Topic: emagic 2|6 not getting digital signal?

[ice8888]

ok here's my problem... i've han this emagic 2|6 for a while now to do conversions.  i hardly ever have an issue, but right now i'm having a big one.  i can't get the thing to see the digital signal out of my m1 > 7-pin > coax.  it just sits there with the LED lit up on analog.  i've tried it on both a windows machine and a mac.  same thing.  any ideas?  thanks for any help.  oh, and i've already tried rebooting both the comps and the device, and i've re-installed the software.

any internal settings where you might be able to select between analog and digital input??

Can another device get signal from that m1>7pin>coax combination? Perhaps there's an issue in that link of the chain. Likewise, do you have any other digital device to test the 2|6 with? A recevier's digital output might work.

There's that switch on the front that selects digital vs. analog input - any chance it got moved?
If you need another digital signal source for testing (in case your 7 pin is shot) most DVD players have a coax digi out.

i'll try the dvd player idea to check it, but the 7-pin is good.  i've tried two of them and gotten the same thing.

the switch is set to digital?

have you looked at the Audio Midi Setup in applications/utilites?

[ice8888]

switch is set to digital, and i have gone through the audio midi stuff.  still can't get this thing to work.  another odd thing... when i close the lid to the powerbook it will switch over to "digital in"... when i open the lid it switches back to analog.
