I've used Cuemix to set Spdif channel 1 and 2 to stereo but I'm still only receiving audio on the left channel. If I pan cuemix hard right there's no sound.
Any thoughts? I may be missing something really simple.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Audio Express only receiving spdif on left channel
I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I'm running a Focusrite ISA One pre-amp (spdif out) in to the Express spdif in. The ISA is a mono pre-amp but outputs spdif stereo according to the manual (far as I'm aware all Spdif is stereo?).

Re: Audio Express only receiving spdif on left channel
Hi Blameless,
You are correct in that the SPDIF Digital connection is a Stereo output. When using SPDIF, if you are only connecting a single Mic, Line, or Inst you will only get the left channel of the stereo pair.
With that said, you can also get the DI out as well via SPDIF which could give you a stereo pair.
It sounds like you will simply need to make a Mono track and choose SPDIF 1(L) as the Input in your DAW. Often times the SPDIF inputs may be listed as SPDIF L/R for your interface.
I hope this helps, but if you are still having issues; please start a case with us here : http://global.focusrite.com/answerbase/contact-0
