Title: ISO a little help using Optical outputs with the Apogee Ensemble
Post by: Chimney Top on March 06, 2012, 04:31:50 PM

Sometimes when i run my Playstation3 optical out into my receiver i have to turn the receiver off and on so it doesnt get out of whack (whatever that means) decoding the signal.

I can't get any sound even though there is a signal on Maestro, the best i could get was a couple seconds of sound every 45 seconds or so during one song.

it must be some decoding issue...  any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Generic answer, I suspect it's not related to the Apogee output, its related to receiver input.
- Try another optical cable
- Blow the dust out of the sockets
- can you do coax instead of optical?
- does it work at 16/44, but not 24/96?
- some devices don't play well together... for instance, that's why V3 has chip updates, so it will play with newer recorders. Hopefully you don't have incompatible hardware. My Onkyo surround receiver will play great with my iRiver, but not with my R09.

Good luck.
