Transfering through optical out??

[punknasty]

Can you transfer openMG files through digital?

I have the Sharp DR-420H and i've used both Beatjam and Sonicstage 1.5, and neither will recognise the unit through the digital out on my soundcard ( Terratec DMX 6fire) , only through the USB connection.

I can run a digital radio via my PC to the minidisc unit no problems.

So i guess either you cant do it, or there is a setting along the line somewhere that i need to change?

Thanks for any help.

Nope. What you transfer through the digital out is the decoded audio, when you playback the files on your computer.

It's no wonder, as the digital out is an OUTput. No data is going back to the computer through that one. Therefore, Sonicstage won't recognize anything connected there.

Normally, if you can play back the music on your computer, the signal should be available on the digital out as well.

(Except Creative Audigy, which blocks digital out on DRM-infested material, but I never heard, that a terratec card is doing that.)

However, you might check the Controlpanel of the soundcard, on the tab configuration check the Master Clock setting, it should be set to internal and 44100. Otherwise, an invalid signal comes out of the card...
