Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could use the optical port in my Motu 828x to play the sound from my PS3 through my monitor speakers. I tried just plugging it in and playing around with some settings, but I couldn't get it to work. I have the Motu plugged into my MacBook Pro as well if that helps

According to many forums, this works over S/PDIF

Specs for the 828x:
Digital I/O 16 channels of ADAT optical at 1x sample rates
8 channels of SMUX optical at 2x sample rates
2-channel TOSlink (optical S/PDIF) up to 96 kHz
2-channel RCA S/PDIF up to 96 kHz
The manual should tell you how to set your 828x to see your PS3. If it won't work, I'd create a Tech Link at MOTU.com.
