Jim followed up,

|       In this case, I'm actually interrupting the digital signal by

| silence, this is the complete absence of signal.

If disconnecting the cable got you a new track but shutting off the digital
output from the soundcard did not, then shutting off the digital output
from the soundcard must leave *something* active.
