HD500 S/PDIF Interface Dropout

I have my HD500 connected to a Roland Octacapture interface via the S/PDIF connection. I really like the sound through the S/PDIF and I can definately say that I can tell the diffrence from using a standard 1/4" analog connection. With that being said, here is my problem....After using the tuner, when I exit tuner mode, all of the sound from the interface cuts out for about 2 seconds. This is a pretty big problem when I've got other devices/instruments/people attached to the interface..like another guitar player, a vocalist, drum machine..whatever. All the sound just stops for a couple seconds then comes back on by itself like nothing ever happened. I can see the reason this is happening is that the internal clocks of the interface and the Pod have to re-sync with each other..the interface displays the standard sync message everytime I exit the tuner. I just don't know to stop it from doing that. Why is it losing sync in the first place simple by entering (or exiting I guess) tuner mode?

Any ideas? Has anyone had this same problem with other interfaces (I saw a post on "thegearpage.net" where someone had a similar problem with a Presonus interface)?

A resolution to this problem would be great since I really want to keep using the S/PDIF connection for the sound quality.
