ok, cool. I will keep mine like that too. thanks. for connections I think I am just using a basic RCA audio input cable. I am assuming that is different than the S/PDIF?

The S/PDIF connections are clearly marked in the center back of the interface. I am guessing the RCA connections you are using are connected to the interface outputs. At least this is my best guess based on this picture of the interface.

wow, pictures and everything. you are awesome  Steve. I checked the back and I am using output 1 and 2.. No S/DIF.  lol. I actually have no clue what S/DIF is or does lol. anyhow, my interface outputs are hopefully fine being that's what I am using. thanks again. This forum is great.

Unless you know what you're doing, you won't ever need to use SPDIF.  it's a way to connect devices using a clock to sync them, but it's only 2 channels (usually main output) from one device to another.

ok, thanks Reece
