Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hey,

I've had my MPC2000XL for a few years now, but used it mostly for drum programming and the occasional basic track production... anyways, I recently decided to connect it to my PC through my soundcards S/PDIF jacks.

I plugged it all together with quality cables and all, and when I am monitoring on my MPC it registers the appropriate input from my computer. But then, when I try to sample that input, the meters stop showing any sound input at all, and when I stop recording it gives me the message 'No digital carrier signal'...

What the hell is going on? I want to get this working so I can dump crystal clear audio from my MPC onto my PC and vice versa.

Goat.

This may sound stupid but have you set the right samplerate and bitrate?
The mpc output 16bit/41.kHz and if your project in your computer is set to something else it won't record at all, or with lots noise.
