6. You should now see all 18 inputs active and the SPDIF inputs set to 17 and 18.
7. Quit Pro Tools
8. Go into your Applications folder and into the Digidesign folder, and launch the Digidesign Core Audio Manager. Double check that the settings you made in step 2 are still correct. Make any changes to match the settings outlined in step 2.
9. Launch Peak and go to Audio>Record Settings and click on the Hardware Settings button.
10. Make sure your input and output options are set to the 001 and click OK.
11. In the Record Settings window click on the Device and Sample Format button.
