Adding S/PDIF Connection Invalidates Previous Work?

Hi Y'all -
 
Long time listener, first time caller ...
 
I've done a couple of recording / mixing projects on X1 through my M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface using the Channel 1/2 XLR connections.  Recently, I added an ART Digital MPA II to my rig, so I changed the M-Audio driver to include (activate) the S/PDIF connection.  When I return to my old projects, I get an incompatability error regarding the driver.  But new projects work fine.
 
If I deactivate the S/PDIF configuration in the driver, and SHAZAM, the old projects work fine.  Is there some setting in the old projects I need to change to make them compatable with S/PDIF?  Does it have something to do the clock?
 
One other thing ... I am looking for recommendations on a multi-channel A/D interface device as we are now looking at sessions with multiple musicians.
 
 
Thanks - Tom

    Last question first, best QUALITY bang for buck is Lynx audio stuff.

    if you are getting incompatability issues with the spdif then yes it is doing your clocking to/from a different source than older projects thru the spdif, check to see if the hardware is set to send receive thru spdif and reset that.

    Haven't used m-audio stuff since digi bought those guys so cannot say where the settings need to be reworked, if possible set everything to a master clock source somewhere and hope it doesn't change.

    I'm using SOnar Platinium on a 6 core Lynx Audio machine and a ton of vintage pre-amps/eq's/comps I build for fun and sometimes money, REDD.47/API/Neve I also use the UAD stuff, and also use a Macbook Logic 9 through Apogee...

    Tom I had issues with a 1010LT and another SPDIF item locking.. are you getting it to do that even ? there should be a thing within m-audio panel stating wether it's in sync.. I couldn't get it to sync.. so just used analog.

    also both are the same bitrate / 44.1 ? or 48?

    I use a fast track ultra from M-audio. I must boot with external clock present and "do not remove it" when X1 is running, otherwise it is the BSOD.
     Win 7 drivers need updated from M-audio, the SPDIF IO work well under XP pro SP3, but I cannot use SPDIF in 32-64 bit Win 7 yet.
    X1 doesn`t like losing the SPDIF clock input.

    If I disconnect the S/PDIF and use analog, all is well.  And I am having some problems with the bit rate; it keeps reseting to 48.
