So I looked at the back of my receiver and noticed it had Optical ins...and I remember my PowerMac has optical outs, so I went and bought an optical wire...
Plugged it into my Mac, plugged the other end in to the receiver...switched my output settings in sys prefs>sound>output to Digital out...
pushed the "signal select" button on the reciever to switch it from analog to digital, and nothin...no switch, no sound. In the receiver's manual it says it won't switch to digital unless it detects a digital signal. So I'm not sure if the receiver is not working right, or if I didn't set stuff up right on the Mac. The receiver hasn't had any issues other than this, so I'm doubting the receiver is messed up...so I'm stumped.
Thought I'd throw a post up on here to try and get suggestions before I give up and return the optical wire tomorrow.
Thanks in advance
