yes, i was sending the master fader to the A12/s/pdif1-2 out that is the default then i alternately tried to create another s/pdif output in the i/o menu when that wouldn't work. any thoughts?
nevermind, i figured it out that it was a limitation in the digi002 that i did not know about.
here is the solution if anyone has the same problem
