I bought my 1010 about a year ago from ebay and have not been able to get sound from the S/PDIF output on the card. I ran RCA cables from there to the inputs on my KRK ROKIT monitors and all I can hear is a VERY faint crackle of the audio I'm playing. I can use the 1 and 2 outputs on the breakout box just fine, but would prefer using the S/PDIF outs. Is it something with the M-Audio software that comes with this unit, something with the drivers, or possibly a hardware problem? Any light shed on the subject would be greatly appreciated!
My only experience with faint sounds is when ground wires in the particular circuitry are not property connected. That means tracking the wires from the one end to the other if you can get to them. If they are not embended in a casing or housing I would change them.
Also, try changing the RCA plugs; even their connection can cause the sound shorting if there is a short.

In general, your PC's sound card (and its controlling software) will determine what it can connect to. Even the most basic PC would have stereo analog output via the typical green 1/8" connector or a headphone jack that easily adapts to RCA pair for analog audio connection. Any Line Level input EXCEPT PHONO would accept the PC's output. The output level would be controlled by the sound card software and settings. The SA-HT800's single LINE Input would accept the Green stereo audio or speaker output from a standard PC, once adapted. Select VCR.
Find your PC's Sound Controls and enable the applicable input. make sure the volumes of both Inputs and Outputs are turned up. Though not applicable to theGemini, more-advanced sound cards and audio hardware would have similar adaptable 5.1 or 7.1 (paired) analog outputs and / or digital audio outputs that conform to the s/pdif or Dolby Digital standards.

The Gemini's Input would accept the Green stereo audio or speaker output from a standard PC, once adapted. Select Line In.
The Gemini's Output (Record Master) would perform similarly if adapted to your PC's audio input, whatever that may turn out to be (usually Mic, maybe Line In).

YOUR receiver has only analog stereo RCA inputs so you
You would have to use the Sony MiniDisc software to burn them as a standard CD. A better solution is to buy an actual stand-alone stereo "CD Recorder" and go from the MiniDisc player to the CD Recorder and it will record directly, including track marks if you make it a digital dub! Check into getting a Phillips audio CD recorder, and Sony still makes a stand alone CD recorder as well.
Well, I would have to know what connectors your sound card and home theatre system have. If you dont have a sound card, get a headphone/3.5mm trs plug to stereo rca plug adapter usually available at your local radio shack or walmart, and connect to the red/white rca plugs on your reciever. If they have other connectors(your sound card/ home theatre system) you might try coaxial digital audio-S/PDIF or optical S/PDIF.
