But I don't see any option in input to select SPDIF.

I'll submit a ticket to Focusrite but believe they'll just say it's a pro tools issue, not us.
I was replying to a different user in that other reply.

I am confused. Why would Focusrite say this is a Pro Tools issue.... you are talking about only problems understanding Focusrite Control right?

"But I don't see any option in input to select SPDIF."... you do mean in the Focusrite Control right? None of that has anything to do with Pro Tools.

Sorry Darryl - appreciate your willingness to help.

[UPDATE] Re-read the focusrite manual, and realized I had forgot to set Clock Source to S/PDIF. As soon as I did, SPDIF did show up Optical 11-12.

Appreciate Darryl your patience, and now back to making music and freeing up 2 analog inputs on the back.

Yes, sorry I have an original version, not the 2nd gen. I hadnt realized they changed the MixControl software when they updated the hardware.

Joel - no problem. The new version is called Focusrite Control for the 3rd Gen; I believe they still offer MixControl for older interfaces.

Great you got it working. I would not have thought about the clock setting hiding stuff like that in the UI. Does not seem like great UI design. Thanks for posting your fix here, that will help others.

Sadly many of us are at the mercy of different monitor/mix control software. I know enough to just hurt myself with several different systems. And it hurts to switch between them, and have to open up the manual.

No problem Darryl, and thanks for your patience. I'm new to Focusrite gear and the Focusrite control app - I had been Digi for many years (Audiomedia II, III, Digi 001, Digi 002R, mBox 3 Pro, 11 Rack) - so this is taking some getting used to.
