[Todd Lefkowitz]

Hi All

Please help…I cannot get audio out from spdif port to use with an external dac.. I am able to get audio to dac via Bluetooth but prefer wired

Todd,

If you go into the WebUI,, go into 'Settings & Status' and check that ''Audio on HDMI' box is not ticked.  If this box is ticked, all other audio outputs are switched off.

I have attached a screenshot showing the option.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Todd,

is the same issue you posted about yesterday ?

Did you check that you don't have HDMI enabled ?

In the Web UI click on the cog. It should be a blank white square

What is your DAC ?

The fact that you said "wired" makes me wonder if you're trying to use a coax cable.  The SPDIF signal from the B2 must be connected with an optical Toslink cable (fiber optic).  It has a mini connector on the B2 side.  See the description and picture on this page about halfway down the page.

Todd just replied to me directly

Sprout 100 DAC

I have checked that hdmi audio is not ticked

Todd,

per Daniel's post can you confirm the cable you are using ?

It should look something like this. 

If you look at the end indicated before plugging into your Sprout you should see a red light if the B2 is correctly configured 

and the cable is not faulty.

I just discovered three messages from Todd in my private email:

I purchased a similar cable for the purpose…it fits the B2 perfectly  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks just like that and I DO see the red light

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I have SPDIF Audio out working consistently.  I just cycle between HDMI audio out and off a few time...works great now

Best and thanks

Todd

Hi Todd,

Great news!

Sounds like toggling the 'Audio on HDMI (TV)' option on and off did the trick.
