Someone help me out. I am running a toneport UX2 and two behrigner truth monitors. ive got those running out of the L and R analog outputs of my UX2. I just ordered the behrigner C5a (grot box) monitor (only 1) and will soon have 3 monitors. I was hoping to use the SPdif digital output of the UX2 to connect the grot box as it does have a digital input.
I tried tonight, to plug one of my truth monitors through the spdif (they have digital in aswell) and all i got was some hiss, and no sound. I used a standard RCA plug, tried the yellow, then a red, then a white, none worked.
My question is, 1, is the spdif a legit output for such things as monitors and why wasnt it working?
2, if I was to get it going like that, is there a way to switch between outputs on the ux2 (analog or digital outs) either by way of gear box or podfarm or control panel, so that I can select which monitor setup i want to hear, because i wont want to hear my mains and my grot box at the same time. but i also dont want to be unplugging and replugging cables back and forth all the time. would be nice to just turn a knob or click something to make the change.
btw im running PC windows 7.
