I've never experienced that, not once. This must depend on the 
computer and software you're using.

That only just now started happening on my unit, and I know why: I 
made the mistake of lending it to a "friend" for his concert, and he 
beat the shit out of it.

Your unit probably got knocked around too.

Mine syncs to SPDIF (not AES going down a SPDIF line, I mean SPDIF) 
fine, and syncing to lightpipe is not a good idea under any 
circumstances. But I normally keep it locked to my digital mixer and 
Pro Tools rig with a Digital Timepiece (using ADAT sync)>

I've found it to be an excellent box that behaves exactly as advertised.
