No sound on Fast Track Ultra SPDIF input [SOLVED]

[Nayland]

Hello all,

I'm trying to record via the SPDIF input on the Fast Track Ultra but I'm getting nowhere fast. Here's the setup:

• Microphone connected via XLR port on a API A2D preamp
• SPDIF out on A2D preamp connected to SPDIF input on Fast Track Ultra
• Connectors in the software are set to digital, as below:

The driver is set up as follows:



All the levels are up:



When I tap the microphones, I can see the LEDs on the preamp light up, but nothing happens in the program (Cubase). I suppose it could be the SPDIF cable, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything else before running back to the music store. Any suggestions?

Well I figured it out after lots of experimenting...the settings apparently need to be like so:



I was able to test it out with some mics and was able to hear them within Cubase. There were a few crashes along the way but so far it seems to work.
