@#$%. It looks like something is wrong with my D2.5A unit. The digital in seems to be completely fried. Analog in and out works still but optical in and coax in seem to be toast.
I get static like the unit is seeing a few bits of signal on the optical, but nothing consistent enough and I get NO signal from coax even though it's playing full throttle from my Denon unit.
Anybody experienced this before? Or did I just wake up with a few brain cells missing?
I did experience something yesterday. I was playing Call of Chtulu and the game is rather demanding graphically. I had to revert to an earlier version of the BIOS so the stupid processor throttle would stop kicking in in the middle of the game, bringing it down to a crawl. But it was pretty hot yesterday over here and the computer shut down to prevent CPU melt down (hehehe). The computer is unharmed, but I'm wondering if a surge could have gone through to the unit?! I don't see how since it's just light flowing through. I was connected via optical at the time.
Any help would be appreciated.
