Weird connection issue w/ Ox Box, X4, and computer audio.

[dap9]

Hi all. Just got an Apollo X4 and a used Ox Box. I have a TOSLINK cable going from the Ox into the IN of the X4. I set up the clock in the Apollo Console as SPIDF. When OX is on, I can listen to the Spotify app on my Windows Desktop (same w/ YouTube etc). But when I turn off the OX, the sound cuts out and I need to switch the clock to INTERNAL to hear anything. Both the Ox and the computer are on the same WiFi network.

Any ideas? Thanks!

This is not a connection issue and has nothing to do with your wifi.
It’s all about your sync clock source. You don’t need to set it other then internal, just leave it there.
Keep in mind too that OX box sample rate is just 44.1, so you need to match the sample rate of your Apollo.
