Problem: No sound output.

Problem: I’m trying to record digital audio through the S/PDIF input but I don’t hear any output.

Possible Cause:The settings in the Audiophile Control Panel may be incorrect. Double check that you have S/PDIF Input enabled and that your settings don’t exceed the bandwidth limitations of USB. Remember that the more inputs and outputs you have enabled, the lower the allowable sampling rate and bit depth.
