The Revo does not seem to support using the Line-In (monitoring) function via SPDIF.
I had a previous post regarding a similar question trying to get ASIO as well as my issues with the monitoring functionality working with SPDIF http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...31#post2835831 where I was very smugly "reminded" that there was a "search" function in this forum and that this type of question had been "answered about 100x times in the past six months".
I HAD done searches in this forum and found one or two people that had a "somewhat" answer to my questions.
Anyways...
In my searches of this forum and my own experience I have deduced the following;
You can not use the Line-In to the Revo, monitoring function, and SPDIF output to a receiver. It used to work on the original drivers I had tried on two different motherboards but I have since applied M$ patches and driver updates and this no longer works.
M-Audio says it's not a problem and the monitoring and SPDIF functionality works (based on emails from tech support). I gave up and live with analogue for monitoring and digital for everything else - whatever!!!.
You CAN use the Revo Line-In and the Analogue outs to you're receiver (if you're receiver supports analog inputs) Works fine, but I think the audio quality is not as good as the SPDIF.
You CAN use SPDIF for regular PC/HTPC functionality, including media players (Winamp, Theatertek, J.River's Media Center, etc.,) I'm still trying to get ASIO to work via J River's Media Center. Have not fooled around with that in the past 6 months and since some new updates.
Cliff Watson seems to be the expert on the Revo stuff here - maybe he has some advice - besides "use the search engine". He is very knowledgeable and has excellent posts and I would do a search on his ID for some very good information and in depth Revo information - might not be exactly what you're looking for but it might help.
This is my experience with the Revo. Perhaps others have had more recent success with you're issue specifically. Submitting an issue with the M-Audio site might also help http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.contact . They're pretty good at getting back to you
