Had the exact same problem, chased it for a long time. I did two things, one of which worked. I'm not sure which, because they happened at the same time. I switched from Miller Draft to a 'winter' beer, Dundee Honey Brown; and I lowered my CO2 pressure to about 5 lbs. No foam. I will be increasing the pressure over time to see if the problem is CO2 pressure related (which is what I suspect).

After you draw a beer take a look at your beer line. Do you see a small string of bubbles coming from the keg coupler? Do they create an air pocket/bubble in the line? That was happening to my system, it isn't any more.
