try optical spdif instead? or check for ground loops or anything of that nature that could be causing the issue.

Digital Coax Audio - Interference from ZWave Dimmer?
I don't know the best place to post this but I will try here first.
I send digital (coax) audio via RG6 cable from the PC in my basement to the AVR in my family room (~30 feet). I have an Intermatic ZWave dimmer switch in my family room. When I turn the switch fully on or off there is a temporary interruption in the audio signal. When I dim the lights some the signal is permanently "interrupted" (no signal at all received at the AVR). There are also "blips" in the signal when the air conditioner turns on. I have a pair of Cat5 baluns for digital audio that I tried instead of the RG6 but still have the same interference.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Thanks.

Unfortunately coax is the only option at the moment. Thanks for the responses.
You might try an isolator such as http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonics-VSI...ref=pd_sim_e_2 .
