    After a year that I bought this interface I tried to use it's RCAs in the back and I only heard very low mix of distorted/+whitenoise signal I thought maybe my unit is faulty but just searched online and I was not the only one having the exact same issue...
    The thing is I tried in reason, FL and bitwig and windows control panel settings but same results
    I read that each one of this I/o's are both in and outs and that was the weirdest part for me that I can't even configurate/routing them to work as in or out result is = same weird sound
    Any information and reply would be very valuable thanks✨❤️

    What are you hooking it up to? Fairly common issue is sample rate mismatch which can range from periodic clicking to full-on noise.

    Also the cables are 75 Ohm ones (though normal RCA audio cables often work for short cables) so make sure you're using a dedicated digital cable.

    It looks like an RCA jack, but it’s actually an S/PDIF coaxial connection. You need another device with S/PDIF to connect it to.

    S/PDIF cables are one-way only. One cable goes from a device’s output to the other device’s input. If you want two-way audio, you need a second cable for the reverse direction, but you don’t always need both.

    S/PDIF carries its own embedded clock, but you still have to set a clock master and slave in your software for a proper digital lock. No MIDI or external word clock cables are required for it to work.

    If the devices aren’t properly clocked or connected, you’ll hear distorted static or low-level digital noise.
