I'm a bit embaressed to ask this as I'm sure it must have cropped up on the forum lots of times.
I'm a bit puzzled by the 'optical' audio in and out on the back of my new G5. If they allow one to record audio with such high fidelity why did my apple reseller feel the need to install the MAudio delta44 card/breakoutbox. I'm guessing it has something to do with the 44's higher sampling rate or that the optical ports are somehow 'hard wired' to the OSX 'sound manager' thingy(?) cheers, jaysee. |

The optical ports give you 2 channels of digital audio in and out. You would need an A/D or D/A converter box to use these or an external device that has digital in/out.
The delta 44 gives you 4 analog ins and outs. What external sound sources are you trying to record? I'm assuming you are sending the outputs to your monitors. |
