tjr201 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 From the Helix manual: "S/PDIF digital in only. If a Variax input (or Multi input, which includes Variax) exists on another Input block within the preset, S/PDIF in will be non-selectable." BUMMER! I would like to use S/PDIF input from a Sonos Connect and be able to play along. This works great using the 1/4" guitar input. However, Helix will not allow Variax input at the same time while using 2 separate paths. I've attached an image of the patch for reference. I can plug in both 1/4 and Variax connections together to power the Variax but no communication or audio input is available without using 1/4" input in this scenario. It also is not possible to use Workbench HD (Helix is connected USB to the Mac) at the same time Any one else interested in a similar configuration? Could using S/PDIF and Variax at the same time be something offered with a firmware update???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I believe this is a hardware limitation. I really can't imagine why they wouldn't allow it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
