That requires TMS to be set active in the Settings dialog.

Thank you, I am not familiar with Digicheck so again thank you for your guidance.

That is indeed crazy, this toslink cable must be from Apple. You may send it to RME headquarter for checking ?

It is crazy indeed ! At least it is functioning for now.. thanks for you input

TM FX shows a signal in your screenshot, then I bet there is a signal sent. To verify plug the optical cable back into the AIO and check the sync state and the input signal in TM FX. You can even listen to it.

The input signal can be analyzed with the old DIGICheck version, Channel Status window. That one will show in detail what's happening. One explanation would be that the SPDIF channel status is set to 'Non-Audio' (aka surround), then the Audient will most probably mute its input (the AIO doesn't).

Then is the question - why. Might be that you use Dolby plugin or room/sound/signal 'improvement' settings in Win 11 that are different to Win 10 (see Sound panel again, Properties tab) and trigger that Non-Audio status.

Thanks for your assistance on this. I have fixed it - I swapped out toslink cables and suddenly the SPDIF signal came through to the Audient.
The toslink cable I was using works with win 10, but not win 11    Crazy... but at least it's now working. Thanks again for your input here.

What I would do, cable loopback test.
Connect a toslink cable from out to in, and watch Totalmix input if send signal arrives back.
Try with SPDIF and with Adat configuration.

I did looped back the SPDIF using the AIO ports and TotalMix does show signal going out and coming back in via SPDIF:

I also tested by connecting RME's SPDIF out straight into my Yamaha RX-Z1 amplifier and signal was successfully received by the amp!

Looping RME's SPDIF Out back to In shows in TM as signal  going out and coming in via SPDIF. Digicheck is showing the sample rate but doesn't show any other info on SPDIF input. I took this shot while audio was playing and RME's SPDIF selected as Windows sound default:

Here is the settings for Windows Sound output:

In both 10 & 11 I do have surround options under Windows Sound for "Windows Sonic for Headphones" and "Dolby Atmos for Headphones" but both are always turned OFF. I also use Sonarworks SoundID Reference for headphone profile correction on both systems but it is also turned OFF and not loaded at startup on 11. SoundID does load at startup on 10 but SPDIF still works

In your first post you say dual boot.
If you boot Win11 only, how is it working then ?
Just a guess, by dual boot the Win10 boots first and occupy the SPDIF ?

Even if I change the default boot entry to 11 Pro in Windows Config the RME does not send SPDIF signal in win 11, despite TotalMix and Windows Sound showing SPDIF is selected and audio is playing there is just no signal sent out from the AIO SPDIF output port but it works in win 10 !

Did you try make the WDM something other than SPDIF ?

Yes, in win 10 the SPDIF signal is sending out whether I choose WDM Device as Analog 1+2, Phones or SPDIF - but in win 11 there is just no SPDIF signal sent out regardless of what I choose.

As it shows, there is audio routing through RME TotalMix as SPDIF and SPDIF is selected as Windows default Sound output, and I am listening to the audio through the Audient iD22 on headphones. It is working on Win 10. But this does not work on Win 11...

Thanks I'll do that to show settings
