Need some help with M-Audio setup

[GSDog]

Hi all,

I recieved my cable for the M-Audio Audiophile 192 soundcard. I had it up and running earlier and it was sounding great. I turned it off and I have come back and it doesn't seem to be working.
I have checked all the connections and it seems fine.

When I asked one of my friends the other day about which cable to buy, he said when I do get it up and running I need to set my soundcard to "Pre-amp" in the options, otherwise all kind of strange things still start to happen.

Any idea's what he meant?
Does anyone know why It's stopped working?

In the "Monitor Mixer" in the M-Audio control panel the "WavOut S/PIDIF" was working earlier, but now nothing seems to be happening.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, It seems to be working now for some reason. I only turned it off and on, I already tried that twice.

I will keep an eye on it.

I still don't know why my friend said make sure it is set to 'pre-amp' ??
