I have an audio setup for active speakers using a headless Raspberry PI 400 running brutefir (FIR filtering), with an Asus Xonar U7 USB DAC providing multiple audio streams to drive three stereo amps and in turn two tweeters, two mid woofers and a sub. The audio feed to this setup comes from a Windows 10 laptop running JRiver MC through a Creative G6 stereo USBDAC. At the moment i feed the audio between the two computers using an analog link, but I always intended to send the audio in digital form somehow. I assumed that SPDIF would be the way to go, but somehow I can never get any sound to come through I have tried numerous USB sound card setups, using the Creative G6, Creative GC7, Creative X6, Asus Xonar U7 MKII, but no sound ever gets through. I have tried different optical cables (for TOSLINK), different coax cables for SPDIF, and of course an optical to coax converter when needed (the ASUS XOnar U7 only has SPDIF coax output).
The only explanation I can some up with is that SPDIF copy protection does not like audio to be sent from one computer to another, where it could be copied, and is preventing the link from working. Can anyone confirm that this is what is happening? If so, is there a way to get around the copy protection? Could there be another explanation for why it does not work?
Is there perhaps another way to send audio from one computer to another?
Any help would be much appreciated.
