Problem w/ EMU 0404 and ADA8000

[Genius Gone Insane]

I'm trying to add 8 inputs (behringer ADA8000) via lightpipe to my EMU 0404 card on my studio computer and it's not working, despite several hours of failed attempts plus about a half pack of cigarettes. I tried it through both Cubasis and Nuendo 2 with no success.

The ADA8000 worked fine with my home computer (PTLE digi 001), just plugged in and bang, it worked. I'm guessing that the problem is with the Patchmix DSP program. I set it up to the "Digital in/out" template but had no luck. No signal can be received via spdif.

I'm about to go look all over online to get answers, but in the meantime does anyone here have any help for me?

I may be wrong but emu 404 doesn't have 8 Digital channels input... ??? Has it?

SPDIF is only 2 channels...

Maybe I'm confused. It's got an optical in/out as well as SPDIF. But, according to the manual, in order to use the optical, you need to select the SPDIF option then select "optical". I assume that means you can grab 8 external inputs. I'm in email correspondance with customer service right now, hopefully they'll get it.

Spdif IS optical or Coaxial... but always 2 channels.

It's nothing customer service will be able to fix, it doesn't have 8 digital ins thru lightpipe, it has SPDIF which is 2....
The reason it has both coax and lightpipe is for flexibility reasons i guess, maybe you can even use both at once, i don't know...
