[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 96814, member: 158"] Re: Yamaha 01V 96 v2 digital output weirdness since it's not a firewire or usb converter, the OS of the MacBook shouldn't effect anything. My bet would be on maybe the optical cable getting hinky, or the optical input on the macbook getting hinky. Or, as has been stated, the clock settings in the MacBook could have changed somehow. I doubt this is related to the Mixers since you've seen this behavior on two different mixers in two different environments. Troubleshooting 101 tells me that you should focus on what is common to both, i.e. the converter, cables, and macbook. My money is on optical cable or optical input on the MacBook first, and converter second. FWIW, i'm using an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile converter which has an s/pdif input and plugs into my MacBook via Firewire. Even on OS 10.8 the s/pdif works just fine. got it off eBay a few weeks ago for like 30 bucks.... [/QUOTE]
