Bah, I should have remembered that you'd mentioned them not working with the AWE64 (Gold). Not only that, but I apparently misread/misinterpreted Vin from the Foxconn datasheet, and also see now that the ASUS bracket is designed with only a +5V TTL signal in mind besides.
Interestingly enough, the coaxial TTL-to-S/PDIF circuit is pretty-much exactly as described here, and only seems to differ in its use of a 390 Ω resistor. Perhaps that difference is great enough to explain your non-working coaxial output?
In other news, I suppose this is as good a place as any to bid farewell to the VOGONS forum. I've accomplished just about everything I'd ever wanted to in the "vintage-computing and gaming" space, and am hoping to now (finally) shift the focus to primarily musical interests. Guess we'll see how well that works out... 😀
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
