yea, I have it set up so that my 200 disc CD changer is on the analog connection, optical 1 is for DVD, optical 2 can run on the CD digital input, and the digital coax is set up for the TV input. So, when i turn the knob to TV, the digital input lights up. I know that is set up right. As far as the sound card, the M-Audio control panel shows me that there is sound being processed, tho it says Wav Out 1/2, and I would think it would say Wav Out SPDIF. the master control is grey'd out and I cant control that. As far as switching it to the SPDIF from 1/2 (which i assume to be the TRS connection) I have no clue how to do that. I've been thru all of hte options in there, and the Patchbay/Router tab says Wav Out S/PDIF, so i cant figure why there would be an issue. I emailed M-Audio support to see if someone can help me out with the issue. Otherwise I'm about to just buy a pair of Fostex powered monitors and say screw it.
Thanks for hte reply.
