Motu ulralite fw 1.15 spdif default oupput problem

Post by a6sound »

HI !

I have a motu ultralite fw 1.15. I use the spdif out to go to a TC clarity M analyser. and i listen to that ouput via the phones out.
I´ve found out how to get it all to work out but I´ve come across a problem:

If I work in logic I can route my output to the spdif out with no problem.
but if I want to playback audio in say finder, quicktime or ozone 7 standalone I get the audio from the computer straight to main out !
this despite having the spdif as default output.
what gets even weirder is that if I go to system preferences and tick in the "play feedback sound when volume is changed" and allow "core audio volume controls" I can see it going out from spdif. If i play music from spotify it also goes to spdif..

seems like a core audio problem maybe but I´m clueless of how to fix this...

any ideas ?

OS X el capitan 10.11.14, motu ultralite fw v1.15, motu driver 1.673220
