One possibility is that the ss410 firmware is ridiculously old. There isn't a nice way to determine that though on your end. Does it have the "tail" with the little wire connected to it? If it does, chances are that it may be one of the really old ones.

Yes, I can get the microphone to work every time but when the distance sensor is plugged in either by itself or with the mic, then I generally get no readings. Sometimes I can hear the distance sensor clicking as it sends out pings but nothing shows on the screen. I have the same problem with the Windows emulator. I have found that it's slightly more reliable when I set the distance sensor up so there's nothing closer then .20m to it before starting. If I have it laying on its face, it never starts.
