Bad Toslink input [was No sound from TD-11]
I've got a head scratcher getting sound out of my one year old TD-11 in a 2.0 TV system, something I've never had problem with before. I recently switched from powered speakers with their own volume remote to powered speakers without one (Quad 12L). So I'm in the process of changing dacs to one with a remote, but had to return one I was auditioning and want the TD-11 to fill in for a couple of days. The set up is Toslink from TV to dac, then RCA ICs out of the tube output to the speakers. But no sound. I also tried line out and dac out but same result. All connections are good and the input knob is on Opt.
As a check, I'm running it right now with my computer, using USB input and tube outputs into another pair of Quad 12Ls and it's playing fine. So I'm at a loss. Any guesses what I might be missing? Right before switching it back to the TV I ran the dac out of my laptop for 72 hrs straight to burn in a USB cable, but don't see why that would be affecting the TV setup. Thanks,
