greenmachine Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I own a MD deck with optical output (MDS-JE500) and a soundcard with coaxial input (Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2), so I decided to buy an optical to coaxial converter, connected cables as suggested, powered the converter, selected s/pdif as recording input, set a proper volume in the mixer, started the MD player, opened a recording program, pressed the rec button, and ... nothing happened. Am I missing something here or doing sth. basically wrong? I thought it would work the same way as the analog method ?!?How can I test the converter, as I am not sure if it's working?

Syrius Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 If you have a DVD player, pop a CD in and connect it to the converter. Don't use a DVD as it has SCMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Alright, I've tried it with a different source, a CD player with optical out - still no signal...Maybe they've sold me crap.I need to test it with a different device, maybe a DAT deck with coaxial in...
