In a rather different situation (using UPnP) I had something similar. To cut a longish story short I forced aac to use pcm for my player by setting the file types accordingly. It may be worth just trying each setting exclusively. I'm not an expert on SB types, so am not sure what a Classic should support, but it wouldn't take long to try each of the 4 options with the other 3 disabled.
