What image problem do you mean?  If you are seeing a ghost, or the same signal on both sides of the center, then you have a ground loop.  Try removing the ground of the power cable, or the audio cable, and see if it goes away.  

If you have a 'hump' just in the center, then that is common of sound card based SDRs.  Although some software, such as SDR-Radio, will remove some of it.
