There is no secret...and the hardware DOES support transmitting...

However you must make sure you are using a driver >v0.23 since the old
drivers do not support transmitting. So please upgrade to the latest
lirc version and see if that helps.

Actually, everyone having trouble with devices not responding should
upgrade to the latest cvs version 1.27 since it includes support for
changing the carrier frequency. Older revisions only uses a hardware
default which is way of for most devices. 

With this version you should at least get the more reasonable lirc
default of 38kHz if nothing else is specified in your configuration.

Revision 1.27 also contains some reception improvements regarding
compatibility with non genuine Microsoft devices.
