HELP!!! Recording with s/pdif

Allright everyone I'm new to recording. I am attempting to record live dj mixes to my laptop using ableton live 6.0 and a m-audio fast track pro. I have a pioneer djm-800 with a s/pdif output. I am attempting to connect the digital output to the digital input on the m-audio interface. When doing this I get no signal that is able to be monitored by the m-audio and i see no signal in the ableton live mixer. Also I have noticed the s/pdif is not even a selectable input for ableton but you may select it as output. Is there anyone out there who can coach me through my dilemma.
Thanks everyone
William

Hi,

I guess you should have a Control Panel program for your M-audio soundcard, where you would have to select the Spdif in/out, somehow, or at least see which of the inputs they are. Have you activated all inputs in the Live audio Preferences, in the 'input config' window?
