I'm in the process of taking a 10x10 bedroom in an apartment, and I'm finalizing all of the interconnects to various equipment and a homebrew PC DAW.

In this setup, I have a Tascam Portastudio 564 that works wonderfully, with one exception: I can not, for the life of me, get *any* S/PDIF output from this unit during playback of previously recorded tracks.

The maual (which I have and might just donate as a Digital Copy, since the most prevalent web searches for "Tascam Portatstudio 564" returns results of people looking for manuals) just denotes that the S/PDIF Output as follows:

DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK: Outputs the playback signal on tracks 1 and 2 in digital form (S/PDIF)

The S/PDIF output of this unit ends-up at an Creative Audigy LiveDrive in my DAW box. I am currently testing the input to the Audigy with the S/PDIF output of an old Denon CD Player with an S/PDIF output, so we're positive that it's neither the cable or the inputs, but with the output or something with the setup of the Portastudio.

If there is *anyone* who has had experience with the Tascam 564, I'd apprecate it!

Thanks!

ScottKin
