Can't get my FiiO E17 to work

[Grubzilla]

I just got a FiiO E17 along with a 250ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880. When I plug the headphones into my desktop they work great but when I switched it to the FiiO I can't get any sound play. I made sure my Playback devices were set correctly, restarted the computer , etc, still no sound. I'm completely amateur at this audiophile thing, so I'd appreciate it if you used small words.
 
Thanks!

Have you chosen USB as the input?
 
What music playing software are you using?
 
Are you sure you are plugging into the headphone output and not the optical?

Yes I made sure the USB was the input.
 
I primarily use Spottily, but I'm not getting any audio from any programs.
 
I'm plugging my headphones into the SPDIF IN hole.

why plugged your phone in SPDIF In ? Connect E17 to your Desktop again, choose E17 as a DAC, set Default. Play the music, try WMP or KMP ( if u use Foobar, pls CTRL + P , go to output setting and choose E17 as the DAC ), plug your phone in the " HEADPHONE JACK "

Yeah, totally wrong there. You should have plugged headphone to the 'headphone-out'...

What do you know? It works now! I thought the jack was to big for the headphone slot. Guess that's what I get for trying to be productive after 4 Guinness's.
