Hi there
I seem to be having a problem with the optical input on 'my' Mac Pro (I say 'my' as it belongs to work, although I do look after it). It no longer seems to be working. It certainly was once, although I currently can't seem to get any input at all on it - the option shows up in SysPrefs but does not register any input on that channel. To be honest, I can't be entirely sure it isn't the attached device that has the problem - but I have tried it with two devices, and neither seems to work. The optical out, however, is working fine.
On what could also be a related note, I've noticed some issues with the USB ports on the machine too, including the whole system freezing if you plug a USB pen drive into the USB ports on the front of the machine (although this doesn't seem to happen if you plug the drive into the USB ports in the hubs in the ACDs), and the audio from an attached USB audio device being a little on the crackly side (and in one instance, locking up all together).
Thanks in advance for your help!
