In the sound to light you can set the dmx value range for Gobo, Colour, Pan & tilt.
If the blackout function is on the gobo wheel, for example its the first gobo on the wheel, then work out what the value is for the next gobo (probably full open circle) and set that as the minium value on the gobo channel.

I also think there is a memory leak in SL.exe.. the memory is increasing constantly when sound to light is activated.
