I'm using a Behringer UCA202 to transfer a digital signal via Toslink from my PC to my Meridian 561 surround processor. Repeatedly on this forum it's been stated that the UCA202 transfers bit-perfect digital audio over this link, and sure 'nuff the Meridian's display says it's receiving 44.1. But I can't get this setup to play DTS recordings, no matter what I try, and I don't understand why. I'm using Foobar 2000, latest stable version.
I've downloaded and installed Behringer's own ASIO driver, since I've understood (I think!) that without either ASIO or kernel streaming (or is it both?) the UCA202 won't pass a bit-perfect signal. But is that right? The more I read the more confused I get.
The Readme file that comes with Behringer's ASIO driver stresses that to get it to work one must always use the same USB output connector as was used when the driver was installed, and I've followed that guidance. (To play DS I just switch the USB cable to a different connector and use MPC as player).
Anyway, for DTS playback I've tried every combination of 'Output' settings that is offered by Foobar and none of them produces any sound but noise. Not only that but Foobar tends to crash part-way through setting-up. I wonder if someone who is successfully using this device - in conjunction with Foobar - to do much the same thing as I'm (unsuccessfully) trying to do would care to give me the benefit of their advice? How, exactly, is your 'Output' configured in Foobar? And what are your settings in Behringer's Asio2ks app - assuming you're using it (and if you're not, what are you using as 'ASIO virtual device' instead and how is that set up)?

. I overlooked the fact that you feed it to a Meridian 561 surround processor.
