(SBLive! 5.1 Platinum --> LiveDrive IR --> original SBLive! Digital I/O bracket)

With 3533b, the coaxial S/PDIF-Out on my Live!Drive IR has been disabled/remapped. The coaxial S/PDIF-Out on my Digital I/O bracket works fine, as I believe it always has (before 3533b, the coaxial outputs on both the Live!Drive IR and Digital I/O bracket sent out the same signal, IIRC). The Optical-Out on the Live!Drive (there isn't one on my Digital I/O bracket, again the one that came with the original full SBLive!) is also currently unusable, as is its DIN (digital speaker) output.

I've tried playing around in the DSP and tried muting/unmuting/enabling/disabling everything related to S/PDIF in the first two mixer panels (Master + Ins 'n' Outs), all to no avail (the SPDIF1 slider doesn't seem to do ANYTHING - not even to the single working digital output). I'm thinking that perhaps the Live!Drive's S/PDIF-Outs have been remapped to SPDIF2 or SPDIF3 or something, for which a slider isn't available (yet?), since it seems to me that 3533b can now detect and individually control each S/PDIF output, whereas older versions just controlled them all with a single common generic slider (is this correct?).

Summary + other pertinent info:
SBLive! 5.1 CD-ROM TTL S/PDIF-In: no idea, I've got DAE playback mode enabled and don't wish to reboot just to test it.
Live!Drive IR Coaxial S/PDIF-In: works to the degree allowed by the EMU10k1 (cursed resampling!!).
Live!Drive IR Coaxial S/PDIF-Out: disabled/remapped, unusable at the moment.
Live!Drive IR Optical S/PDIF-Out: disabled/remapped, unusable at the moment.
Live!Drive IR Optical S/PDIF-In: no idea, and no easy way to test.
Digital I/O Coaxial S/PDIF-In: hasn't worked since a power surge many moons ago, so no way of testing it - it's fried.
Digital I/O Coaxial S/PDIF-Out: works properly.
Digital I/O DIN (speaker) S/PDIF-Out: disabled/remapped, unusable at the moment.

I'm not sure if the AC3 Pass-Thru box's contents vary per card or not, but in case it helps (ie, in case these are the available S/PDIF outputs as detected by the driver), the choices in it are: Off, SPDIF 1, SPDIF 2, SPDIF 3.

I've also been getting a little bit of very minor crackling (BARELY audible) with the last few driver builds.. seems to be related to video card activity, such as when changing and refreshing windows (my SBLive!5.1 + nVidia Vanta [Detonator XP v44.03] ARE sharing IRQ 11, but I never noticed THIS crackling until recently - I used to suffer from major crackling, but that's long since been remedied).

if you revert back to 3528 release (or any one that worked) does it solve the problem?
if you disconnect the digital i/o bracket -- does it solve the problem?
also, if you haven't rebooted -- reboot [or run 'kxctrl -dbr' from the command line prompt -- this will re-initialize any daughter boards you might have]
