard disc activity and i all normal. I let it run for a few minutes then when I press the off button to stop recording the light stays on but the status bar says stop. It stops eventually after a few minutes (and a warm hard drive) then I can't press anything except off which puts it back into what seems to be the record ready position (after another 20 seconds of redlight). I can then press off again and get back into the menus then back to the filesystem. If I start recording again (or press anything else) it brings up the following: Updating reserved (half a p or f) then a complete freeze. This resulted in a 0 KB RECORD.mp3 file but normally ther most I get at what it sometimes says to be 192kBits (in Winamp I get the same vaules as archos) is 1:46 >> I'm just using a standard 3.5mm Stereo jack (not gold) out the back of >> my SBLive and I haven't used the digital out/in before so it could be a >> hardware thing. >> Just tried digital recording with the Archos Firmware and I get the same >> drop in signal level. >As I suspected. >> Hope this helps.

For some reason I thought i needed RCA into stereo 3.5, but a mono will work ok. Does gold-plated make much difference for a digital signal, is it limitation to my "prosumer" soundcard or Archos hardware?
